Whether you own, or hire, a power washer from Britclean, we recommend that you read the instructions carefully and always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating the machinery. It’s common for people to store away their power washers after use without doing any necessary maintenance. With any piece of machinery, it’s important to make time and effort to ensure problems do not occur later down the line. We recommend incorporating a maintenance routine every time you use your washer.

Every power washer requires maintenance now and again, so we have put together this helpful guide about how to look after your washer. By following these steps, you’ll be sure to achieve the best results and prolong the life of it.

Before Using:

• Regularly check all parts for wear and tear particularly the nozzle, extension hoses, fluid levels, and detergent system. 
• Always check the oil levels before use. If the pressure washer is low on oil then don’t use it and have it serviced.
• Replace your O-Rings when necessary. Your washer is equipped with multiple O-Rings which are placed under huge pressure. If these rings begin to degrade, they can eventually lead to unexpected leaking and pump failure. 
• Never run your washer without the correct amount of water. Not having enough water can cause the pressure to rise too high.

After Using:

• If you have a petrol or diesel washer, you might want to consider adding stabilisers to your tank when not in use for a longer period of time. If you don’t, gasoline can build up deposits that can clog up and lead to overheating.
• Store your washer in a dry place and use a washer cover which will not hold moisture. 
• During the winter, use antifreeze or pump lubricants on the pistons and seals to prevent freezing and damage from mineral deposits.

In the UK, we’re fairly lucky when it comes to pests. We don’t have massive spiders or wasps that sound like attack helicopters. You never have to worry about stepping on a scorpion in the United Kingdom, and you’re never kept up all night because of Cicadas. What we do have though, is summer and autumn – the time of year when slugs and spiders make their way from the garden and invade our homes. 

At Britclean, we understand that you want to keep your carpet clear of these beasties. We also have some great tips to keep your home clear of insects and other unwanted intruders. So we’ve put together this article with some great, easy-to-accomplish tips to keep your carpet and home safe from slugs and spiders. 

Keeping Spiders Away From Your Carpet

Spiders are a common sight in our homes this time of year as they make their way in from the autumn cold. There are a few ways that you can keep spiders away from your carpet. Let’s go over some of them…

Close All Entry Points

Our first piece of advice is the simplest. Make sure you’ve closed off your windows, doors, and cat doors whenever possible. By keeping your physical points of entry blocked, spiders physically can’t enter your home. While they may still get in through small holes in your drywall and the space between your taps, this will drastically reduce the number of spiders in your home. 

Play Music

Generally speaking, spiders don’t have great eyesight. They rely on vibrations to tell their direction. As such, you can use music to defer spiders from entering your home, as spiders will actively avoid most loud sounds. This means that playing anything from Bruce Springsteen to Lil Nas X in your home will help to ward away most pesky arachnids. 

Clean Your Home

Spiders will generally feed on anything they can get their hands on – including crumbs which have been left on the floor. As such, if you want to keep spiders and other pests out of your home, we thoroughly recommend that you clean your home thoroughly. Not only will this defer spiders from staying in your home, but it will also give you a feeling of accomplishment. 

Keeping Slugs Away From Your Carpet

Salt

If you’re not particular about whether or not your pesky slug invaders survive, salt is a great way of keeping your home free from slugs. Salt is poisonous to slugs and snails, as (through the process of osmosis) it removes water from within slug cells. This dehydrates slugs, which ultimately kills them.

The best way of deploying salt is to pour it in lines outside your entrance and exits, forming a barrier. This should stop most slugs and snails from getting into your home, long before they can come into contact with your carpet. 

Copper Tape

No one is quite sure why slugs don’t like copper. For some people, it’s because the copper and the positive charge of the slug slime create a primitive, organic solenoid. Others argue that it’s due to the salt that naturally builds up on copper. Regardless of the specific reason why most slugs tend to avoid copper wherever possible.

So, how do you use copper tape? Easy, simply lay it in front of your doorstep and within the frame of your doors and windows. This should stop slugs from attempting to make their way into your home. 

Silicon Dioxide 

One great option for deferring slugs from entering your home is using a material like diatomaceous earth on the boundary of your garden. This material, derived from silicon dioxide (also known as quartz) is heavily abrasive. This means that slugs will do everything they can to avoid it if they feel it – making this a great option if you’re looking for a slug repellent that will defer slugs instead of killing them. 

To use silicon dioxide, all you have to do is create a barrier of diatomaceous earth at the edge of your garden. This will keep all your slugs and snails contained.

