I've don't own one, YET, but I've used one on several occasions when I was racing and they are awesome, especially on grease. I think they'd really out perform a pressure washer on raccoon traps.

Steam unit is even better! Similar to a pipe thawing unit, 2 gallons of water will run the unit about a hour. They can be made out of a old 10 gallon hot water heater. I have seen them and they do not need any electricity, just propane!! Dave

I have a pressure washing business. Only cold water P/W should be used on external building surfaces. One reason is condensation from hot water. Using the right cleaning solution and applying it for the proper time should remove almost anything a warm water machine will remove on homes.You should be using a alkaline solution to neutralize the pigeon droppings. Most of the cleaners you can buy from the home centers is a watered down version of the real solutions. Reason is so Joe the home owner does not destroy his home by using them full strength. Look online for commercial P/W solutions.Grease and heavy oil build up is another story. A steam Jenny is your best bet for that. Also dish washing liquid such as dawn works OK in a pinch and you can not harm anything using it. I bet I sold over 1oo washers myself to contract cleaners for building cleaning and every single one of them were hot water washers. you can always shut the burner off if you wand cold water, but cold is almost never the better option
