From garages to showrooms, for those working in the automotive industry, cleaning is a crucial element: mechanics, tire repairers, electricians, body shops and car showrooms can therefore find in professional cleaning products an effective as well as indispensable work tool.
Pressure washers, scrubber dryers, sweepers and vacuum cleaners make it possible to clean up quickly and effortlessly both work areas, where the toughest dirt accumulates during routine operations, and exhibition areas – either indoors or outdoors - where welcoming customers in a clean and tidy environment is mandatory to make a good impression.
There are therefore many possible applications of professional products dedicated to cleaning in the automotive sector, and in this article we’ll discover what they are and what benefits they may bring to those working in the sale and repair of vehicles.
Anyone working with motor-driven vehicles knows how much dirt they can produce that is as varied as tough to remove, especially when the various components are disassembled: dust, grit, mud and traces of rubber from tires; engine oil, lubricant and fuel; coolant, exhaust gases, powdered metal residues and rust. A wide range of dirt that is dangerous to operators, causing injury and pollution if not properly removed and collected.
Cleaning, however, is one of the most annoying phases for those who are normally assigned to other tasks and do not like the use of a sponge or a broom, especially if they have to reach uncomfortable areas in awkward positions.
GARAGE CLEANING
Garage cleaning is a crucial job that cannot be overlooked. Garages are not only workplaces where cars are repaired, but also places where customers are welcomed and receive advice on car maintenance. A tidy, clean and well-maintained workshop leaves a good impression on the customer.
After oil change, rags and elbow grease are not enough to clean up oily stains on the workshop floor; professional cleaning products such as pressure washers are needed.
Pressure washers are easy to maneuver and move even in the narrowest spaces, can be provided with wheels to move comfortably even for long distances, and come with a rich supply of extensions, lances, brushes, nozzles and various accessories to reach the most awkward places and effectively operate on objects and surfaces without damaging their materials.
The power of high-pressure water cleans up everything in a few minutes and without the slightest physical effort, while also saving on downtime and cleaning contractors.
Besides a wide choice of cold water models, it is more suitable to rely on hot water pressure washers to dissolve the toughest grease more quickly: these machines are provided with a boiler that heats water before releasing it under pressure.

THE PRESSURE WASHER FOR TIRE REPAIRERS
Tire repairers and personnel in charge of changing tires can also benefit by the use of the professional pressure washer in their working steps.
Let’s imagine repairing the tires of an off-road vehicle that got a puncture during a trip in the countryside: mud on the tires, rims, wheel well, mud everywhere. It only takes a few minutes and a few jets with the pressure washer and the mud disappears, so work is less unpleasant and you can easily locate the puncture.
Or, if you need to replace the worn tire on an old tractor but the bolts are encrusted with grease and rust: the power of pressurized water helps to dissolve the layer of settled dirt and remove the rim quickly and without effort.
THE PRESSURE WASHER FOR CAR BODY SHOPS
When you work on the car body, amidst putty, paints and a wide variety of powders, there's nothing better than a high-pressure water jet to clean the vehicles from the residues of the work carried out.
In addition to keeping your workspace tidier and more hygienic, cleaning with a professional pressure washer also helps to properly remove liquid waste and fine dust that can harm people and the environment.
Obviously, the only care to be taken is not to use water on the electrified parts of vehicles and work equipment.
VACUUM CLEANERS FOR CAR ELECTRICIANS
One of the precautions to be taken when using a pressure washer is not to use water on electrified parts of vehicles and work equipment.
For this reason, car electricians are recommended to use professional vacuum cleaners to quickly remove electrical wires, sheath and any other waste that may be around the vehicle during a job.