With Autumn now upon us, the sheer amount of chores and tasks on hand might seem overwhelming – possibly even insurmountable. Whether you need to clean your car, clear away leaves, perform garden maintenance or clean your decking, there will be many jobs to keep you busy this autumn.  

It may surprise you to know that the humble pressure washer can help you with these and many more tasks. So if your list of jobs is growing, let’s look at ways your pressure washer can help you execute some of them. 

Cleaning Garden Furniture

It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say your garden furniture will have seen a considerable amount of usage throughout the summer. With increased usage comes the inevitable scruffs, scratches, as well as the accumulation of dreaded dirt, after all. 

A job on your Autumn To Do List may be to remove this dirt as well as cleaning up those delightful brown and orange leaves. Potentially the most effective and efficient way to clean your garden furniture is via a high-power washer. 

If you pressure wash your garden furniture on a low setting, it has proven effective at getting rid of dirt and hard-to-remove grime in most use cases. 

Cleaning Out The Barbecue

While your garden furniture might see less usage once summer is over, your barbecue’s usage may stop altogether. This is rather unsurprising. Afterall, you will not want to light up a barbecue on a rainy cold autumn evening! 

With the fire from the barbecue well and truly out, there will be all manner of grease and grime left which will need to be cleaned away. And while you may have attempted scrubbing with a heavy duty scourer, the grease and grime may still persist. As such, a more robust way of cleaning may be required. As such, a pressure washer might be the only cleaning solution to get rid of the unwanted grime and dirt.   

Clearing Your Gutters

Clearing your guttering has the potential to be one of the trickiest and most time-consuming chores to perform this autumn. Clearing your guttering usually requires you to mount ladders at a potentially tricky height as well as inevitably getting your hands dirty clearing leaves, grit and sand from the guttering pipes. 

Luckily, many of the trickiest aspects of this typical home maintenance task can be mitigated by using a pressure washer. If you use a lower setting, you will be able to clear your guttering in no time. 

Cleaning Your Patio and Decking

One of the tell-tale signs of autumn is iconic brown and orange leaves scattering all over your elegant decking. While this image might be iconic and welcoming, there is not much thought as to what happens underneath the layer of leaves. 

Beneath this picturesque layer of leaves, all manner of germs and bacteria can accumulate. As you might have guessed by now, the most effective way to clear these pesky germs is by using a pressure washer. Hosing down your decking or patio with a water and detergent mixture is undoubtedly the best way to clean between the gaps, where bacteria and germs can easily grow. 

High-Quality Pressure Washers

At Britclean, we supply a wide range of high-quality pressure washers which you can use to help you finish your autumn chores. So, whether you are looking for commercial vacuums in Cheshire, or  industrial pressure washers in Stoke, contact us today. We are sure we will be able to help you out. 

On the whole, pressure washers have had an expansive and illustrious history. It was actually Frank W.Ofeldt the second that was accredited with inventing the world’s first high power washer. Back in 1926 in the United States, Frank was working at a western based Pennsylvania company when, to his surprise, he accidentally invented the famous pressure washer. 

With such a long and illustrious history, there was little doubt that there would be many interesting facts about pressure washers accumulating over the years. As with most information, some facts can be purely trivial while others can be beyond insightful. 

Being a highly established purveyor of Karcher pressure washers from Staffordshire, we have learnt a thing or two about interesting washer facts. Because of this, we have decided to detail some of the most interesting facts or general information about pressure washers. 

Intriguing Invention 

As previously alluded to, the world’s first high power washer was thought to have been invented by Frank W.Ofeldt back in 1926. He worked at a company which produced gas fired water heating, it was here when he stumbled upon the apparent functions of a pressure washer. 

He just so happened to notice that when his whiskey steam outlet was pointed downwards, the steam could wash away any hard to remove grease and grime away. Because the steam was classified as a liquid without any mass, he theorised that steam could also perform this function. It was not until he actually performed the technique that his suspicions were eventually confirmed however.

The Steam Jenny

Following on nicely from our previous fact, in 1927 (the year following the high power washers invention) the so called steam jenny revolutionised washing worldwide. The steam jenny provides a cost effective manner in which to clean grease, mildew and other hard to clean substances.  

The name steam jenny had an interesting conception. In short, Frank W.Ofeldt went searching for a company to develop his new product. He eventually stumbled upon the Homestead Valve Company, it was here where the managers of the company discussed the name of the product. 

