Many people look just a pressure washer to clean materials around their home, but many don’t ever consider a hot pressure washer. There are many things you can clean when it comes to using a hot pressure washer. For one, hot water can helping make the cleaning much easier, especially if the materials are hard to get clean.


When using a pressure washer, you’re expecting to get rid of the dirt, grime, and other tough stains. If you’re using a hot pressure washer, the hot water can help loosen all of the dirt or grime quickly and properly.


Here are a few uses for a hot pressure washer:

When should you use a hot pressure Washer

Cleaning Your Vehicle

If you like to go off-roading, chances are your truck or SUV gets pretty muddy. In this instance, a cold pressure washer would be ideal for blasting the dirt off quickly. A cold pressure washer also comes in handy when you want to strip paint. If you want to clean anything on the vehicle’s interior, like the engine or another part of the vehicle, you will need to use a hot pressure washer where agitation and soap are added to remove grease.

Cleaning a Construction Site

Construction sites are hotbeds for oil and grease, so a hot pressure washer is essential for cleaning these messes, especially when cleaning construction equipment. Oil cannot be stripped off concrete using cold water because cold water does not break up the grime. As mentioned above, two additional elements included in a hot pressure washer are soap and agitation. These help to clean the surface.

Cleaning a Restaurant Kitchen

Proper food sanitation is a concern for all restaurant owners, and if you’ve ever worked in the food industry, you know how important it is to proper clean areas where food is prepared and served. A hot pressure washer is used in most instances involving food processing because of the large amount of grease buildup that happens when fryers, stoves, and burners are used.
