Sidewalk Cleaning (Concrete) Machines
Sidewalk Cleaning Using Pressure Washing Machines
Keeping sidewalks and parking lots clean can be quite the challenge, especially if you lack the proper equipment. Contactors and cleaning services cannot afford to depend on low-end, cheap, residential-use machines. These machines may be fine for use in homes or small commercial areas on a limited scale, but large-scale, heavy commercial operations are beyond the capabilities of such machines.
Daimer® offers the solution to the challenges of commercial cleaning. It sells a lineup of powerful, efficient pressure washers designed specifically for commercial cleaning applications. One of the most robust applications of these machines happens to be cleaning outdoor locations, specifically roads, sidewalks, and parking lots.
Power Method
Decide if the pressure washer should be electric, gasoline, or diesel powered. Electric pressure washer may seem the best option as it can be used outdoors and indoors. An electric pressure washer is produces less noise and no fumes, unlike fuel powered machines. Another reason contractors prefer electric machines is the easy availability of electricity.
However, there are specific circumstances when you cannot use a commercial pressure washer with an electric motor. For example, if you are working in an area where a power supply is not guaranteed—and this is common when you are cleaning isolate stretches of roads and sidewalks—you need to look at alternative power sources.
Gasoline pressure cleaners are used when electricity is not available or you cannot use the local electricity source for any reason. These machines, unlike electric machines, have gasoline-run engines that emit smoke and may be noisier than electric motors. However, that should not be a problem when you are cleaning outdoor areas.
Hot Water Washing
It is well known that hot water cleans grease, stains, and grime. This is possible because heat acts on the chemical bonds to break down grease and dirt, and once these chemical bonds are dissolved, dirt is removed easily. Cold water, on the other hand, congeals grease and is not often used for degreasing.
Portability
Contractors often travel long distances for cleaning roads and sidewalks. Naturally, they want a machine that is portable and easily mounted on trailers. The Super Max™ 12860, for example, is an electricity-powered, oil-heated pressure washer that can be easily transported on a trailer.
Electric pressure washers are usually less portable than gas pressure washers in situations where the contractor needs to clean large areas. A larger generator will be required. When cleaning roads and similar places, contractors often use gasoline or diesel-powered steam pressure washers. These pressure cleaners can be transported freely and, therefore, used for cleaning extensive outdoor areas.
High pressure water spray literally blasts dirt off the surface below. Therefore, high pressure washers are much in demand when it comes to cleaning public infrastructure and roads. If you are looking for the best pressure washing equipment for sidewalk cleaning, use a machine with pressure levels preferably higher than 1000 psi. Some of the steam pressure washers sold by Daimer® have pressure levels as high as 4000 psi. Good-quality high pressure washers will enhance productivity and boost your business.
