The Advantages of Soft Wash Pressure Washers in Industrial Cleaning Applications
Shawn Glover, VP of Sales, Nov 8, 2024
Soft wash pressure washing is a popular method for cleaning the exterior of residential buildings due to its effective cleaning capabilities that won’t damage surfaces. These powerful systems use a carefully calibrated pressure-to-flow ratio that, when combined with cleaning agents, rapidly removes surface debris and stains without forcing moisture into the surface or otherwise damaging the materials. The gentle but effective cleaning of a soft wash pressure washer is ideal for industrial applications as well.
Specially Designed to Withstand Harsh Chemicals
Cleaning agents are, by their very nature, highly corrosive. If they weren’t, they wouldn’t be able to do their job as effectively. However, this will rapidly deteriorate the seals and metal components in standard pressure washers. Soft wash systems, on the other hand, are designed specifically to withstand these harsh chemicals to ensure long-lasting performance. At Pumptec, for example, we manufacture our chemically compatible soft wash pressure washers using special materials, such as PVC and ceramic, that will not degrade from exposure to these powerful cleaning agents.
Gentle but Effective
Conventional pressure washing, which relies on high water pressure to blast dirt away, can damage roofing, siding, and other sensitive materials by forcing moisture into the surface. Soft wash pressure washers, however, don’t rely on brute force. Instead, the cleaning agents, such as bleach, algaecides, and surfactants, do the hard work. These pumps are specially calibrated to increase flow and optimize pressure to maximize droplet surface area, ensuring quick but effective results without damaging the surface.
Efficiently Sustainable
Soft wash pressure washers provide an efficient solution to industrial cleaning applications by combining optimal water flow and pressure with powerful cleaning agents. When you pair this efficiency with sustainability-focused features, such as bypass regulators, nozzles, and electric power sources, a soft wash pressure washer provides the best of both worlds. As an added benefit, electric soft wash pressure washers are much quieter than conventional gas-powered models, helping to reduce noise pollution in industrial settings.
Industrial Cleaning Applications for a Soft Wash Pressure Washer
These gentle but effective results make soft wash pressure washing ideal for residential buildings, but are also perfect for a range of industrial applications, including but not limited to:
- Removing grease and oil build-up from shop floors.
- Degreasing commercial kitchens and food processing facilities.
- Maintaining exterior storage areas.
- Gently clean solar panels to maintain optimal energy output.
- Quickly clean service trucks, trailers, and other equipment.
- Clean grease and dirt from machinery.
- Environmental remediation by removing pollutants from contaminated surfaces.
Soft wash pressure washers are highly versatile and can be used in any application that requires a thorough cleaning without damaging the surface. Soft Wash Pump Systems: 5 Features to Look For provides tips on how to find the best soft wash pressure washer for your applications.
