Gas Pressure Washers and the Power Equation

by Lauren Zwiebel

Many buyers opt for gas pressure washers because they offer a convenient and mobile cleaning solution. When it comes to outdoor cleaning jobs or cleaning applications that cover a large area, gas powered units are smart options that provide fast and convenient cleaning. These gas powered pressure washing machines are often used for outdoor cleaning jobs, fleet maintenance or for individual detailing jobs on vehicles and boats. There is a common misconception that these pressure washers lack the cleaning power that electrically powered units have. The truth is that gas pressure cleaners can pack a pretty strong punch when it comes to cleaning power.

Heavy-Duty Cleaning Power
A number of gas pressure washers available on the market today provide special features and cleaning power that is more than able to meet the most demanding cleaning applications. Many gas powered units can work as steam pressure washers, with the ability to reach temperatures of up to 330°F. There are a number of gas powered units which also come with tri-mode features, which means they can operate as cold water, hot water and steam powered machines in one convenient unit.

While gas pressure washers are generally used for outdoor cleaning, they can also be used to handle indoor cleaning tasks as well. These units can be used in areas that are large and well-ventilated. In the absence of proper ventilation, these units can be kept outside and the user can use extension cords to clean indoors.

Experience the Quiet Cleaning Power of Electric Pressure Washers

by Lauren Zwiebel

Electric pressure washers are used in a number ways within commercial and industrial areas. There is a common misconception that electrically-powered units are less convenient than fuel-powered units. It’s true that gas, diesel and propane-powered pressure washing machines have their advantages, particularly when it comes to cleaning in areas that have no ready access to a power source. However, electrically-powered units have their own unique benefits as well and can handle a number of cleaning applications that fuel-powered high pressure washers can’t tackle.

Strong but Silent
While fuel-powered units are great for outdoor cleaning tasks and for tackling jobs that have no access to electricity, they do have their own set of drawbacks. One of the biggest drawbacks of these units is the fact that they produce exhaust fumes during cleaning. This can be fine for cleaning outdoors, but can be an issue when cleaning areas that have little or no ventilation. Apart from that, they can make a lot of noise, which might be fine when cleaning outdoors but can pose a problem with indoor cleaning, especially in places like hotels or hospitals. Electric pressure washers offer quiet, exhaust-free cleaning that is ideally suited for areas like schools, hotels, hospitals and nursing homes.

Electric pressure washers also come as mobile models for extra user convenience. Stationary models can be used with extension cords or long hoses to increase their reach. In this way, many stationary electric units are used even for outdoor cleaning jobs. These units provide an exhaust-free, efficient and eco-friendly cleaning option that can be used in many different areas.

Electric Pressure Washers - Quiet, Powerful Way to Clean Any Surface

by Lauren Zwiebel

Electric pressure washers are convenient to use because all you need to start the machine is an electrical outlet. You are spared the hassle of buying and filling expensive liquid fuel. Pressure washers that run on electricity are considered eco-friendly and hence, a more responsible option than those that run on fuel.

Another advantage of using electric models is that they are generally lighter than other machines making them easier to handle and operate. They are versatile and available for residential and commercial use with various features that allow for comprehensive and quick cleaning of dirt and grime from almost any surface.

Electric pressure washers operate more quietly when compared to fuel powered machines. Pressure washers clean by releasing water through a tiny nozzle at high pressures. When features such as steam and heat are added to high pressure washers, their cleaning prowess increases dramatically. They can then be used to dislodge and blast away stains that are stubborn and not easy to remove using conventional cleaning methods.

Another reason why electrically operated pressure washers are preferred especially for residential use is that they do not emit any exhaust. They are, therefore, perfect for indoor cleaning. Machines that run on fuel cannot be used in such conditions without proper ventilation.

Electric pressure cleaning machines are easy to operate and can be used for any type of cleaning because of their immense power.

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.

Pressure Washers – More about the Trailer Mounted Versions

by Lauren Zwiebel

Regardless of what your specific cleaning requirements are, portable pressure washers are very popular. When it comes to industrial cleaning operations that involve maintaining vast areas, your power cleaning equipment must be portable enough to ensure high productivity and efficiency. For this reason, Daimer® offers you the Super Max™ series pressure cleaning machines in wheeled, trailer mounted and truck mounted versions.

The huge water tanks available with wheel mounted versions of pressure washers like the Super Max™ 6000 enables non-stop operation for long periods. The high-quality, stainless steel components in this power washing system come within a compact design so that you can easily mount it on the sturdy frame featuring roller wheels. The wheeled configuration also makes the power cleaner easy to maneuver.

More advanced versions of pressure washers with higher cleaner efficiencies generally feature trailer mountable configurations. The Super Max™ 12000 is an example of a trailer-mountable power cleaning machine perfectly suited to manage the tough cleaning jobs in industrial environments. The water tanks of such pressure cleaning equipment can be mounted on trucks or skids.

Unlike wheeled versions, the trailer mounted versions of pressure washers require some space so that the truck can be parked close by the application. As a result, the truck mounted are often unsuitable for maintaining indoor areas. They are, however, the best choices of maintenance professionals when it comes to managing contracted cleaning activities in industrial zones.
