Dust vacuum cleaner and ash vacuum cleaner: all the differences

Never use a dust vacuum cleaner to clean a fireplace or stove: find out all the differences with an ash vacuum cleaner

DUST VACUUM CLEANER AND ASH VACUUM CLEANER: ALL THE DIFFERENCES

Fireplaces and stoves, a lot of heat in the house but also a lot of ash to remove. To do this quickly, all you need is an ash vacuum cleaner, but don't confuse it with a common <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/aspiratori" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">vacuum cleaner</a>: let's find out all the differences.

It's very easy to confuse a common vacuum cleaner with an ash vacuum cleaner: two machines created for a rather similar purpose and very similar in operation, but using the former to clean up ashes produced by fireplaces, pellet stoves or barbecues can cause serious and irreparable damage. This is why it is necessary to use an ash vacuum cleaner and use the dust vacuum cleaner only for common household cleaning.
Let's find out its specific features, uses and different applications so we know which tool to buy for our purpose.
<h2>THE VACUUM CLEANER: OPERATION AND USES</h2>
A vacuum cleaner is used to clean homes, furniture, floors and workspaces of dust, debris and liquids quickly and effectively.
Vacuum cleaners are mainly divided according to the type of waste to be vacuumed and the surface to be cleaned. There are, therefore, dust vacuum cleaners, wet vacuum cleaners, fitted-carpet washers, and - precisely – ash vacuum cleaners.

The traditional household vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning dust and crumbs from floors. A professional vacuum cleaner, on the other hand, is a machine capable of removing dirt and coarse debris from floors and surfaces, vacuuming up toxic and harmful particulate matter; a professional vacuum cleaner can be used in any sector such as supermarkets, schools, hospitals, gyms, hotels, cafés and restaurants, offices, garages, construction sites and industrial plants.

Wet vacuum cleaners, on the other hand, are capable of sucking up not only dry residues but also liquid materials in varying quantities depending on the capacity of the drum. Finally, the vacuum cleaners equipped with the fitted-carpet washing function work with a suction power that does not leave fabrics wet after cleaning. Fitted-carpet washing vacuum cleaners can be considered multifunctional because they can suck up dust and liquids like standard vacuum cleaners, but their main function is to wash fabrics, carpets and upholstered furniture by injecting/extracting a solution of water and detergent.

{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
Whatever type it is, a vacuum cleaner works thanks to one or more turbine motors which create an air vacuum to suck up, through a flexible hose, dust, liquids and other particles of various materials, and then convey them inside a closed container.
The main components of a vacuum cleaner are generally divided into four groups, with specific characteristics for wet vacuum machines:
<ul>
<li> Head: composed of one or more electric motors to power turbines which rotate to create the vacuum effect necessary to suck up the material into a container.</li>
</ul>
The wet vacuum cleaner, in addition to the head, is equipped with a system that, by means of probes and floats, blocks the suction in case of "overflow".&nbsp;
<ul>
<li> Filtering system: composed of a system of filters of various types - bag, woven, cartridge or HEPA - which separate dry dust from the air; this is the component by means of which dry dust is separated from the air, retaining the former to return clean air into the environment.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Collection container: made of plastic or steel, it represents the casing where the material sucked by the machine is collected, when the collection bag is not used.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Suction hose and accessories: the suction hose may have different lengths, it is connected at one end to the collection container and operated by an operator to collect dust and dirt from floors and surfaces. At the opposite end, it is equipped with nozzles and accessories of various types, depending on the material to be removed and the surface. </li>
</ul>
&nbsp;When the vacuum cleaner is switched on, the motor rotates the turbine which creates a vacuum inside the container: the operator handles the suction hose, bringing the nozzle closer to what has to be removed. The vacuum effect sucks anything inside the hose and holds it in the special container, which will then be emptied to properly dispose of the dust, liquids and waste collected.
Finally, to facilitate movement, the main body of the machine may be supported by solid or swivel wheels.
<h2>THE ASH VACUUM CLEANER: WHY USE IT</h2>
<img src="https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/Aspiracenere%20con%20camino%20COMET-1.jpg" alt="Aspiracenere con camino COMET-1" width="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
Unlike classic extractors, the ash vacuum cleaners are equipped with special filters which, in addition to protecting the internal parts of the machine from dangerous clogging, completely retain the ash - which is much finer than standard dust - and prevent it from escaping. They are also equipped with a flexible steel or plastic-coated steel hose and with a steel tank in compliance with the relevant regulations and suitable for allowing and accommodating the passage of ashes.
Wood-burning fireplaces and pellet stoves produce a lot of dirt and, in order to ensure correct operation, they require continuous cleaning during standard use and extraordinary maintenance operations at the beginning and at the end of the season. The chamber of the brazier must always be cleaned of ashes so that dust does not spread out as well as bad smells in the room.

