Pressure Washing Shop Floors
A common practice in repair shops is to rely on a floor scrubber or mop and caustic chemicals to clean soiled floors. These machines will surface clean small areas and spills, but leave behind a residue, particularly with oil and lubricants. A periodic deep cleaning of your floor is needed to maintain a safe environment, prolong the life of your concrete floor and keep your shop looking it's best.
Floor Scrubber
- 10-30 gallon tanks
- Water at ambient temperature
- Low pressure
Our equipment
- 2x200 gallon tanks
- 200 degree water @ 8 gpm
- 3500 psi water pressure
The Difference is Clear
The before and after photo above shows a floor which had been washed daily with a commercial floor scrubber and a caustic NaOH solution. You can see a large smeared sheen from a recent hydraulic fluid spill which had alread been "cleaned". Two passes with our equipment and the difference is dramatic. Not only is this floor cleaner, but it provides better traction for employees as well. The dark spots remaining are just residual water left over from our cleaning process that have not yet dried. Water will pool in the pits and imperfections in the concrete and could take a couple of hours to dry completely.
Why it works
The high pressure and flow rate from our equipment removes the dirt and oil residue mixture from the surface and pores of your concrete. The 200 degree temperature of the water separates the oil from the dirt. The oil floats to the surface of the hot water and is sucked into our vacuum recovery system for treatment.
