What's The Difference Between Pressure Washing and Jet Washing?

Jet washing is a broad term that refers to any cleaning method where water is sprayed through a jet nozzle under force — regardless of pressure level or water temperature. As long as water is delivered through a jet nozzle, it's classed as jet washing.

This can include:

• High-pressure cold water cleaning (standard pressure washing)

• High-pressure steam cleaning

• Low-pressure steam or hot water cleaning

• Low-pressure cold rinsing

Pressure washing is just one variation — specifically, high-pressure cold water cleaning. So, while all pressure washing is a form of jet washing, not all jet washing is pressure washing. Jet washing serves as the umbrella category, covering various techniques tailored to different surfaces and cleaning needs.