The traditional cleaning tools, such as the broom and the dustpan, are uncomfortable to use and not very effective. The best solution is to equip yourself with an ash vacuum cleaner which, with a few passes and without any effort, removes everything without raising dust, risking getting even dirtier.

At least two or three times a week, the ashes that accumulate in the pellet stove must also be removed, to keep it efficient and safe. Even more so than for the fireplace, the ash vacuum cleaner is effective and convenient compared to traditional tools, as it has to intervene in small spaces and on the various parts that make it up.
Unlike brooms and dustpans, moreover, by using an ash vacuum cleaner, the cleaning operations can also be carried out on vertical surfaces, such as the walls of the combustion chamber, without causing falls and dispersions of material, thus avoiding double work.

Cleaning your fireplace and stove with an ash vacuum cleaner

If you use a fireplace or a pellet stove, an ash vacuum cleaner is an essential tool for cleaning and maintenance.

CLEANING YOUR FIREPLACE AND STOVE WITH AN ASH VACUUM CLEANER

When the cold season is approaching, we start to think about heating the house which, in some cases, can be done through fireplaces or pellet stoves. However, these systems generate ash and dirt, which must be properly removed. This is why we start to think about using an ash vacuum cleaner to clean the house.

In the workplace, <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/vacuum-cleaners" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">vacuum cleaners</a> are very useful for removing dust or small solid waste, while a wet vacuum cleaner is the quickest and most effective way to clean liquids from floors and surfaces. Similarly, an ash vacuum cleaner becomes indispensable if we have a fireplace or stove in our house.

<h3>HOW TO KEEP YOUR FIREPLACE CLEAN WITH AN ASH VACUUM CLEANER</h3>
Central heating systems, radiators, fan coils or underfloor heating are, of course, much more modern and effective heating systems; but, without any doubt, the fire of the fireplace is more romantic and fascinating than any other architectural element.
It brings to mind the warmth of a family reunited or moments of tenderness in a couple that a radiator can never grant. On the embers of the fireplace or with its flame, moreover, you can cook and not give up, even in winter, cheerful and tasty barbecues with friends. The spread of modern heating fireplaces, finally, has contributed in recent years to a rediscovery of what is considered by someone an obsolete method of heating interiors.
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
It is however undeniable that a wood-burning fireplace produces much more dirt and, in order to guarantee correct operation, requires continuous cleaning during normal winter use and extraordinary maintenance operations at the beginning and at the end of the season. The brazier chamber must always be cleaned of ashes, so that dust does not disperse and spread bad smells in the room. The flue and chimney should also always be kept free of dirt and capable of providing an excellent draught of smoke, so as not to run into blockages and dangerous accidents.

