🔥 1. Uses Heat, Not Just Force
  - Steam cleaning heats water to   producing hot vapor that breaks down grease, oil, mold, and grime. 
 
  - Pressure washing relies mostly on high water pressure — often 1,500–4,000 PSI — to blast dirt away. 
 
  - Heat from steam loosens contaminants      at a molecular level, making it more effective on oily or greasy surfaces.      
 
🌿 2. Kills Germs, Mold, and Bacteria
  - Steam naturally sanitizes     surfaces — it kills up to 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and mold spores      without chemicals. 
 
  - Pressure washing only removes visible      debris; it doesn’t disinfect or kill microorganisms. 
 
🧼 3. Gentler on Surfaces
  - Steam cleaning uses lower pressure     (usually under 150 PSI), making it safe for delicate materials like wood,      paint, siding, and grout. 
 
  - Pressure washing can damage     softer surfaces — stripping paint, etching concrete, or forcing water      behind siding. 
 
💧 4. Uses Less Water
  - Steam cleaning typically uses 80–90%      less water than pressure washing. 
 
  - This makes it more environmentally      friendly and ideal for areas with water restrictions. 
 
🧽 5. Better for Stain and Grease Removal
  - Steam cuts through oil, gum, graffiti,      and food residue more effectively than cold or warm water under pressure. 
 
  - That’s why it’s preferred for      kitchens, industrial equipment, and vehicles. 
 
⚙️ When Pressure Washing Might Be Better
  - For large outdoor surfaces     (like driveways or decks) covered in mud or loose dirt, pressure washing      is faster and more economical. 
 
  - Steam cleaning is slower and may not      be practical for very large areas. 
 
✅ In short:
  - Steam cleaning = deep, sanitary, eco-friendly      cleaning (great for grease, mold, and sensitive surfaces). 
 
  - Pressure washing = fast, high-volume cleaning for big      outdoor jobs.
 
Why Seal your walkways and Patios
🧱 1. Protection from Moisture and Freeze-Thaw Damage
  - Concrete is porous — it absorbs water.      
 
  - When water seeps in and freezes, it      expands, causing cracking, scaling, and spalling. 
 
  - A sealer repels water and reduces this      damage, especially in freeze-thaw climates. 
 
☀️ 2. Resistance to Stains and Chemicals
  - Sealing helps prevent staining from      oil, de-icers, salt, and organic matter (like leaves). 
 
  - It also protects against damage from      fertilizers and other household chemicals. 
 
💪 3. Increased Durability
  - Sealers reduce surface wear from foot      traffic and abrasion. 
 
  - This means fewer repairs and a longer      service life for your walkway. 
 
🎨 4. Enhanced Appearance
  - Sealers can deepen the color of      decorative concrete or exposed aggregate.