When they detailed that the product generated a high pressure washer vapour spray, one of the managers advised they call the washer a high pressure steam jenny. The rest, as they say, is history. 

Power and Speeds

As the name clearly suggests, pressure washers usually carry a substantial amount of power and produces water at quite a considerable speed. This can become apparent by simply looking at the washer when it action. 

But when looking at the power and speed omitted by a high power washer, it becomes apparent that there are some quite impressive numbers behind it. While the output can depend entirely on the model and make of the washer, we think in this instance it would be beneficial to look at an example. 

A washer with a flow rate of 3 GPM using a typical nozzle of 0 degrees and an orifice of 1.32mm, produces water at the speed of around 243 miles per hour. As you might have guessed, these are some serious numbers. 

Pressure Washers Can Be Used to Combat Allergens

While allergy season might be nearly over for many of us, it does not take away from the fact that many of us in the UK struggle when it comes to fighting allergens. When considering ways to fight the aforementioned allergens, using a high power washer might not initially come to mind. However, if used correctly, pressure washers can be used for this purpose. 

To put it simply, the pressure washer can be used to clean around home and/or other places where allergens might have accumulated. Because the washers are so effective, they leave no stone unturned in regards to leftover pollen or other allergen. 

We Provide High Quality Cleaning Products

At Britclean, we supply a wide range of high quality cleaning products. From industrial vacuums in Stoke to pressure washers in Derbyshire, we service a wide range of products to a vast area. So, why not contact us today? 

If you are interested in or are contemplating purchasing an industrial style pressure washer, the chances are you will be weighing up the advantages and disadvantages of a one time purchase. The significant upfront cost of a one time purchase is usually the best and most liable financial option long term. However, it might not always be right for you. 

Depending on your intended purpose, an outright purchase might not be the best option for you going forward. If this is the case, you might prefer to hire a high power washer on a use by use basis. 

At Britclean, we provide a brilliant industrial pressure washer hire in Staffordshire service. So, if you are in Staffordshire or a surrounding area and require a washer but can not justify the upfront cost, you can contact us. Our team of experienced experts will be more than happy to help with making the best and most informed decision for you. 

If you are undecided as to whether buying or hiring a pressure washer might be best for you, we have decided to break down some of the biggest contributing factors. 

Your Usage 

We start with potentially the most obvious contributing factor as to whether you should hire or purchase a pressure washer. If you intend to only use the washer once, or even twice, a flat-out purchase will probably not be best for you. 

If you are only planning to use the washer once or maybe even twice after its first intended use, the washer might be unnecessarily taking up potentially valuable space. In this case, hiring might be a much better option. 

Long Term Plan

When purchasing your pressure washer, you might want to consider your long term plan. Initially, hiring might seem like the much smarter option, however, in the long term, this might change. If you require the pressure washer for a specific job for example, such as cleaning a street, you might require it again in the near future. 

We Offer Industrial Pressure Washer Hire In Staffordshire

At Britclean, we offer industrial pressure washer hire in Staffordshire and surrounding areas. We also offer many other great services in a variety of locations. These include but are not limited to, our commercial vacuum repair in Stoke-on-Trent service. 

In addition to our incredible range of vacuum cleaners, we also stock a vast number of domestic and commercial pressure washers. 

In many of our previous blogs, we have touched on how pressure washers can be used to help you and other people. In fact, our most recent blog touched on how pressure washers can be used to help you and/or your community.  The aforementioned blog briefly touched on how your washer can have surprisingly positive financial benefits. 

At Britclean, we offer many cleaning equipment services in multiple locations. These include our karcher pressure washers in Stoke-on-Trent service as well as many others. The chances are, if you require a high power washer in or around the Staffordshire area, then we can help you with your washer needs. 

With so many years of experience in the washer and vacuum industry, we have garnered significant levels of knowledge as well as interesting and surprising information. Because of this, we have decided to illustrate some of the many financial benefits of having a pressure washer. 

Helping To Increase Your Home’s Value

As mentioned in our most recent blog, if your high power washer is used effectively, it can help to increase the value of your home. You can use your washer to clean your street of mould, mildew and other potentially harmful bacteria that might have accumulated over the years. 

Once cleaned, the chances are your street will look significantly more welcoming and accommodating. This means that it will inevitably attract more potential buyers. As a direct of this, the cleaning method will help by increasing the value of your home. When the value of your home increases, this will provide a great financial benefit to you as well as your neighbours. 