The most traditional and simple cleaning tools are the broom and the dustpan, uncomfortable to use and of limited effectiveness. This is why laziness pushes us not to remove, as we should, ashes from the fireplace every time we burn wood. The best solution is to have an ash vacuum cleaner which, without any effort, removes everything without raising dust in the air and, consequently, making it even dirtier.
<h3><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/floor-care/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;" target="_blank">DISCOVER COMET </a>FLOOR CARE</h3>
Unlike the classic vacuum cleaner, the ash vacuum cleaner is equipped with a flexible metal hose that makes it suitable and compliant with regulations and with special filters that, in addition to protecting the internal parts of the machine from dangerous clogging, completely retain the ash - much finer than normal dust - and prevent it from escaping together with the air released after filtering. Correct maintenance and cleaning of the filters using the special shaker supplied with some models of ash vacuum cleaners, or by shaking or blowing them with a compressor, or even washing them in the case of washable cartridge filters (taking care to let them dry for at least 24 hours before reassembling them), allow the ash vacuum cleaner to have excellent performance and extend its life.

The ash vacuum cleaner is also very convenient for removing ashes from the walls of the combustion chamber and, in the case of heating fireplaces, from the protective glass. Unlike brooms and dustpans, in fact, the cleaning operations can also be carried out on vertical surfaces without causing falls and dispersion of material, thus avoiding double work. Furthermore, special accessories facilitate cleaning between the gaps that form, for example, between wall bricks or in corners that are difficult to reach.

<h2>SOME TIPS FOR CLEANING YOUR FIREPLACE</h2>
The best ash vacuum cleaners on the market are made of durable materials but, obviously, you can't use these machines to remove burning, glowing debris or even just not-quite-cold ash that may be hiding live embers inside.
If pieces of wood or coarse carbon are left over from combustion, they must be removed with pliers and thrown away manually. This is an essential precaution to prevent the ash vacuum nozzle from being clogged by debris of medium size, thus jeopardizing proper cleaning.
At this point, you can turn on your ash vacuum cleaner and clean the walls and base of the fireplace in no time at all, without damaging and struggling to brush the surfaces, or loading and unloading dozens of dustpans and risking dropping dirt on the ground, reaching the furthest corners without problems thanks to special extensions.

<h3>CLEANING YOUR STOVE WITH AN ASH VACUUM CLEANER</h3>
<img src="https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/Aspiracenere.jpg" alt="Aspiracenere" width="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
As with a fireplace, using a pellet stove involves assiduous cleaning and maintenance. The ashes that accumulate must be removed periodically to keep the stove efficient and safe. Even more so than for the fireplace, the ash vacuum cleaner is effective and convenient compared to traditional tools, as it has to operate in small spaces and on the various parts that make up a stove.
The use of an ash vacuum cleaner makes it possible to thoroughly clean the brazier, the ash tray and the pellet drop channel, as well as semi-hidden edges and corners inside the combustion chamber.
Less frequently, on the other hand, the ash duct and the flue need to be cleaned, for which, however, it is essential to rely on a qualified technician who complies with the regulations.
<h3>YOUR ASH VACUUM CLEANER IN THE SUMMER PERIOD</h3>
The use of an ash vacuum cleaner is not only limited to the winter period, but can also be used frequently in spring and summer to clean up barbecues, both portable and masonry, after a barbecue with friends.
Some ash vacuum cleaners also have a blower function, which allows the opposite effect of reviving embers or helping fire to ignite.

Cleaning outdoor spaces in winter: all the useful tools

Let’s find out which tools are the most effective ones for winter cleaning of outdoor spaces in homes and businesses.

CLEANING OUTDOOR SPACES IN WINTER: ALL THE USEFUL TOOLS

The cold season produces and accumulates more dirt in the open spaces of our homes or workplaces.

