Choosing Between Hot and Cold Karcher Pressure Washers

Hot and cold Karcher Pressure Washers from Britclean have a set of unique qualities that will make them the only cleaning solution for your workplace.
Karcher pressure washers are renowned for their exceptional cleaning power and quality which is why they are so popular in the commercial and industrial sectors.
In our latest blog, we are going to discuss the differences between hot and cold Karcher pressure washers.

The Difference Between Hot and Cold Karcher Pressure Washer

Karcher is one of the most renowned brands in floorcare, so here’s what you can expect from their range of hot and cold pressure washers:

Hot Pressure Washers
• Quick results and shorter drying times – Hot water quickly loosens and dissolves dirt, solidified oils and fats saving up to 35% of cleaning time. Cost-effective and economical, they ensure surfaces cleansed using hot water can be used sooner after.
• Germ-reduction without cleaning agents – Cleaning with hot water significantly reduces the presence of germs without using disinfectants which helps to protect the environment saving money and resources.
• Protecting Surfaces – You will achieve the same cleaning effect and protect sensitive surfaces by cleaning using a lower working pressure setting.

Cold Pressure Washers –
• Maximum mobility – Ideal for cleaning jobs where transportation is essential, cold pressure washers are compact with an ergonomic design.
• Complete Independence – Karcher petrol or diesel-powered pressure washers can be used without water or power supplies. Enabling you to directly suction water from lake or water bowsers makes them ideal for use in agriculture, construction or the public sector.

Dust and debris are the bi-products of most industrial working areas and can cause irritations to workers eyes, noses and lung problems.
To prevent dust and contaminants being expelled from the exhaust air the majority of models are equipped with high-efficiency filters.

The most common types are HEPA-certified which removes 99.97% of particles larger than 0.3 microns in size. Industrial vacuums used on job sites may use filters with a PTFE (Teflon) non-stick surface to handle sticky waste materials.
Materials captured are collected and stored in a safe way that protects workers and allows for safe disposal.

If you or one of your co-workers have been assigned the job of using the industrial vacuum on the shop floor it’s essential to check you have the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to undertake the task safely.

Essential Questions About Industrial Pressure Washer Hire in Derbyshire

Industrial pressure washer hire in Derbyshire from Britclean will give you a cleaning product that will deal with the toughest surfaces.

From cleaning mud from your patio, dried on-dirt from your car or grease from a barbeque; using a pressure washer is a great time saver.
If you’ve never used a pressure washer before we are going to answer some frequently answer questions we often get asked.

How do Industrial Pressure Washers Work?

Pressure washers work by delivering a robust, concentrated stream of water which removes more dirt, quicker than a scrubbing brush.
If you regularly host garden parties hiring an industrial pressure washer is a must for all areas of your garden and outdoor living space.

What Type of Pressure Washer Do I Need?

The amount of pressure the model can deliver is a key consideration, as the more pressure you’ve got, the more power you can blast directly at the dirt.
The pressure of every washer is measured in bars with a maximum of 120 bars of pressure ideal for patios, fences and dirty cars. If you require heavy-duty cleaning, we would recommend using a pressure washer with above 120 bars.

Britclean has the widest range of industrial pressure washers including well-known brands such as Karcher, Nilfisk, Ehrle and our own home brand.

Lances and Nozzles

The majority of pressure washers come with one lance, a long tube with a nozzle at the end. Some machines come with a variable pressure lance that allows you to twist the nozzle at the end that alters the spray (much the same as a hosepipe).

The Rise of Cordless Models

Cordless models are becoming increasingly popular. They tend to run on battery power, have lower maximum pressure and feature an internal water tank.
These sort of washers are best suited to smaller jobs such as gardens or cleaning small areas.

Your Guide to Using Industrial Pressure Washers Safely

Before using industrial pressure washers for the first time it’s important to know how to use the equipment properly and safely.
Different kinds of pressure washers work best for a variety of tasks so speaking to industry experts like Britclean will help you make an informed decision.

All users should fully understand the manufacturer’s instructions before using and ensure hoses are connected securely.

Safety Suggestions for Industrial Pressure Washers

Here are some essential safety tips to keep you safe when using pressure washers –

• Do not place your fingers near the outlet at any time as the pressure can be extremely dangerous
• Once you’ve chosen the correct tip to use test it out on an inconspicuous area to determine the best distance from the surface for cleaning
• Avoid ladders and working at height as the kickback can easily cause you to lose your balance and fall
• Be aware of your surroundings making sure you check for potential hazard before starting to use the pressure washer. This could include pets, children and other obstacles such as slippery and uneven surfaces
• Water is a conductor of electricity so never spray an electrical outlet as this will give you an electric shock
• Wear protective equipment to protect from the flying debris and the high-pressure spray. We would recommend using boots, gloves, waterproof trousers, safety glasses and hearing protection

• Now move the high-pressure jet back and forth over the surface to loosen dirt
• Whilst cleaning make sure all connectors are tight and there are no leaks
