What are units of cleaning power or cleaning energy?
The measurement units of cleaning power is an easy way to rate pressure washers. To determine the units of cleaning  power for a machine, multiply the psi by the gpm. This calculation helps you compare the different pressure washers. It’s important to keep in mind that this doesn’t take into consideration the affect that hot water has on cleaning. Cleaning is really all about heat.
For example, let’s say you are considering one washer with 2 gpm @ 3,000 psi and another washer with 4 gpm @ 2,000 psi. The units of cleaning power on the first washer a 6,000, while the second unit has 8,000 of cleaning energy. The second machine is more powerful and could be the best choice for your needs. But again, check with your experienced pressure washer salesman.