To easily maintain a good level of cleanliness in winter, however, just rely on the right tools: let’s find out what they are.
In this article we are going to learn how and where to use <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/pressure-washers/cold-water" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pressure washers</a>, sweepers and other specific cleaning tools to perform effective winter maintenance of outdoor spaces.
<h2>THE DRAWBACKS IN WINTER</h2>
The weather elements characterizing winter are, unfortunately, carriers of dirt and litter that make the outdoor spaces of our homes unclean.
The wind carries leaves that fall abundantly from the trees and accumulates them, along with wastepaper and other urban waste, in the corners of forecourts, gardens, balconies and courtyards.
Rain, mixing with dust and smog, deposits layers and layers of dirt on all vertical and horizontal surfaces: windows, glazing, roofs, canopies, facades, flooring, outdoor furniture and furnishings.
Added to this is the formation of mud due to the action of water on topsoil, which is even worse when storms or snowfall scatter these materials everywhere. In colder areas, then, the use of salt to prevent icing leaves marks on the ground that stain and, if not removed, can also corrode floors.
Moisture also often causes mold and moss to form in shaded areas, around pots and planters, or on fences, untreated wooden floors and objects.
Added to these factors is an extra one, namely laziness: if, in fact, <a href="/cleaning-en/spring-cleaning-easier-convenient-fast-pressure-washer" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">spring temperatures entice us more to work outdoors</a>, the harsh winter makes us more reluctant to tinker outside, in contact with water and dirt.

<h2>PRESSURE WASHER: CLEANING EASILY AND QUICKLY EVEN IN WINTER</h2>
In fact, the traditional method for cleaning outdoor spaces involves the use of the classic water hose combined with brooms and dustpans. During months characterized by plenty of rain and moisture, however, there is little point in adding more liquid; instead, it is good to understand that it is the water pressure that produces the real cleaning power, which is why the primary tool for cleaning outdoor spaces in winter is the pressure washer.

{{cta('d44289e9-72e2-4974-ba77-38dc6bd8f870')}}
A <a href="/cleaning-en/household-pressure-washer-indispensable-cleaning-aid" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener" target="_blank">home pressure washer</a>, in fact, emits a pressurized jet of water at hundreds of bars, capable of effortlessly cleaning flat and vertical surfaces, saving water and time and preventing any damage caused by trowels and scrapers.
The force of water is able to detach the layers of dirt deposited by the bad weather and helps move fallen leaves and trash to the ground for later removal, thus greatly reducing the effort and time of manual operations, as well as avoiding the risk of damaging floors and surfaces by trying to remove stains and marks with abrasive tools.
Powerful but controlled, the high water pressure is endured without any problems even by glass frames, allowing the quick and easy cleaning of windows as well. Greater caution, however, should be observed when treating wooden windows and doors.
The use of a pressure washer also results in water savings of 70 percent&nbsp;compared to traditional water hose washing, coupled with lower environmental costs achieved by doing without detergents and polluting chemicals.

<h2>THE RIGHT ACCESSORIES FOR BETTER CLEANING</h2>
In addition to the different applicable nozzles - each capable of diversifying the jet for special purposes - the pressure washer can be equipped with various accessories that make cleaning even more convenient.
Lances and extensions&nbsp;help to reach the most distant or awkward spots; special brushes, fixed or rotating, make it easy to clean floors, doors, windows, blinds and shutters; special models, finally, allow the application of detergents to remove tough dirt such as mold, moss or residues of lubricant and other materials that may leak from vehicles.
For those, then, who are lucky enough to have a pool at home, the pressure washer is ideal for performing winter maintenance tasks during the period when the pool is being drained. Pressurized water is very effective in removing all the dirt that a swimming pool can accumulate: lime scale, mold, bacteria, fungi, algae, bird droppings or residue from sunscreen creams and oils.

<h2>CLEANING WITH THE FLOOR SWEEPER IN WINTER</h2>
For cleaning larger outdoor spaces, such as corporate yards and parking lots, the best tool for “fighting” against winter dirt is undoubtedly the floor sweeper.
Fast, efficient, and easy to use, floor sweepers are the ideal tool for cleaning up on the ground in no time and with no effort on the part of the operator - an unthinkable result if you want to clean hundreds of square meters with a broom and dustpan. These machines are capable of&nbsp;removing dust, soil and coarse debris&nbsp;in any condition and&nbsp;on a&nbsp;variety of materials: concrete, asphalt, resilient materials or plastics.

