Deciding Which Hard Surface Cleaners are Best for You

Selecting quality hard surface cleaners can be tricky. Each machine has different specifications and features ideal for different cleaning tasks. With a wide variety of machines available on the market today, it is important to understand which machine is best suited for cleaning hard surfaces.

Which Machine to Choose

The most commonly recommended hard surface cleaners for the cleaning industry are steam cleaners and pressure washers. Steam cleaners use high temperature output and moderate pressure levels to clean, while pressure washers use high pressure levels and average to high temperature levels to clean hard surfaces and remove challenging deposits. Each of these machines has their own advantages. The following is a brief summary of both pressure washers and steam cleaners.

Steam Cleaners

The main strength of steam cleaners as hard surface cleaners involves the high temperature output, which can range up to 386°F. However, it is important to make sure the surface being cleaned can withstand such high temperature levels. In addition, steam cleaners are not suitable for cleaning large stretches of carpets, but are capable of spot cleaning small carpeted areas.

Pressure Washers

Pressure washers rely on their output pressure for cleaning. As hard surface cleaners, these machines can blast away dirt and impurities. The output pressure of these machines can vary up to 8000 psi. Such high pressure levels are generally used for heavy duty industrial degreasing. For commercial cleaning jobs, machines with a pressure level of 3000 psi or less are adequate.

Whether you select steam cleaners or pressure washers, it is important to select the right brand. Daimer®, a major supplier of cleaning machines, offers many models of hard surface cleaners. For more details, visit www.daimer.com.

XTreme Power® HSC 14500

The XTreme Power® HSC 14500 is a distinctive and powerful combination heated hard surface cleaner. As a combination machine, the HSC 14500 is unmatched by other competing floor cleaners in the industry. It brings together Daimer’s exclusive, patented 19” motorized spinner, the Super Max® 9000 tri-function mobile pressure washer and the XTreme Power® 11500SE sludge extractor into one of the most versatile and robust floor cleaners available.

The motorized spinner is capable of reaching 1000 rpm while firing water at hard surfaces at a flow rate of 2.8 GPM. Other floor cleaners with similar capabilities lose a great deal of pressure when the water leaves the system; but the HSC 14500 contains water underneath the spinner to achieve a true pressure of 1500 psi.

While other floor cleaners are meant for one purpose, cleaning floors, the XTreme Power® HSC 14500 is highly unique. It can be used to remove grease, dirt, oil and other substances from virtually all hard outdoor surfaces, like: concrete, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots and more. But the HSC 14500 can do more than standard floor cleaners.

With the optional squeegee wand, the HSC 14500 can act as a highly effective wall cleaning system. With the optional 9” motorized spinner, the HSC 14500 can reach smaller areas that other floor cleaners miss. And, both the Super Max® 9000 and the XTreme Power® 11500SE can be used independently for pressure washing and sludge extraction/water damage restoration, respectively.

Many floor cleaners in the industry provide little versatility. They simply clean floors. But the XTreme Power® 14500 can clean the most challenging surfaces in a variety of applications with its variable use options, making it the ideal machine among floor cleaners available.
