a detergent to remove the grime and dirt.Cold pressure washers are easy to operate, very compact
and easy to manoeuvre.They are likely to be cheaper than the hot pressure washers because of their less complex design.
Hot Pressure Washers
Hot pressure washers work the same as the cold pressure, but the only difference is the
added advantage of heat.While tackling with greasy and oily stains, the heat softens and loosens
the oil and grease from the surface easily.Hot pressure washers are more efficient with the
added advantage of requiring less pressure and detergent.They are used for cleaning machinery, garage floors,
areas requiring sterilization and areas with oil and grease.Hot pressure washer are the most hygienic option for
cleaning.But due to its complexity the hot pressure washers are more bulkier and less portable when compared
to the cold pressure washers.Additionally, they are more expensive than the cold pressure washers.

A quick rundown of the basic principle of a pressure washer:
- Firsty, the detergent flows from a bottle to the inside of the machine through one hose.
- Next, the cold water from the faucet flows in through another hose which gets filtered on the way.
- Then, the washer is powered by an electric motor or a diesel engine.
- When the washer is powered by the motor or engine, a water pump i.e the impeller pulls in the detergent
and water which mixes them together.Most of the washers heat the water to a temperature of 50 to 70 degrees Celsius.
- Lastly,the pump ejects out the hot, soapy water through the supported, high pressure exit hose.The narrow nozzle
on these attachments aids in further increasing the pressure of the water jet.The high pressure jet cleans even
more efficiently and also helps in lowering the water wastage by almost 80 percent when compared to using an
ordinary low pressure hose pipe.
