Three Tips to Buy Portable Pressure Washers

by Lauren Zwiebel

Portable pressure washers are handy machines that make hard surface cleaning easier and more efficient. Many models of these portable cleaning machines are available at present. You may find it difficult to choose the right one for yourself. The following are three basic tips that would help you to choose the right machine.

Tip 1: Power Source
For all kinds of portable pressure washers, the source of power is very important. Pressure washing machines have either an electric motor or a combustion engine to power the pump. Machines with an electric motor are often not ideal for outdoor use, as electrical outlets may not be easily available in all outdoor areas. Machines using a combustion engine, that is, gasoline, propane, or diesel pressure washers, are more mobile for outdoor cleaning, but should not be used indoors without proper ventilation. Toxic fumes could build up.

Tip 2: Type of Machine
There are two types of portable pressure washers offered by Daimer® in their Super Max™ series—wheel-attached and truck-mountable. Truck-mountable machines, such as the Super Max™ 12300 are easily mounted onto trucks or trailers for movement over larger areas. They are often ideal for construction areas as well as cleaning parks and parking lots. Wheel mounted machines, such as the Super Max™ 7000, are ideal for cleaning smaller areas, such as store fronts and sidewalks in front of buildings.

Tip 3: Find Right Supplier
A simple search on the internet will result in a number of companies that supply pressure cleaners. It is important to choose a supplier that offers quality machines and is well known for their products.

What are Steam Pressure Washers and their Uses

by Lauren Zwiebel

There are steam cleaners and carpet steam cleaners – and now there are steam pressure washers. Steam cleaners provide steam output at very high temperatures to clean hard surfaces. Carpet steam cleaners are essentially carpet cleaners that provide heated output.

So, what are steam pressure washers? This post provides the answers.

Types of Pressure Washers
Pressure washing machines can be classified into three types based on their output temperature: cold water machines, hot water machines, and steam machines. Cold water machines do not have a heating element and can only accept pre-heated water. Hot water machines can raise the output temperature up to 210°F.

Steam pressure washers can provide an output temperature of 330°F, the highest for any pressure washing machine. The main advantage of these machines is that they can provide both high temperature and high pressure.

Uses of Steam Pressure Washers
Steam pressure washers from Daimer®, a reputable supplier, have a variety of uses. Machines in their Super Max™ series, such as the Super Max™ 12200, are used for heavy duty industrial degreasing, one of the hardest commercial cleaning tasks. These are also machines used for auto detailing.

Machines with high temperature output clean more efficiently and finish the job quickly. However, look got machines with low flow rates to ensure minimal water use and wastage.

Why Pressure Washers Are Best for Graffiti Removal

by Lauren Zwiebel

Pressure washers are well known for their high output pressure and cleaning efficiency. These systems are widely used for difficult cleaning tasks, such as industrial degreasing. These are commonly used for relatively mild cleaning processes too, such as auto detailing and graffiti removal.

Among such jobs, graffiti removal is of particular significance. Pressure washers are the most commonly used machines for this cleaning task. This postdiscusses reasons that make these machines suitable for removing graffiti from public places and commercial buildings.

Ideal Features
When removing graffiti, one requires a machine that can provide high pressure output flow. Pressure washers from Daimer® offer the ability to exert pressure levels up to 8000 psi. Machines with such high pressure are not required for normal graffiti removal tasks. For graffiti removal, the ideal machine will have an output pressure in the range of 3000 psi.

Function
Pressure washers such as the Super Max ™ 6000, use high pressure output that blast away the dirt and impurities, making the machines suitable for removing graffiti present on walls and floors.

One needs only to check the flow rate of the machine. Flow rate is the quantity of water passed to the surface per minute. Machines with a low flow rate must be used in areas where water is scarcely available and where water run-off facilities are poor.

Pressure Washers and the Cleaning Power of Steam

by Lauren Zwiebel

For heavy duty, formidable cleaning power that is also eco-friendly, steam pressure washers are the ideal choice. These units offer the most effective cleaning power in the industry by combining the abilities of pressure washing units and steam cleaning in one unit with tri-mode technology. These machines are ideal for a number of heavy-duty, industrial cleaning tasks ordinarily tackled using very harsh chemical cleaning agents. Steam pressure washers are equally adept at handling these kinds of cleaning tasks in a way that doesn’t harm the environment or leave behind any harmful fumes or traces.

Daimer® understands the unique and difficult challenges in removing various kinds of industrial sediment and debris. For instance, heavy grease is one of the most difficult deposits to remove, since it has a tendency to cling to the surface. As a result, a thin, sticky residual film may remain even after cleaning. Steam pressure washers from Daimer®, such as the Super Max™ 6000, perfectly combine the powers of pressure cleaning and steam cleaning to remove these kinds of deposits. Optimum pressure levels of 750 psi, temperature levels up to 330°F, and a flow rate of 1.4 GPM work to physically lift and wash away the deposit from the surface. At the same time, the steam works to soften and dissolve away the grease, making it easier to remove.

These steam pressure washers can remove heavy grease and a number of other deposits by simply using water.

by Lauren Zwiebel

Pressure washers are used for a variety of different cleaning applications, ranging from auto detailing to cleaning agricultural equipment. These units are an effective and eco-friendly alternative to many other conventional cleaning methods, particularly those that involve harsh chemical cleaning agents.

The pressure washers from Daimer® use force of pressurized water to lift and remove different kinds of sediments and deposits from a number of different surfaces. One area in which these machines have proven to be very useful is in cleaning public areas like parks and streets.

Pressure washers are perfect for the task of cleaning public areas like sidewalks, walkways, parking lots, roads, and even public transportation vehicles. These are all things that are used by hundreds of people, every single day. As a result, they not only pick up a lot of dirt and debris, but they need to be kept as clean as possible at all times.

Using chemical cleaning products is not always the best option as they often can't get rid of hardened or very stubborn sediments. Pressure washing units use the power of varying pressure levels, flow rates, and temperature options to get the job done.

Pressure washers also come in varying modes as well, each one suited to a different kind of cleaning task. For example, Daimer®’s Super Max™ 8900C-640 cold water pressure washing units can handle relatively light jobs, like cleaning indoor walkways.

Tougher cleaning tasks, like washing parking lots that are spotted with grease stains, can be better handled with hot-water units. The toughest cleaning tasks are best handled using steam pressure washing units.

Industrial Pressure Washers Work on Machines, But What about Carpets?

by Lauren Zwiebel

When it comes to industrial cleaning, pressure washers are among the most popular cleaning machines that are used. Today, their popularity has increased for a number of different reasons. Because they are more eco-friendly, many companies are making the switch to pressure washing units to lessen their carbon footprint. These systems are not only effective, but they are versatile enough to be used on a range of different jobs. While light cleaning jobs can be tackled with cold water units, steam pressure washers are the optimum choice for jobs like degreasing. Just as there are specific pressure washers suited to industrial cleaning jobs, there are specific carpet cleaners to be used on carpets.

Pressure washers are far too powerful for cleaning carpets. With high pressure levels, reaching up to 8000 psi, this can surely damage carpets, rugs, and upholstery. In addition, the excessive amounts of water used will leave the carpets extremely wet, taking them a long time to dry. For this reason, pressure washers should be used for cleaning durable hard surfaces.

Pressure washers, such as Daimer®’s Super Max™ 6000, feature pressure levels of 750 psi, flow rates of 1.4 GPM, and pressure levels up to 330°F. With such high pressure levels, this machine would surely damage carpets. However, pressure washers such as this are ideal for auto detailing, cleaning walkways and buildings, and degreasing tasks.
