Whether you need a simple solution for your patio or a powerful washer for commercial use, Nilfisk has options that prioritise control and efficiency.

Jet Washers

Jet washers (also known as pressure washers) are powerful cleaning machines that use a high-pressure stream of water to remove dirt, grime, moss, and debris from a wide range of outdoor surfaces. They work by forcing water through a motorised pump and nozzle at high speed, creating a concentrated jet that effectively breaks down stubborn build-up on patios, driveways, decking, vehicles, and walls.

Karcher Jet Wash

A Karcher jet wash is a trusted solution for tackling tough outdoor cleaning tasks with ease and efficiency. Known for its powerful performance and innovative design, Karcher pressure washers are ideal for cleaning patios, driveways, decking, vehicles, and garden furniture.

Selecting the Right Pressure Washer

When choosing a pressure washer, consider the following:

• Pressure Output (Bar): Higher pressure is ideal for stubborn dirt and large areas, while lower pressure suits delicate surfaces.
• Portability: Compact models are easier to store and move around. Consider this if space is a constraint or if you need to transport the washer frequently.
• Attachments: Surface cleaners, brushes, and nozzles can significantly enhance cleaning efficiency and versatility.
• Power Source: Electric washers are common for home use, while petrol-powered models offer more mobility and power for professional tasks.

 Benefits of Pressure Washers

• Faster cleaning: Cuts job time dramatically on patios, driveways, decking, and vehicles.
• Water-efficient: Uses focused pressure to shift grime without running the tap for ages.
• Deep results: Lifts stubborn dirt, algae and stains that brushes cannot reach.
• Versatile: Add a foam sprayer for cars or a patio/surface cleaner for large areas.
• Cost-effective: Regular maintenance prevents costly replacements of slabs, fencing, and timber.

Applications of Power Washers

• Vehicles: Cars, vans, motorbikes, bicycles (use lower pressure and a wider fan).
• Hard landscaping: Patios, block paving, natural stone, concrete and brick.
• Timber & composites: Fencing, garden furniture, decking (use gentle settings and keep the lance moving).
• Outdoor living: Barbecues, planters, tools, sheds and garage floors.
• Pre-paint prep: Remove loose debris and chalking from masonry before painting (allow to dry fully).

Installation Tips for Power Washer

• Before you begin: Read the manual, fit the correct nozzle, and check inlet filters.
• Water supply: Use a fully opened outdoor tap and a kink-free hose; purge air by running water through the machine before switching on.
• Test first: Start on a wide fan and low pressure; test on a small, inconspicuous area.
• Technique: Keep the lance 20–30 cm from the surface and in motion; clean in overlapping passes.
• Detergents: Apply bottom-to-top, allow dwell time, then rinse top-to-bottom.
• Patios & decks: Use a surface cleaner to prevent “tiger stripes” and speed coverage.
• Vehicles: Use a foam pre-wash, then a gentle fan jet; avoid forcing water into seals and electrics.
• After use: Release pressure, switch off, disconnect hoses, drain the pump and store frost-free; winterise with pump protector if needed.
• Safety: Wear eye protection and sturdy footwear; never spray people, pets, electricals, or fragile materials.
