Pressure washers have become popular cleaning equipment for both residential and commercial customers, as well as for industrial or commercial buildings. This is because of their easy cleaning method, compact size and easy transportation. As a result of this vast spectrum of users, there are a large variety of equipment and accessories in the market. To be sure you get the right model for your business, look for a pressure washer labeled "commercial" or "professional".
Professional vs. Homemade
A commercial-grade pressure washer is built with durable materials that can withstand the heavy-duty operation. Manufacturers often divide their product lines into two separate categories, one for home use and the other for professional usage, depending on the intended audience.
You may use a pressure washer with a tank if you don't have access to a tap for a consistent supply of pressurized water, providing the unit has self-priming capabilities. It's a good idea to see whether the machine comes with additional accessories, such as a filter and suction hoss. Even with the filter installed, most pressure washers are not acceptable for use with unclean water, even if they are equipped with one.
Additional considerations, such as space, must be made in addition to the essential issues of electricity and water use. On the ground level, pressure washers having upright wheeled may be a practical, powerful, and very mobile alternative, even though they are huge and awkward when navigating steps and obstructions. You may wish to invest in an appliance that is lightweight and portable in design. Pressure washers are available in wall-mounted designs, making them suitable for use in busy situations such as garages and car depots.
Accessories for Pressure Washers
There are many various pressure washer kits and combinations to choose from, making it possible to save money on the accessories you need while still getting what you need. These include domed nozzle attachments, known as patio cleaners or hard surface cleaners, which perform the same function as splash shields that may be attached to the lance of a normal pressure washer. The purpose of these devices is to keep water and debris from saturating the surrounding environment by containing the spray within the unit. Using this method, you may pressure wash your patio without contaminating neighboring walls, windows, or other surfaces with dirty water.
Pressure washer detergents and shampoos may be used to clean a variety of surfaces, including vehicles, patios, decks, stoneware, and more. A machine like a 2-1 pressure washer, which lets you insert detergent bottles directly into the machine, may prove to be a better option if you plan to use detergent frequently. Dishwasher nozzles with built-in tanks and hose connectors that tap detergent from an external source are two further options for detergent application.
There are a variety of wash brushes that attach to the spray lance of a pressure washer to help remove dirt and grime as you go by hand. The vast majority of them are geared at car cleaning, although others are specifically designed for specialized jobs like cleaning between the spokes of a bicycle's alloy wheels.
