Using one of our flat surface cleaners will enable you to clean flatwork (concrete) much faster than using a conventional wand and tip. Flat surface cleaners also outperform rotary nozzles on jobs as small as residential driveways (which means you make more money per hour using a flat surface cleaner). It is much easier to hit every square inch of the work when you use surface cleaners too, and to clean more evenly.
Whenever you consider adding any surface cleaners to your arsenal, always look for the payback time. If you are targeting $100 per hour in your business sales, for example, a $600 tool pays you back when it saves you six hours. After the six hours are saved, the surface cleaner is free and actually pays you by saving time from that day on. A surface spinner can cut the time it takes to clean over a regular wand and tip by as much as 50% and cut the time over using a rotary nozzle by about 25%.
If you clean two driveways per week and save 30 minutes each time, that surface cleaner is saving you one hour per week (or paying you back $100 per week). At that rate, it would take 6 weeks to pay for a $600 surface cleaner. After the 6 weeks (or 14 driveways) the surface cleaner is free to you. In the 7'th week, your new tool starts paying you to own it. That is the smart way to invest in tools.
When deciding what size unit to look at, consider the pressure washer you are going to drive it with. First off, it takes between 2000 - 4000 PSI to run these tools. If you run between 2 - 4 GPM, consider a 2-arm 16" through 24" model as your best choice. If you operate between 6 - 8 GPM, 21" through 30" models with 3 or 4 arms are excellent choices. Try to keep your flow rate at around 1.5 to 2 GPM per nozzle.
Surface Cleaners/Spinners can be made of composites like nylon or metals like aluminum or stainless steel. Prices vary widely according to quality and size. Most name-brand machines will give you good service for years and years, so choose one that is well-suited to your needs over the long haul.
NOTE: If you clean building interiors, a vacuuming surface cleaner is the ideal tool to use. Attach a vacuum to your vacuuming surface cleaner, and you will suck away the wash water before it can puddle on the floor or run to areas where it might damage interior finishes. If you are looking for vacuuming surface cleaners, you will find them under "Environmental Cleaning".
We offer you surface cleaners from Mosmatic, Whisper Wash, and General Pump. These are all brands we believe in. The prices vary widely, as does the durability. The lower the price, the less you should expect in durability.
Whether you prefer a surface cleaner that hovers (floats) or one with casters or one with wheels is a personal decision. All designs have worked well in the field for decades.
With all of the models and manufacturers to choose from, we recommend Mosmatic as our brand of choice. We base this on the construction of these tools - stainless bodies, Swiss-made swivel, etc.
In the end, a good surface cleaner will speed up your job and add greatly to the uniformity of the overall cleaning. It will pay for itself reasonably quickly, and give your company a professional image.
We guarantee our prices to be the lowest available! We will beat any deal on any of these surface cleaners or we'll give you $50!
"[I was] introduced to Sun Brite before it was Sun Brite. Chris Detter, Pete Marentay and Tracy were hard working pressure washing contractors like ourselves in the eairly to mid 90's. Pete had a vision and its here today as Sun Brite Supply. They have since added helpful people like Nichole and Mary to the equation. Pete has help me understand some ways to expand on our business over the years as something so simple as a deck maintenance program for my customers, which we implemented close to 8 -10 years now and it has build my residential program well.
They offer sound advice with combined years of knowledge!" Tony S, Illinois
