  • When it comes to cleaning up after a snowstorm, hot water pressure washing is a game-changer. In this video, see how powerful hot water can be against frozen snow and ice as it is used to clean a backyard patio and deck area in the middle of winter. With the help of a big diesel burner, the water is heated to very high temperatures, melting filthy, dirt-covered icy surfaces and allowing for easy cleanup without having to resort to salt. It's an oddly satisfying sight as pesky ice is destroyed, clearing the way for an awesome backyard birthday party. If you want to make winter cleanups a breeze, hot water pressure washing is a must-have. #pressurewashing #snow #ice #wintercleanup

      Take longer than you might expect. Even with a big commercial hot pressure washer.

    After the ice is cleared, do you ever find that the wet surface Re-freezes and becomes ice again?

      When using hot water powerwashing the risk to re-freeze isn't as bad. If it's mild out or in the direct sunlight it'll usually evaporate before freezing, as long as you're not leaving big puddles.

    Just to note, the diesel burner is a little smoky when it first starts up as you can see. Clears up afterwards.

    will it melt thick ice that has been on asphalt for a few days? also do you know how hot the water is? about

      When trying to melt ice, the more flow you have the better. It can work on thick ice, but you'll find it more efficient if you can delaminate the ice from the surface and break it off in chunks without melting it.
      I probably had the machine set to 85 F (30C) so was likely less than that coming out of the nozzle.

    Does it leave a slippery surface afterwards?

      If you're using hot water pressure washing on a sunny day it evaporates fairly quickly depending on the thermal mass of the surface it's on. So you can do this on a sunny day in the winter and not have to worry about salting after

    Massive square of mud in the middle of the porch lol wtf. Curious what kept this from re-freezing and turning into solid ice. My vote is for video A

      It was a sandbox that lost its sides. Currently got a warm spell so no issue with refreezing.

    Is this so you can swap out your snow boots for ice skates when you use it to clear a driveway or sidewalk?