In just one go, the sweeper picks and sucks up whatever it finds in its path, leaving the floor completely clean and being especially effective on drier ground free of excessive mud.
<h2>CLEARING ROOFS AND GUTTERS WITH A PRESSURE WASHER</h2>
Rain, snow and wind leave traces of their passage particularly <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/cleaning-roof-and-gutters/" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">on the roofs, in the drains and along the gutters of houses and buildings</a>. If regular maintenance is not done, foliage, topsoil and guano form obstructions not allowing water to drain properly.
Thus, during heavy storms, unwanted spills may occur from horizontal gutters, but the accumulation of water will, in the long run, corrode the downspouts causing holes and leaks.
Pressure washers are also useful and effective here, as they can be used in conjunction with a <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products-category/pipe-flushing-probes/" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">pipe-flushing probe</a>. These are probes of different lengths, consisting of a steel head with a rounded shape, which use back jets to move forward inside the pipe, thanks to the water pressure, and to remove the cause of the obstruction.

There are, in fact, pressure washers with <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/high-pressure-washer/#endothermicengine" rel=" noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">endothermic engine</a><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/high-pressure-washer/#endothermicengine" rel=" noopener">, or internal combustion engine, and electric pressure washers.</a>

The difference, it goes without saying, lies in the driving force and its power supply. The endothermic engine is based on a combustion chamber, fuelled by petrol or diesel. The electric motor, on the other hand, needs to be connected to a power source using power cables: a traditional 220 Volt plug, or 380 Volt in the case of industrial installations.
But what are the main differences between the two types and which pressure washer should be purchased?
In general terms, the pressure washers with internal combustion engine are more for professional use, while the electric ones range from professional to domestic use, mainly due to the lower weight and size of some models.
<h2> ELECTRIC VS ENDOTHERMAL: PRO AND CONS</h2>
<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/high-pressure-washer/#endothermicengine" rel=" noopener"><img src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/5415755/BLOG_IDROPULITRICI/Blog_idropulitrici_VARIE/elettrico%20endotermicoEN.png" alt="elettrico endotermicoEN" width="889" style="width: 889px;"></a>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>PRESSURE WASHERS WITH ENDOTHERMIC ENGINE</h2>
Generally speaking, the weight of a combustion engine is at least 10 kilograms, a factor that has important consequences for the entire machinery, starting with its rougher and less compact look. A typical pressure washer with internal combustion engine is equipped with a very strong metal frame, capable of absorbing well the vibrations produced by the engine. In order to move such a heavy machinery more easily, two or four wheels with tires, mounted at the base of the frame, are essential.
There are, however, also pressure washers with endothermic engine of smaller dimensions and very handy as the <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products-category/fdx-blade-xl/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">FDX BLADE XL</a>.
In the case of hot water pressure washers, another important component is the boiler, capable of heating the water to remove grease and encrusted dirt. The <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products-category/fdx-hot-cube/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">FDX HOT CUBE X-Special Hot Water Comet</a>, however, has a vertical boiler with double spiral coil and can be directly connected to a water source.
The first advantage of an endothermic pressure washer is, of course, the possibility to use it without any constraint of movement, not being connected with cable to any socket. It is ideal for cleaning very large surfaces such as yards and parking lots, for construction sites, or in any location where electricity is not available, such as motocross or off-road tracks.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
It is also usually more powerful than an electrically-powered pressure washer and can produce higher pressure and water flow (the <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products-category/fdx-xtreme-xl/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">FDX Xtreme XL Comet</a>, for example, reaches 500 bar), which is why it is used for more demanding jobs, such as removing graffiti, cleaning drains and sewers, or is used on industrial sites and farms, i.e. environments where shocks are more frequent and sturdy equipment made from strong and durable materials is required.
It should be borne in mind that the combustion that fuels the engine inevitably produces exhaust gases, just as a car or motorcycle does: for this reason a pressure washer with an endothermic engine cannot be used indoor.
Obviously the price of a pressure washer with internal combustion engine tends to be higher than an electric one, easier for a company’s budget than that of a family.
<h2> PRESSURE WASHERS WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR</h2>
The main advantage of a pressure washer powered by an electric motor is, without doubt, practicality of use. The engine is small in size, and there is no need for a combustion chamber, petrol or diesel tank and flue gas ducts. An electric pressure washer can also be small in size, protected by plastic casings, lightweight and equipped with small wheels for easy movement. It is ideal for home cleaning and sanitization, for washing the outside of doors and windows, for removing dust and dirt from the garden, outdoor furniture and for semi-professional use.
The discomfort of the power cord can be overcome with the use of extensions but it is more suitable for short-range operations that do not require special travel, or for washing the car, motorcycle, scooter or bicycle in the backyard.