Multiple Cleaning Purposes

As we have previously mentioned, high power washers have many different cleaning purposes. They can clean all manner of household and non household items. If used with the correct safety guidelines in place, you can clean your car, your home and you can even use your washer for garden maintenance. 

Effectively having a brilliant all in one cleaner means that you can save money by virtue of the fact that you do not need to invest in multiple cleaning products for different cleaning purposes. 

Saving You Time

They say time is money, and it is pretty hard to argue against this logic in such a fast paced world. Luckily, pressure washers help to save you time as well as money. One of the easiest ways your washer will help to save you time and money is by enabling for a quick and efficient cleaning process. 

Because pressure washers have high pressure and therefore projects water at an incredibly fast pace, the rate at which you can clean is extremely quick and effective. This saves you time and money as you do not need to spend time trying to clean with decidedly slower tools. 

Buying Is Not The Only Option 

When it comes to acquiring a high power washer, you might think the significant upfront cost of a one time purchase might seem a little overbearing considering your intended usage. Well luckily, buying a pressure washer is not the only option available. 

You might opt to hire a washer as this is a far more financially liable option for you. At Britclean, we offer industry leading pressure washer hire in Derbyshire, Staffordshire and many surrounding areas. If you are interested in investing in a pressure washer, whether it is for a prolonged period of time or only a short while, then you might want to consider trying our washer hire service. 

Pressure washers have many unique uses and special applications. With so many intriguing and dynamic uses, the washer has far reaching and surprising benefits. We have already touched on how pressure washers can be used to help you maintain your garden, clean your car and many other unique purposes. 

However, we have not yet touched on how pressure washers can be used to help you and/or your community. Just so we are clear on the definition of a community, we thought we should detail exactly what we mean by one. A community is a collective of people who may or may not live together but usually have similar attributes and characteristics. 

As we are a quality purveyor of industrial pressure washers from Staffordshire, we have covered the humble pressure washer and it’s benefits quite extensively. While we have touched on many of the ways you can use your pressure washer to help yourself and/or your family, we thought about time to look at ways to use the washer to help other people and, more specifically, your community. 

Branch and Object Removal 

We have recently touched on how you can use your pressure washer to remove branches in your garden or home. As you might have guessed, you can also use your washer to remove branches in your street and subsequently help your community in the process. For example, if your neighbour is having issues with an annoying overhanging branch, you can enact some expert pressure washer skills to have the branch off in no time. This will undoubtedly help your community as well as putting yourself in your neighbours favour.

You can also use the washer to remove any obstacles which might have gotten lodged or stuck amidst the branches. It could be that one of your neighbour’s son has gotten a ball stuck in a tree or something of that ilk. If this occurs, you could use your high power washer to knock it out.

However, before enacting this technique, you might want to set your washer to a lower setting than usual. This is because you do not want to potentially harm the tree. If you use a higher setting, it may snap perfectly healthy branches off, damage the core of the tree and create a problematic scenario. To ensure the health of trees on your street, ensure you are using an appropriate washer setting.

Clean Pavements 

If your community lives on a street or has any access to pavements in a near by vicinity for that matter, you might want to consider pressure washing the pavement. Pavements have the potential to accumulate harmful bacteria and germs which are increasingly harder and harder to remove.

One of the only ways to remove the harmful bacteria might be via a high power washer. Because the pavement is hard, you can usually wash on a higher setting without the worry of damaging the surface. If you do manage to use your washer to clean the pavement successfully, you will probably be the metaphorical hero of your community. 

Attracting New Residents

Following on nicely from our previous point, if you have nice and clean roads, this will inevitably attract new residents to join your community. Having clean pavements does not just look pleasing to the eye but it promotes a more homely and welcoming atmosphere. This is not to mention the fact that clean and well looked after places showcase the pride you take in preserving and looking after your community. 

The previously mentioned attributes are all features potential homebuyer’s evaluate before eventually buying a home. As previously alluded to, when more people want to live in your area, the more valuable and sought after it makes your community. In turn, this increases the value of your home.

It Can Help Save You Money 

One surprising way in which pressure washers can help your community is the fact that pressure washers can help to save you money. As previously mentioned, your home and the areas that surround it can look more welcoming and homely due to the location being recently cleaned with the washer. As such, this means it can help to increase the value of your home. 

Additionally, the pressure washer can help to save you money by the fact that it is much cheaper to clean with a pressure washer than other industrial and commercially used cleaning methods. 

