What is mobile power washing?
Mobile power washing uses a high-pressure water system to clean vehicles and equipment. Power washing can include the following: • Transportation-related washing of trucks, semitrailer interiors, lunch wagons, food carts, and other vehicles • Surface washing of sidewalks, building exteriors, and other outside areas and structures • Food service and retailer washing of alleys and dumpsters Water, detergents, degreasers, and other products are used for mobile power washing. Although solvent degreasers can also be used, this fact sheet does not cover mobile power washing using solvents. For more information on mobile power washing with solvents, call the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at (217) 782-0610.
