LANCE:
Pressure washing your house or driveway can be described due to gas powered concept washers. These pressure washer are far more powerful but give off a good bit of emissions. Switching to an electric washer has some benefits if you find one that does not release emissions or the other alternative and less effective is water hose and washing by hand. We could also discuss the nature of the house being washed and where the water goes once it leaves the house since most use a soap solution to clean these areas but that would be a whole other tree to start.
