Why Electric Pressure Washers are Best for Building Maintenance

Electric pressure washers have many advantages over non-electric (gasoline, diesel, or propane powered) machines. The first is that electric machines may be used indoors and outdoors, while non-electric machines are most commonly used solely outdoors due to the fumes they generate. Second, electricity is a cheap power source and it is a clean fuel. Third, electric pressure washers require less maintenance because electricity creates no carbon residue.

The one point you should take into consideration when looking for electric pressure washers is the availability of electricity on premises. If the building is under construction with no electricity supply, or you need to clean vast grounds outside the building, you may have to use gas or propane powered machines.

Electric pressure washers have various heating methods. Some machines are fully electric: both power and heating is facilitated by electricity. Other machines have electric motors but they may be heated by natural gas, propane, diesel, or heating oil.

When selecting electric pressure washers for cleaning indoor areas, there are a few points to consider:

1. Pressure Level: An electric power washer can have pressure levels as high as 8000 psi. Make sure you invest in an electric power washer designed for commercial use for cleaning on a commercial or contract basis. The minimum pressure level of a commercial machine is around 700 psi. Pressure requirements depend on type of surface, type of dirt, and frequency of cleaning. For cleaning light layers of dust, pollen, or carbon black from metal or painted surfaces, lower pressure levels are recommended. Do not use very high pressure level on bricks. Granite, concrete, tiles, machinery, and other similar surfaces can withstand higher pressure, and you will need high pressure machines for removing deep layers of grease from walls, floors, patios, stairways, basements, and others. Pressure levels of around 2000-3500 psi are ideal for industrial cleaning.
   
   
2. Heat: It is not necessary that you invest in hot pressure washers, but heat does make cleaning a lot easier, particularly when it comes to removing grease, sugars, oil, and petroleum residues. Some electric pressure washers achieve very high steam temperatures of 330°F. For cleaning mud, pollen, molds, algae, plant sap, and dirt, cold water machines are good. You may add detergent to the water to add more power to the cleaning process. If unsure of the applications you will face, a tri-mode pressure washer is your best bet, allowing operators to select cold water, hot water, or wet steam output as needed.

1. Mobility: Mobile hot pressure washer machines are mounted on wheels for easy handling inside a building. If you plan to use the pressure washing system outdoors, purchase a machine that can be fitted on a trailer. For cleaning within a defined area, a stationary pressure washing system is sufficient.

1. Multi-User Function: Industrial pressure cleaners are capable of handling a variety of functions. Some machines can be operated simultaneously by more than one user, often an additional option. This enhances machine productivity considerably. These hot water pressure washers are used inside factories, processing plants, and under-construction buildings for after-work cleanup.

Power washers for building maintenance are time and labor savers. If you don’t have one already, buy one to increase work productivity and eliminate hassles related to cleaning up the work site after construction or manufacturing activity.
