As a home appliance, pressure washers give an added level of power and flexibility when it comes to cleaning tasks. These products are the ideal partner when it comes to tackling build up of grime and dirt, with their powerful jets of water able to displace and remove even the most stubborn entities.
The design of a pressure washer also makes cleaning larger surfaces and areas far easier. From a single spot, you can stand with a pressure washer and get a vast area cleaned and looking exactly as you wish. We’re big fans of pressure washers at Direct Vacuums, so we’ve put together a handy guide to what these products are, how they work and what you can use them for. What is a pressure washer and how do they work? A pressure washer is essentially a super-powered hose that sends water out in a powerful, pressurised jet. The pressure of this jet can be up to 200 times higher than that of the air around it, giving a user far more power to tackle dirt and grim build up. Your typical pressure washer features an inlet that connects it to the mains water supply. This ordinarily will have a filter that stops bits of dirt and rubble getting into your pressure washer, ensuring just water comes flying out to clean your surfaces. Depending on the model, your pressure washer will either be electric or gas operated. Most domestic models need to be connected to an electrical mains that then powers the pressure washer’s motor. Other components include a water pump. This is the key thing behind the super fast stream of water that characterises a pressure washer. There’s also a specially designed hose that is made to handle the high pressure water, while many models come with different attachments that can be used for various tasks depending on the user’s needs. What can they help clean? Pressure cleaners are made for outside use, and generally should only be used for tasks outside your four walls. Speaking of which, pressure washers are great for cleaning house walls, sheds and other large surfaces. The powerful stream of water can quickly remove dirt and grime, and will take you a fair time less than using a sponge and some water! Pressure washers are great for patios, decking and driveways too, with water able to penetrate hard to reach areas. They also can work wonders on drains and gutters, as well as windows and fencing. These items are also the ideal thing to clean a car with and get it shining brightly, while bikes and other outdoor equipment can also quickly be made to look like new. Where can I get one?