For a family or small business it may be cheaper to purchase a pressure washer with an electric motor, given its lower price compared to endothermic models, and the excellent price-performance ratio.
As far as professional uses are concerned, on the other hand, the latest-generation electric models boast performances which are in no way inferior to endothermic ones.

<h2> ELECTRIC OR ENDOTHERMIC?</h2>
The choice between electric and endothermic for professional use is closely linked to the type of supply available. Pressure washers with internal combustion engine are the ideal solution when there is no electrical connection in the working area or where it does not reach the adequate power, in any activity where a completely autonomous and easily transportable pressure washer is required.
<img src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/5415755/BLOG_IDROPULITRICI/Blog_idropulitrici_VARIE/elettrico_endotermico%20EXHAUSTED%20FUME%20CONVEYOR.jpg" alt="EXHAUSTED FUME CONVEYOR" width="300" style="width: 300px; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;">Electric pressure washers, on the other hand, if equipped with an exhausted flue gas conveyor, can also be used inside industrial sheds, such as food industries, indoor car washes, etc., and are also less noisy. 
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>PRESSURE WASHER WITH ENDOTHERMIC ENGINE: SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS</h2>
If you have opted for an the endothermic engine, consider these indications to have more performance and avoid failures and inconveniences :
<ul>
<li>If your pressure washer has not been used for several months, make sure there is no petrol left inside, because the season and temperature changes may deteriorate the fuel and produce deposits that can damage the engine.</li>
<li>If you plan to store your pressure washer for some time, empty the tank and keep the fuel in a jerry can, however, no longer than 4 months.</li>
<li>If you cannot empty the fuel tank, add some stabilizer fluid before storing the pressure washer.</li>
</ul>
In case the pressure washer has not been used for a long period, we recommend using new fuel. {{cta('10a7a2c6-63e9-4a98-b5b6-36c939ef5e39')}}

the pressure washer in the building industry: water to clean and work on sites

In addition to cleaning, high pressure water is a very useful tool for construction sites: here are all the advantages of the pressure washer in the building industry.

