Commercial Steam Cleaners

When it comes to certain cleaning tasks cold water just won’t be able to do the job, therefore you have to look at steam cleaners as an option. These allow for high temperature and high pressure cleaning, as a combination become very effective in a lot of cases, for example cleaning grease, oil, stains, graffiti and many other uses. When the temperature is high enough some of the equipment is also capable of sterilizing a surface which is important in the food production industry.

Why Use Steam Cleaners?

Steam cleaners offer a number of benefits that you can take advantage of, especially when it comes to ensuring that your property is clean and spotless. In fact, steam cleaners can help remove a number of different substances, including dirt, grime, grease, oil, and stains.

Whenever you have a surface with grime or dirt that has an adhesive quality, it can be challenging to clean this effectively. This is where a steam cleaner comes in handy. As steam cleaners utilise hot water and high pressure, the steam that is released can help break down these substances, allowing them to be easily removed.

As a result, if you are looking to remove oil, for example, you should use a steam cleaner to first melt the substance down, and then fully remove the substance with a cloth, mop, or vacuum.

Disinfect and Sanitise Surfaces with Steam Cleaners

Steam cleaners are useful for disinfecting and sterilising surfaces, making them an essential product to have for industries such as food production, healthcare, and more. Keeping your surfaces sanitised is crucial for any business, especially in a post-pandemic world where health and hygiene in the workplace is highly prioritised. With our collection of steam cleaners, you can rest assured that your property is kept hygienic and clean.

Petrol Water Blaster Advantages

The biggest benefit of a petrol water blaster is that you don’t need to be near an electrical power source to use one. In fact, you can be just about anywhere. So long as the water blaster has petrol, it will work.

Petrol water blasters are also the best option if you want a powerful pressure washer. They are also often the preferred choice for people and companies that need to use the water blaster on a daily or almost daily basis. One of the reasons for this is that petrol water blasters are highly durable and rugged.

Electric Water Blaster Advantages

One of the main points of difference you will notice between petrol and electric water blasters is the weight – petrol water blasters are much heavier. This is partly down to the weight of the engine and partly due to the weight of the fuel. In reality, though, you are unlikely to be at too much of a disadvantage if you choose a petrol option as most water blasters are on wheels, making them easy to manoeuvre. However, weight is still a factor to consider, and electric comes out on top.

Electric water blasters also require less maintenance. Of course, regular maintenance is important whatever type of water blaster you get, but the level of maintenance required is higher with a petrol option.

Costs are lower with an electric water blaster compared to petrol options, too, both in terms of the initial purchase price and ongoing costs. You will also find that electric water blasters are quieter to use, and they are better for the environment.

What About the Diesel Water Blaster Option?

Another option you have is to choose a diesel water blaster. So, what is the difference between a petrol and diesel water blaster, and how do you choose between the two?

Petrol water blasters are typically in the medium power category, while diesel water blasters are high-powered. However, the extra power, as well as the nature of diesel engines, makes diesel options noisier than their petrol counterparts. As a result, they are usually used in outdoor locations.

Which Option Should You Choose?

Electric, petrol, or diesel – which should you choose? The decision comes down to what you intend to use the pressure washer for, how often it will be used, where you will use it, and your budget.

Diesel will be best for a lot of power and regular use. Petrol is the ideal choice for daily use, maximum portability, and a decent amount of power. Electric is likely to be the best option in other situations.
