High Pressure Washers for Grease Removal


Grease removal becomes easy by using the best high pressure washers. Water at high pressure can remove mud, plant sap, oil residue, chemicals, paint, and dirt from the surface below. The water pressure alone can clear many types of dirt away, reducing the need for toxic, environment-damaging detergents.

The best high pressure washers for removing grease are additionally equipped with a heating device capable of attaining high hot water and steam temperatures. Cold water cannot remove grease easily. In most instances, water at low temperature levels congeals grease and impedes removal. Use a non-heated pressure cleaning equipment only if the grease layer is light and or you add a degreaser to the mix.

The best high pressure washers have high temperature levels. For example, the Super MaxTM 6000 is a tri-mode pressure washer, meaning you can use water at room temperature, hot water up to 210°F, and steam at temperatures of 330°F. This machine has a moderate pressure level of around 750 psi, ideal for low-intensity cleaning such as car exteriors, sidewalks, and patios. Besides high temperature levels, this machine uses siphon-type detergent infusion for added degreasing or additional cleaning power depending on the cleaning solution selected.

The best high pressure washers for indoor degreasing applications are electric powered. Electricity does not pollute or emit combustible gases. Gasoline- or propane-run machines should be used outdoors where electricity supply is unavailable or limited. Gas powered machines are typically not used indoors. However, this can be accomplished by placing the gas, propane, or diesel powered machine outdoors or in an exhaust friendly area. The operator then uses long hoses to reach the desired application. All Daimer® pressure cleaners boast Long Hose Technology to reach applications up to 300 feet from the machine with additional pressure hose lengths without reducing the pressure level.

Finally, do not forget pressure wash detergents to go with these high pressure washer. Daimer® supplies a line of Eco-Green® green cleaning chemicals meant for different pressure cleaning tasks such as degreasing, odor removal, and overall sanitation.

Choosing the Best High Pressure Washers for Restaurants


Many of the best high pressure washers are used for heavy duty industrial degreasing. These machines are also used for many other types of commercial cleaning jobs, such as various cleaning applications in restaurants and hotels. The following are some tips to select the right model of the best high pressure washers.

Choose the Right Pressure Level
Pressure levels of these machines vary widely. Machines can have a pressure levels as low as 500 psi or as high as 8000 psi. For cleaning in restaurants, such as cleaning the floors of commercial kitchens or building exteriors, the operators do not need an extremely high pressure level. A moderate pressure level will be optimum. A restaurant will contain various types of surfaces, and different surfaces have different ideal pressure levels.

Choose Low Moisture Machines
In many cases, restaurants may have limited drainage facilities. To reduce the risk of flooding commercial kitchens or the exterior of the restaurants, low to moderate flow rates may be desirable. The best high pressure washers for these applications have a flow rate ranging from 0.5 to 3 GPM.

Select the Best Temperature Level
Finding the best high pressure washers is dependent on selecting the ideal temperature level for the job at hand. Facing heavy grease, customary in commercial kitchens, requires hot water or steam output. For the most versatile options, consider a tri-mode pressure cleaner capable of operating as a cold water, hot water, or steam system.
