How to Choose Pressure Washers for Indoor Cleaning

A perplexing number of pressure washers is available on the internet, with many companies advertising makes and models suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. New customers are often overwhelmed and with all the features and options available and do not know what to look for when purchasing a pressure washer.

Are All Machines Suitable for Indoor Cleaning?

Not all machines are suitable for indoor cleaning. While many pressure washers can be used for indoor cleaning, electric machines are more suitable for this task. They are the best choice for two reasons:

First, electric machines do not emit any unpleasant exhaust fumes into the air as fuel-powered machines do. Fuel-powered machines run on combustion engines, which invariably emit byproducts of combustion. Such byproducts tend to increase the humidity of the room, as well as leave an unpleasant odor. Fuel-powered systems can be used in doors if placed in an exhaust friendly location or even outside while the operator uses long hoses to reach the given application.

Second, electric machines make less noise than fuel-powered machines. In outdoor settings, noise does not cause much of a problem, as it merges with the ambient noise of the surroundings. This, however, is not the case with an indoor environment.

Another advantage of electric pressure washers is the abundance of an endless power supply. It is relatively easy to find electric outlets indoors. While this can present an issue when operating the electric powered system outdoors, it is almost never a problem indoors.

Things to Check

Before choosing your machine, be sure to check its pressure level, output temperature range, and flow rate. Most importantly, check the quality of the brand name. Daimer®, a reputable manufacturer of cleaning products, offers high quality electric pressure washers. Fuel pressure cleaners with long hose technology are also available for indoor use. With these systems, operators place the machine in an exhaust friendly location, use hoses up to 300 feet in length to reach the application, and do not experience any loss in pressure or cleaning power. 

Commercial Applications of Pressure Washers

Daimer® retails pressure washers for commercial and industrial use. Pressure washers are highly sought after machines as they can remove the hard work of cleaning and make the process more productive and less time consuming.

Daimer®’s commercial pressure washers have numerous uses. Contractors prefer industrial grade machines for cleaning public areas, roads, driveways, subways, walls, windows, gates, grills, and concrete surfaces. Businesses such as restaurants, malls, retail stores, apartment and office complexes, amusement parks, airports, and car rental companies prefer to invest in a pressure washer rather than hire a contractor every time they need to clean the premises or vehicle fleet. This is clearly less costly than renting pressure washers, as rental fees can add up to more than the cost of an actual purchase over time.
