Hot water high-pressure washers for cleaning and disinfecting large surfaces

Intensive and meticulous cleaning with high pressure washers offers the possibility to achieve a high standard of hygiene. They can be used to reach places that are difficult to access manually, such as crevices and cracks. They are especially helpful when cleaning and disinfecting large surfaces such as ceilings, walls and floors and can effectively combat germs, bacteria and viruses.

High standards for hygiene

The use of hot water high-pressure washers speeds up cleaning by up to 40 percent compared to cold-water units, especially due to the faster drying time of the clean surfaces. In addition to better results and a faster cleaning and drying time, a measurable reduction of bacteria, germs and viruses can be achieved when using hot water high-pressure cleaners and a water temperature of at least 85°C. With the help of the steam setting it is even possible to clean at temperatures of up to 155°C.


Using cleaning agents to interrupt infection chains

When cleaning with high-pressure washers, suitable cleaning agents should also be applied with the cup foam lance to interrupt infection chains and remove all dirt residues. An advantage of cleaning foam: It is so stable that it adheres to surfaces and increases the time and cleaning effect. The subsequent rinsing with water helps to remove the dirt in a controlled manner and to prevent renewed contamination. Biodegradable cleaning agents can also support the process. A change of acidic and alkaline foam cleaning products is also necessary to reliably remove microorganisms.

After cleaning with high pressure

After meticulous cleaning with high-pressure washers, a subsequent disinfection rounds off the cleaning process (see instructions for disinfection with high-pressure washers): Soak, clean, allow to dry and finally disinfect surfaces.

To remove dirt and residual water, a wet and dry vacuum cleaner can effectively support the work of the high-pressure washer.