THE PRESSURE WASHER IN THE BUILDING INDUSTRY: WATER TO CLEAN AND WORK ON SITES

With dust and concrete, cleaning on a construction site requires powerful and specialized tools.
Nothing better, therefore, than a good <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/high-pressure-washer/#prosemiprodomestic" rel="noopener" target="_blank">professional cold water pressure washer with gasoline or diesel engine </a>to clean tools, machinery and vehicles. In this article, however, we will discover how a construction site <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/pressure-washers" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #fd602c;">pressure washer</a> is also useful for cleaning facades and floors and for the important sandblasting operations in restoration and renovation works.
<h2>THE PRESSURE WASHER FOR CLEANING MACHINERY</h2>
Water is widely used in the building industry, both for the preparation of mortars and cement and for the laying of various materials. These operations only require a simple rubber hose. At the end of the work, however, when everything has to be cleaned, it is essential to use the force and pressure of a pressure washer.
Tools, machinery, metal scaffolding and vehicles used in construction are literally attacked by the immense amount of dust and dirt in a construction site, and the lack of proper cleaning can significantly reduce functionality and increase wear and tear. For small and medium sized tools, elbow grease can be used, but it is clear that it is impossible to clean concrete mixers, bulldozers or earthmoving and transport equipment with a simple wet sponge.
That’s why a professional pressure washer becomes an essential investment to reduce time to be dedicated to cleaning, thanks to a wide range of accessories - lances, brushes and special nozzles - and the use of detergents and hot water that allow cleaning even the most stubborn dirt, such as grease and scale.

&nbsp;
<h2>THE PRESSURE WASHER FOR CLEANING FACADES AND SURFACES</h2>
Facades, coatings and flat surfaces must be not only built and finished, but also cleaned of smog, dust and various incrustations. In these cases, in order to speed up the phase of moistening and removal of substances that attack the surfaces, professional pressure washers are available in various powers and of the most suitable size for each space.
Using a pressure washer for such operations means exponentially saving time compared to the use of a simple hose, as well as up to 85% of water used, with a consequent lower impact also for wastewater discharges. This is all possible thanks to the pressure water that, with a few operations, is able to guarantee the same results as would be done by hand and with large quantities of detergents.
Specific accessories, such as floor cleaning lances, are specifically designed for cleaning floors and flat surfaces: for small surfaces you can use a brush that can be simply connected to the pressure washer, while for <a href="/cleaning-en/the-professional-sweeper-clean-floors-in-just-one-sweep" rel="noopener" style="font-weight: bold; color: #fd602c;" target="_blank">larger surfaces it is even better to rely on a professional sweeping machine</a>. Similarly, when large amounts of dust and small debris have to be removed, it is recommended to use a professional vacuum cleaner before working with the pressure washer.
{{cta('d44289e9-72e2-4974-ba77-38dc6bd8f870')}}
&nbsp;
<h2>THE PRESSURE WASHER FOR RESTORATION AND RENOVATION</h2>
The pump of a pressure washer, thanks to the pressure it generates, makes water a real tool for the restoration and renovation phases, where it is often necessary to remove dirt, incrustations, waxes, greases, paints and oils from structures and facades.
The energy of water sprayed by the pressure washer’s lances and nozzles succeeds in eliminating the crumbling components of old paints and deteriorated parts of masonry and concrete, thus reducing much of the preparatory phase for surface reconstruction.
The power of the pressure washer is also used to roughen the cement immediately after casting and to remove old bitumen layers quickly, efficiently and economically.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>SANDBLASTING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER</h2>
During a renovation work, the sandblasting phase is very often used, both for internal and external walls and for the most various components of a building. The sandblasting process originates from the treatment of the metal surfaces carried out before painting, where the roughening of the metal by “spraying” microscopic powder particles facilitates the grip of the paint to be applied.
These same powders are used, in the same way, to clean metal heaters and handrails, wooden parts and various elements made of granite, marble or stone, both from paint and from the layer of dirt left by smog, fumes and limestone incrustations. By sandblasting, moreover, you can&nbsp;treat the plaster to be restored by contacting and removing only the damaged part, without touching the still intact one, thus saving time and materials.
<img src="https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/BLOG_IDROPULITRICI/Blog_idropulitrici_PROFESSIONALI/Idropulitrici_per_impresa_edile_3.jpg" alt="Idropulitrici_per_impresa_edile_3" width="1688" style="width: 1688px;">
&nbsp;
Without having to purchase a sandblasting machine, a professional pressure washer dedicated to the building industry has, among its optional accessories, a sandblasting lance that allows hydro-sandblasting, a special technique which is as innovative as effective. It is a lance provided with a special head that, by means of a hose, sucks calibrated and sharp grains of silica sand (or bicarbonate, if the surfaces to be attacked are particularly delicate and if residues are to be limited as much as possible) by mixing them with water under pressure, thus increasing exponentially the abrasive function of the jet produced.
The result is even better than just sandblasting, since the aqueous component removes the less cohesive parts with greater precision and, at the same time, washes away soluble products. Finally, there is no risk of damaging the original parts of the materials to be restored because an accurate adjustment offered by the pressure washers on the market allows both attacking the most stubborn dirt and operating in a precise and careful way only on the deteriorated parts, safeguarding the healthy ones.
At this point you are aware of all the main advantages of working in the building industry with a professional pressure washer. All you have to do is choose the one with the most suitable size and power supply (diesel or gasoline) for your needs, to make your work on site easier, more comfortable and cleaner.

