Steam cleaning offers a great advantage over pressure washing when it comes to removing grease and oil. Pressure may leave some oily residue. Pressure washing may leave some oily residue, even if you use a pressure washer with hot water. But if your pressure washer is able to withstand temperatures high enough to produce steam, it will completely eliminate all oil residue. The pressure washer has a longer range than a steam cleaner, which means you can extend it to the most neglected areas above your head.
Don't worry about pressure levels. The different nozzles indicate to the operator the level of pressure that the machine will apply to the surface to avoid any damage. This information is important when it comes to commercial vehicle cleaning equipment. Both a steam cleaner and a pressure washer use powerful jets or pressure washes to remove dirt, but each one is best suited for specific jobs.
It's also more cost-effective than pressure washing because it uses much less water to get the job done. Because steam pressure washers use less water and the hot water they contain evaporates at a much higher rate, you'll see that there's approximately 55 percent less runoff compared to a standard pressure washer. The extreme temperature combined with pressurized steam breaks the bond between the rubber and the surface and drags it away. For areas such as workshop floors and car garages, factories, shopping mall floors and car parks, building exteriors, or for cleaning heavy agricultural or construction equipment, pressure washing with a pressure washer is best.
In the case of professional pressure washers, reducing runoff with steam cleaning means less waste. The decision to choose pressure or steam cleaning isn't difficult, as long as you understand the difference between the two. Pressure washing with steam produces less pressure on the surfaces you're cleaning, significantly reducing the chance of damage. This depends on many important factors, such as the size and type of roof, ease of access, dirt on the roof, and the size of the pressure washer used. A steam cleaner is perfect for pressure washing small areas, surfaces where you need to make sure everything is impeccably clean and completely hygienic, a surface that needs to dry quickly or when you can be more environmentally friendly and use heat instead of chemicals.
While pressure washers are the way to clean pretty much anything, there are some pressure washing projects that require a little more heat to operate. Using a steam pressure washer helps break down fat, so you can completely clean the trap without all the grease from your elbows. Even with a hot water pressure washer, you'll splatter any oily residue you remove and much more water will drain out. This creates steam, which the cleaner then fires at a very high pressure on the surface you want to clean.