The washer can also save you money due to the fact that when you clean with a pressure washer, you frequently remove mildew, mould and other harmful bacteria. This will save you money as you will not need to pay for a professional cleaning service to come in if the contamination level becomes unmanageable. 

At Britclean, we stock a huge range of pressure washers and commercial vacuum cleaners. We also have a vast array of unique services, including our popular industrial pressure washer hire in Stoke-on-Trent. So, if you require a pressure washer, be sure to contact us. 

At Britclean, we supply a wide range of high quality commercial vacuums from Staffordshire and Cheshire. They are our metaphorical bread and butter. Over our many years of experience, we have been asked a lot of questions about our industry recognised commercial vacuum cleaners and pressure washers.  

While some of the answers to previously asked questions might seem pretty straight forward and maybe even simple, others require a much more detail and/or years of prior knowledge in order to answer them effectively and appropriately. As such, we have decided to put some of our extensive knowledge to good use and answer some of your most asked questions about commercial vacuum cleaners. 

Why Is A Commercial Vacuum Better? 

Surprisingly, one of the most, if not the most commonly asked question is; why are Commercial Vacuum Cleaners better than traditionally standard vacuums. 

When answering this question, we need to evaluate what we mean by ‘better.’ When effectively assessing the ability of a cleaner; a large portion of evaluating how good the cleaner is depends on the task itself and how well the vacuum has carried it out. For example, if you are only required to hoover a small domestic space, an industry vacuum might seem a like quite the overreach or even, using the cleaner might seem redundant all together. 

Having said that, when it comes to sheer power and efficiency, the commercial vacuum is unrivalled in this regard. The cleaner usually has much higher suction power, lasts significantly longer and has better engineering standards when compared to other commonly used cleaners. 

Can You Rent An Industrial Vacuum? 

Slightly less surprising is the fact people ask if you can rent an industrial grade vacuum cleaner as opposed to buying one outright. This is largely because, for many potential buyers of the vacuum, the frequency of use does not warrant a full on purchase. If you do not want to purchase a vacuum, your next logical step might be to ask, can you hire one instead? 

In short, the answer is; yes, you can hire a commercial vacuum as supposed to buying one out right. In fact, many potential owners of commercial and industry premises believe this to be a more financially secure option. 

What Is A Good Commercial Vacuum? 

Exactly what constitutes a good commercial vacuum is, for the most part, completely open to debate. You have to consider the vacuums effectiveness in terms of how well it cleans and performs when carrying out certain tasks. Or, you may prefer to focus on how well it performs compared to it’s financial input.

Because industrial areas are usually much larger, they require a substantial amount of power and an incredible amount of suction power to be effectively cleaned. Therefore, you might be able to argue that commercial vacuums, by default, are pretty well worth while. 

Contact Us For Commercial Vacuums 

If you require a commercial vacuum in Staffordshire or surrounding areas, why not contact us. We have many years of experience in the pressure washer and commercial vacuum industry. We stock and service a wide range of vacuum cleaners. We also offer unique services including our brilliant commercial vacuum repair in Stoke-on-Trent service. 

Anyone who has used a pressure washer in a regular or semi-regular manner might have come across the issue of low power once or twice. 

To clarify, when we say low power, we do not mean the low power setting. Many people might choose to use a low power setting when using their power washer so they do not damage the item they are cleaning. 

While sometimes it is beneficial to have a low power for cleaning; if the low power is constant and automatically enforced, this can create many problems and be very frustrating. By this, we mean we are referring to the occurrences where you washer has a low pressure due to a mechanical fault. 

One of the biggest problems regarding your pressure washer losing power is there is no metaphorical one size fits all. For example, a common mistake most people used to make is assuming that if there is a loss of power, the machinery in general is at fault. However, there are multiple causes of low power in your pressure washers. 

Well each reason can vary drastically different, there is usually similar route causes. Some of the different can be attributed to the fact that there are many different models and different brands to contend with. For example, we stock many great brands and different types of washers like the industry leading Karcher washers.

As we offer high quality industry pressure washer hire from Stoke, we thought we should help by illustrating some of the potential causes of low power in your washer. 

Relief Valve Issues

The pressure relief valve is a quintessential piece of safety equipment for your washer. The valve protects both the washer operator and the washer itself from a potentially dangerous build up of condense pressure. Additionally, general issues with the relief valves can result in loss of pressure. 

Some of the potential issues can involve the valve getting stuck in motion, being partially plugged or the valve getting stuck down. While issues with the relief valve can involve just about anything, there are steps you can take to mitigate against these problems occurring. Some of the proven methods include performing regular checks on the valve as well as cleaning it regularly and thoroughly.

