Pressure washers and steam cleaners are two different machines that both offer distinct, powerful benefits when used as hard surface cleaners. Each machine features different benefits for a variety of cleaning applications. Steam cleaners, for instance, are used for melting away tough dirt and grime from tile and kitchens. However, pressure washers can be used for auto detailing exteriors and maintaining factory floors. Both machines, however, must be constructed of high quality materials. Choosing machines from reputable suppliers, such as Daimer®, will ensure the machine is constructed of long lasting, quality materials for consistent, effective cleaning. The following is a brief overview of advantages and uses of each machine.

Steam Cleaners

Steam cleaners are highly capable hard surface cleaners designed for the cleaning hardwood floors, tile and grout, and kitchen countertops. The steam emitted from top machines, like those in Daimer®'s KleenJet® line, has a water content of about 5 percent. These machines have lower pressure levels than pressure washers, reaching up to 150 psi, but higher temperatures up to 386°F. This is useful for melting away tough stains. When paired with an attached vacuum, dissolved residues are simultaneously extracted for the greatest efficiency.

The most beneficial features of these hard surface cleaners offered by Daimer are ATIS® anti-bacterial technology and HEPA filtration. ATIS® technology can eliminate more than 99 percent of disease causing germs and bacteria on the surface. By including a HEPA filter with each machine, germs and dirt released into the air are captured within the filter. Machines such as the KleenJet® 1000CVP include both these features.

Pressure Washers

Pressure washers are used heavily for industrial cleaning. These hard surface cleaners can effectively clean vehicle exteriors, remove grease from machinery, and eliminate stubborn stains from concrete and sidewalks. Pressure levels of these machines can reach up to 8000 psi. Many of Daimer’s pressure washers feature tri-mode capabilities, allowing for versatile cleaning. Such tri-mode, high pressure hard surface cleaners, as the Super Max™ 12860, can reach pressure levels of 3000 psi and steam temperatures of 330°F.

One of the many beneficial features of pressure washers offered by Daimer® is Daimer®’s AST® technology, found in many electric powered machines. This feature will automatically shut off the machine when there is no water output through the trigger gun for 30 seconds. The operator can turn the machine back on again by using the trigger gun.
