Two types of hard surface cleaners are used in restaurants: pressure washers and steam cleaners. Although both these machines are hard surface cleaners, they are ideal for different cleaning applications. Most professionals prefer using pressure washers for outdoor cleaning, as steam cleaners lack the pressure levels and power needed to clean such large areas and porous surfaces.
Each of these machines has its own advantages. Below is an overview of the main uses of pressure cleaners for restaurant cleaning.
Cleaning Pavement and Parking Lots
Pressure washers are preferred for cleaning outdoor areas such as building exteriors, parking lots, sidewalks, and other types of pavement. These machines pump water output at reasonably high pressure levels and flow rates onto concrete surfaces. This washes away the dirt, impurities, and stains present on the porous surface.
Machines, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 12300, feature pressure levels of 3000 psi, a flow rate of 5 GPM, and tri-mode temperature options, ideal specifications for removing tough stains from concrete surfaces. This means the 12300 can utilize cold water at room temperature, hot water at 210°F, and steam temperatures of 330°F to match the demands of the application at hand. When using pressure washers, it is important to make sure the surface can withstand such high pressure levels. This is usually not a concern when cleaning outdoor concrete surfaces, but can present a problem when cleaning indoors.
Cleaning Dining Hall and Kitchen
For those with adequate indoor drainage, pressure cleaners can be used indoors as well. Machines with excessive amounts of grease can be cleaned using tri-mode pressure washers, such as the Super Max™ 12300. Dirty floors can be cleaned as well. For areas without proper drainage, Daimer® offer pressure cleaners with low flow rates to minimize the water output used.
