Eliminate Graffiti Using Mobile Pressure Washers

Graffiti is a huge challenge for contractors and maintenance crews in urban areas. Traditional methods of graffiti removal, such as using soap and a brush, chemical solvents, and repainting the surface, are costly, time consuming, and laborious. These methods may also scratch, stain, or damage walls, windows, glass panes, doors, vehicle exteriors, and other surfaces on which graffiti is commonly found. Contractors have started using mobile pressure washers to eliminate unsightly graffiti, saving hundreds of dollars in repainting costs and reducing excess water, detergent, and energy consumption.

Mobile pressure washers are easy to carry around the city as the operator washes walls, stairways, pillars, and other graffiti-prone surfaces. You can choose an electric or non-electric machine. Electric mobile pressure washers can be used both outdoors and indoors, so they are a good option for cleaning areas inside as well as outside buildings. However, they do need an electrical outlet close by. This can be provided by a generator. Operators may also use extended pressure hoses to reach applications up to 300 feet from the machine thanks to Daimer®'s Long Hose Technology. This is ideal in areas where the electric powered system must be plugged in at a distance from the application. Mobile pressure washers can be wheeled around indoor areas and transported on trailers for longer journeys. They are available in a range of prices, features, and different pressure washing capabilities.

Daimer® also retails gasoline, propane, and diesel operated pressure washers. These machines free you from the limitations of electric machines and looking for outdoor electrical outlets. Mobile pressure washers offer the high pressure levels required for removing graffiti. Though, they do generate exhaust, so they cannot be used indoors without proper ventilation.

In addition, Daimer® supplies eco-friendly graffiti removal detergents. Eco-Green® Graffiti Remover is free of bleach and other harmful chemical products. It works to remove paint, pencil, grease, and other types of graffiti without leaving toxic chemical traces on cleaned surfaces.

A Guide to Mobile Pressure Washers


Mobile pressure washers have many uses. Pressure washing machines are the most suitable for cleaning durable hard surfaces. As a result, these are often used for cleaning public places, such as parks, pavements, walkways, and compounds of public institutions. Portable machines are ideally suited for cleaning such large areas.

Kinds of Mobile Pressure Washers

There are two kinds of portable pressure washing machines. The first type has attached wheels. The operator can roll these machines from one place to another. These are ideal for places where the user requires mobility and has a large enough area to wheel around a machine.

The second type of portable pressure washer can be mounted on trucks or trailers. Most operators prefer such machines while cleaning large areas. A majority of high power mobile pressure washers from reputable suppliers can be truck or trailer mounted by simply removing the wheels.

Source of Power

Most mobile pressure washers are fuel powered rather than electric powered. The main reason for this is that electric plug points are not easily available in outdoor settings. Without the presence of a plug point at a convenient location, electric powered machines are not of much use. Fuel-powered machines, such as gasoline-, propane-, or diesel-powered machines, have no such problems.

It is always better to select high quality machines from reputed brands rather than selecting cheap and unreliable machines.