Worn or Degraded Nozzle  

Potentially the most common cause of lower pressure in your washer is a worn degraded nozzle. Although it is one of the most common, it also has one of the easiest fixes. If the nozzle is worn or just generally old, simply replace it. 

Dirty Inlet Discharge Valves 

At Britclean, we have frequently sung the praises of cleaning your pressure washer as and when you can. Afterall, how can you expect something to clean well if the washer is not clean itself. One of the most common culprits of loss of pressure is a dirty or foul inlet discharge valve. To ensure your washer is working to its full capacity, you should clean your valves on a regular basis to ensure there are no blockages and that the valve works effectively. 

Blocked Discharge Valve

If you want to ensure your high pressure hose is working properly and that you have sufficient water pressure, make sure to unblock your discharge valve. If the discharge valve is blocked, as you might have already guessed, your washer might start leaking. As a direct result of this, you might get low pressure. 

Restricting Inlet

If your inlet is restricted, this might be causing low pressure in your washer. Similarly, it can be said that if unwanted air is entering your pump, this could also cause your washer to have low pressure. 

At Britclean, we stock a wide of range of pressure washers. So why don’t you check out our wide range of products and be sure to keep up to date for our most recent blogs. Our blogs are  very informative and all encompassing. 

We also supply other high quality services including our commercial vacuum hires in Stoke-on-Trent. So, if you have any questions or are in need of pressure washer or vacuum services, please contact us. 

Now that summer has officially arrived: many of us will be venturing into our gardens; enjoying quality time with friends and family and just generally trying to enjoy the upturn in weather. 

With so many fun times being had, many of you might not be thinking about using your faithful high pressure washer. It must be said however, that summer is the perfect time to dust off your high power jet washer. 

We are a high quality purveyor of karcher pressure washers from Stoke-on-Trent; we know a thing or two about using your high power washer in the summertime. Although the humble jet washer is easy to use and very accessible year round, using it in the summer has some clear advantages. 

So after a potentially harsh and cold winter; let’s take a look at reasons summer is the best time to use your pressure washer. 

Better Weather and Better Drying 

During the summer months, it is largely expected temperatures will increase and there will subsequently be more sunny hours in the day. While in Staffordshire this is not always be guaranteed, there is little doubt the weather in the summer months is a lot significantly better than in the winter. 

It is hard to argue that cleaning something down in warmer weather just feels nicer. There is little need to acquire extra clothing due to being cold and therefore you are less likely to get damp. 

In addition to the nicer feeling of power washing in the pleasant weather, because the humidity is increased and because there is more sun; it also provides better drying opportunities. One of the downsides of washing in the winter is that sometimes it takes a significantly longer amount of time to dry after washing. Luckily, in the summer, this is less likely to happen as the sun and humidity dries the wetness out for you.  

This makes the experience more practical allowing you more time to clean effectively and efficiently. 

Results Will Last Longer

Following on nicely from the experience of pressure washing being more practical in the summer; is the fact that your results will last significantly longer. 

When you have washed something in the winter, within 5 minutes the area might be covered in leaves, mud or something worse. In the summer, this is far less likely to happen. The same can be said for if it were to snow and/or rain. When the temperature takes a sudden drastic change, it opens the door to smoothing your beautifully cleaned surface with splashes and marks.

In the summer, many of the problems and circumstances are virtually redundant. 

You Can Physically See The Results Better

There might be few more pleasing experiences than finishing cleaning with your jet washer, sitting back with a nice cold drink and looking at your work. When the sun is shining on a freshly cleaned surface, it usually glimmers effortlessly in the sun. 

This extremely rewarding experience is pretty much exclusive to the experience of cleaning in the summer. 

Mould Removal 

The sudden change from the cold and rainy climate of winter and spring to the warmth of summer is the perfect breeding ground for the formation of different moulds. Luckily, summertime is the perfect time to pressure wash any potential mildew away. Be it on the decking, your house or any other product you own. 

Garden Maintenance

The high power washer can also be used to help you with much of your general maintenance. We have recently covered how the pressure washer can be used to help you preserve and maintain your garden. But a few proven techniques include cleaning your decking, removing other stubborn dirt and branch removal. 

At Britclean, we offer a wide range of pressure washers and other related cleaning services. From industrial vacuum repair in Stoke to general pressure washer repairs, we will be able to help you. So why not get in touch today?
