What are Pressure Washers?

A Pressure Washer combines pressure with the flow of water to wash a range of surfaces. Many people use a Pressure Washer to clean their car or patio. There are a number of different Pressure Washers available to buy, suited to different cleaning applications.

With so many different Pressure Washers available to buy PressureWasher.co.uk provides useful information on Pressure Washers enabling you to choose the correct product for your cleaning needs.

Types of Pressure Washer

When it comes to choosing the right pressure for the job, each machine has a bar rating where 100 bar is a lightweight pressure for domestic use, and 120+ is more heavy duty for commercial work. There are also machines that come with adjustable pressure allowing users to find the right level for the specific job.

The main types of pressure washer include domestic washers, which are the cheapest option and meant for light use around the home. Commercial washers are made for prolonged use, are more expensive and designed to be more robust and last longer. There are also pressure washers in hot or cold formats, and those that are mounted onto wheels for portability.

The specific type of pressure washer used will depend on what's going to be cleaned. For example, if you are only using it to wash your car then a lower pressure can be used. However, if it needs to be used very frequently then the best option is to go for a commercial pressure washer which will last a lot longer with frequent use.

Uses for Pressure Washers

Pressure washers are able to clean surfaces that may seem as though they cannot be cleaned in any other way. This is due to the fact that water is literally blasted across the surface, taking with it any material that has attached itself to the surface in question - including dirt, paint and more. This means that you will even be able to clean away dirt that has been building up for years!

Pressure washers can be used on a range of outdoor surfaces, and here are just some of the uses:

» Washing cars, trucks, motorbikes, bicycles, boats and more.
» Decking can also be cleaned, but not with prolonged use as this may damage the wood.
» Fences of all materials can be cleaned of dirt.
» Patio furniture is another popular use of the pressure washer. This is especially useful if old paint needs to be blasted off ready for repainting.
» Gutters can be cleaned effectively avoiding the need for dirty jobs.
» Driveways are almost impossible to clean without the use of a pressure washer, and washers also make covering a large area a lot easier.
» In industry they are frequently used on machinery.
» Apart from this, pressure washers can also be used on just about any other kind of outdoor surface!
