Pressure Washers for Use in Gas and Service Stations
Grease and oil are two of the hardest residues to clean and remove from virtually any commercial or industrial facility. Gas and service stations face this daunting task on a daily basis. Combined with the wear associated with the traffic of hundreds or even thousands of cars in a day and all related spills and stains, the undertaking of cleaning a gas and service station can be one of the most challenging applications out there.
Gas and service stations may find that many cleaning methods and machines in the industry prove inadequate against the tough grease removal applications they face. The answer can be found within pressure washers.
What makes pressure washers so effective is their combination of high pressure levels, high flow rates, and various temperature options. With pressure levels capable of reaching 7000 psi, these machines exhibit sufficient power to blast away and eliminate even the most stubborn grease stains. Additionally, high flow rates are necessary for pressure washers used in gas stations, as higher flow rates decrease the time it takes to clean and, therefore, increase productivity.
The various temperature options are also a significant factor in the evaluation of power in pressure washers. Three temperature options are available: cold water, hot water, steam. As temperature increases, the cleaning power and the speed of the process increases. As such, cold water machines are quite ineffective for the heavy-duty grease removal applications that gas station maintenance workers will face.
Hot water pressure washers, on the other hand, can reach up to 210°F; allowing users to dissolve substances, like grease and oil, as they clean. The most powerful option available is the power of steam. Capable of reaching 330°F, steam pressure washers actually sanitize while cleaning. Additionally, the enhanced temperature dissolves away grease and other residues much more quickly than other options. To attain the benefits of all temperature options, consider tri-mode pressure washers that have the option to operate independently has cold water, hot water, or steam as needed.
Even though other machines, like steam cleaners, feature high steam temperatures, they do have the ability to eliminate grease, as is afforded by the combination of power available with pressure washers.
Despite the variety of options to choose from, the use of pressure washers is the most effective way to remove virtually all stains that can deter from the appearance of gas and service stations, including chewing gum, coffee and drink spills, gas spills, grease, oil, and other residues. In fact, pressure washers can even be used to clean the equipment and building exteriors of the gas and service station as well.
When it comes to choosing an option to clean your gas or service stations, remember that pressure washers will provide you with the ability to clean a variety of surfaces and remove even the most stubborn stains to make light of the previously intimidating task of cleaning your facility.

Steam Carpet Cleaning
The process of steam cleaning your carpet involves hot water being fed to a spray extraction tool or wand, coupled to a pump vacuum power unit. The cleaning solution is injected under pressure deep into the carpet through water jet nozzles.
The water will then penetrate the fiber all the way down to the backing. This action will loosen any embedded soil, remove oil and grease deposits, and get your carpet cleaner than it has ever been.
There are many types and makes of steam carpet cleaners available on the market, ranging from small portables to the large and very powerful truck mounted units. The principle is the same no matter what model you pick.
The models that are truck mounted are designed so that only the hose and the wand are taken into the area being cleaned. These units are very powerful, delivering hot water and generating a high vacuum recovery that can be powered by diesel fuel, gas, propane, or even by the motor of the truck.
Most carpet manufacturers, fiber producers, and professional cleaners endorse this process for achieving soil removal efficiency. With the present state of art equipment and technology, we are more than capable of high production and cleaning of carpet.
The real disadvantage to steam carpet cleaning are the problems that are associated with over wetting and longer drying times. These can be eliminated however, by a skilled operator who uses equipment that is well maintained and in good overall operating condition.
Currently, there are two methods being used with steam carpet cleaning.
1. This method involves a traffic lane cleaner being sprayed onto the traffic lanes and then agitated into the fibers. The entire area is then cleaned by using a hot water extractor that has a cleaning solution being injected into the fibers through the wand.
2.The second method involves a free rinse emulsifying pre-spray being sprayed onto the entire carpet, then agitated into the fibers.
Steam cleaning procedures
1. Prepare the equipment and supplies. In a pump or power sprayer you should mix the free rinsing pre-spray. In the solution tank of the extractor, mix the rinsing agent.
2. If you have a lot of furniture to move, make yourself a floor plan.
3. If the area being cleaned has furniture, you should remove as much as possible.
4. Thoroughly vacuum the carpet. If the pile is crushed or matted, use a pile brush to loosen the soils which will make vacuuming more effective.
5.Pre-spray a good amount of the pre-spray.
6. Using a grooming tool, agitate the pre spray deep into the fibers then let it sit for 10-15 minutes, making sure that it doesn't dry out.
7. Extract the area using a portable, truck mounted, or automatic carpet cleaner.
8.Repeat steps 5 through 7 until the entire area has been cleaned.
9. Groom the cleaned area, replace all
furniture that was removed, then clean all equipment that you used.
Is a water/steam pressure washer better than a regular pressure washer?
I recently started to wash trailers for truckers and i been using a regular pressure washer but its really difficult to take away the dirt from the trailer, is a water/steam pressure better than a regular pressure washer? would it help me remove the dirt faster? thank you
A steam cleaner is great for grease removal and will also take the paint off the trailer bodies. Most truckers will have a problem with that. If your having a problem with your regular pressure washer, try using a different detergent or a long handled, soft bristle brush. Do a good job and they'll keep coming back and recommend you. Do shoddy work and you won't work very long.
