Green Cleaning Detergents Boost Pressure Washer Power

Using cleaning detergents in the detergent chamber of a pressure washer is a great way to boost the cleaning abilities of pressure washing machines. Cold water pressure washing units are believed to have lower cleaning power than heated models, as cleaning power increases with temperature. These cold water units, as well as hot water or steam systems requiring additional power, can have their cleaning abilities greatly enhanced with the use of the right cleaning detergents. However, many industrial detergents on the market are toxic for the environment, the pressure washer operator, and the surfaces to be cleaned. For this reason, industrial pressure washer operators are now opting for advanced green cleaners.

Eco-friendly cleaning chemicals like the Eco-Green® line from Daimer® offer effective cleaning power that is safe for the environment, users, and surfaces. In fact, many of the green cleaning products from the Eco-Green® range are designed for tackling the toughest jobs while remaining environmentally-friendly, non-toxic, and readily biodegradable.

Graffiti and Concrete

Conventional cleaning detergents are sometimes used in cleaning graffiti but usually fail in doing so. Graffiti is one of the toughest stains to clean. In many cases, toxic cleaning agents end up corroding the surface the graffiti has been painted on. Eco-Green® Graffiti Remover is a plant-based product, which means there is no risk of the solution corroding or damaging the surface in any way. This cleaning solution accentuates the cleaning power of pressure washing units with its own special Micro-Blasting® technology. Like all Eco-Green® products, Eco-Green® Graffiti Remover works to penetrate dirt and paint molecules and break them down into tiny particles emulsified in water. Containing lifters and emulsifiers, these graffiti cleaning detergents lift away even the most stubborn paint, graffiti, and marker stains from concrete, brick, building exteriors, and other surfaces.

Another task that many ordinary cleaning detergents find hard to tackle completely is concrete cleaning. Pressure washing units are often used for the job but sometimes cannot remove deposits like rust or deep-seated grime stains. Eco-Green® Concrete Cleaner with Rust Stain Remover works to remove a range of different stains, including grease and mold. This is all done without damaging the concrete in any way. Regular use of these cleaning detergents along with pressure washing systems keep concrete surfaces clean, thus increasing their effective lifespan.

A Question of Salt

During the cold season, salt is often used to melt snow and ice formations on roads and driveways. While the ice is safely melted away, the salt stays behind and settles onto the concrete and road surfaces. This affects the roads in a unique manner, as continued use of salt can cause road corrosion and rust in places like bridges. Unfortunately, sometimes the salt settles in very small pores that the pressure washing unit cannot remove. Eco-Green® Salt XTerminator® Concrete Protection Formula can work to remove the salt before it gets a chance to cause corrosive damage. This formula can penetrate and flush out almost all kinds of salt particles. This is a marked difference from traditional cleaning detergents, which only remove about 20 percent of salt deposits or less.

The salt used for melting snow during the cold season also does considerable damage to steel structures and buildings. Other areas that face the threat of salt corrosion are marine vessels, like boats and ships. Eco-Green® Salt XTerminator® Corrosion Prevention Formula works to coat metal surfaces and prevent salt deposition and corrosion.

Whether you are looking to clean concrete and building exteriors, remove graffiti, eliminate salt from concrete and metal structures, or a host of other heavy-duty cleaning tasks, the combination of specialized Eco-Green® green chemicals and a pressure washer is essential to get the job done right.
