Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic information about cleaning. 5. 1. 1 Soaking Incrusted or thick layers of dirt can be loosened or softened up by a period of soaking. This is for example an ideal method within agriculture ­ for example, within pig sties. The ideal soaking method can be achieved via use of foam or simple alcaline detergent. Let the product lie on the dirty surfaces for around 30 minutes before pressure washing. The result will be a much quicker high-pressure cleaning process. 5. 1. 2 Detergent and foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent react several minutes before cleaning off. 5. 1. 3 Temperature Detergents are more effective at higher temperatures. Greases, oils and fats can be broken down more easily at higher temperatures also. Proteins can be cleaned at temperatures of around 60°C. Oils, pollution and grease can be cleaned between 70° and 90°C. 5. 1. 4 Mechanical effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt. traffic film. 5. 1. 5 High water flow or high pressure High pressure is not always the best solution and high pressure may damage surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water flow. Pressure levels of around 100 bar may be sufficient for vehicle cleaning (in association with hot water). Higher flow levels give the possibility to rinse and flush away large amounts of dirt easily. 10 Some typical cleaning tasks 5. 2. 1 Agriculture Task Stables Pig Pens, sties Cleaning of walls, floors and equipment Disinfection Accessories Foam Injector Foam lance Powerspeed lance Floor Cleaner Powerlift lance Detergents Universal Alkafoam Disinfectant DES 3000 Machinery Tractors, ploughs etc. Standard lance Detergent injector Powerspeed lance Curved lance and underchassis washer Brushes Method 1.
