Eco‑Friendly Pressure Washing: Biodegradable Detergents for a Cleaner Environment | Tempest Wash Co

Published on July 21, 2025

Pressure washing doesn't have to harm the environment. In fact, using biodegradable detergents ensures effective cleaning without ecological damage. Here’s how green cleaning works and why it matters.


What Makes a Detergent Biodegradable?

Biodegradable detergents are formulated to break down naturally without leaving harmful residues. They:

  • Contain plant-based surfactants
  • Lack phosphates and harsh chemicals
  • Degrade quickly in soil or water

Using these reduces pollution and protects plants and wildlife.