&nbsp;
<h2>VACUUM CLEANER FOR CONSTRUCTION SITES</h2>
Not only washing and sandblasting, but also suction.&nbsp; In the building industry, cement dust is unavoidable, with excavations, demolitions and concrete mixers that mix bags of lime and mountains of sand. Breathing problems and lethal diseases such as silicosis are a very high risk for workers. There are special models of vacuum cleaners for these types of hazardous dusts, as well as for vacuuming processing water, sources of pollution and contamination of the environments surrounding the construction sites.

HOW TO USE AND TO MAINTAIN A PRESSURE WASHER PERFECTLY

If you own a <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/idropulitrice-professionale" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">pressure washer</a> or if you want to buy one, to use it in a home or professional environment, it will be very useful to know some advice on its correct operation: from the ignition, to the care, up to the periodic maintenance operations necessary to keep your pressure cleaner at maximum efficiency.

Follow our tips and find out how to make the most of the full potential of your pressure cleaner.
<h2>HOW THE PRESSURE WASHER WORKS</h2>
If you’ve ever wondered how a pressure cleaner removes even the toughest dirt, here is a summary description of the basic operating principle,&nbsp;accompanied by a practical diagram.
The pressure washer is connected to a water source (1) from which it draws cold water which, passing through a suitable filter (3), is introduced into a pump (10) driven by an electric or endothermic engine (11), i.e. combustion engine. If the water source supplies drinking water, it must pass through a "Backflow" device (2) necessary to prevent any backflow before reaching the pump.
<img src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/5415755/BLOG_IDROPULITRICI/Blog_idropulitrici_MANUTENZIONE/schema%20idropulitrice%20en.jpg" alt="schema idropulitrice en" width="1146" style="width: 1146px;">Simplified technical diagram illustrating the steps just described.
The pump produces a high-pressure jet at the outlet, which is regulated and limited by a by-pass valve (12) before passing through a hose (13) and ending its path by exiting through a rigid lance (14) in whose head a nozzle (15) is fixed. A detergent from a tank (7) can be added to the water flow. The detergent can be introduced upstream (8) or downstream (9) of the pump.
If the detergent is added upstream of the pump (usually on machines with an internal water tank), this is called high pressure detergent delivery. In this case, the detergent is simply sucked in by connecting the hose (9) to the pump suction. The advantage obtained is that there is no pressure drop, but the foam effect is limited.
If, on the other hand, it is added downstream of the pump (8), we speak of low pressure detergent delivery. In this case, generally, the pump is supplied directly (6) from the water source (1): the detergent is sucked in through a Venturi system and an excellent foam effect is generated. However, the detergent is sucked in by a small nozzle that generates a drop in the pump pressure.
{{cta('d44289e9-72e2-4974-ba77-38dc6bd8f870')}}
<h2>HOW TO USE THE PRESSURE WASHER SAFELY</h2>
The pressure washer allows, both in home and professional environments, the most varied uses: it can clean pathways and courtyards, but also sewers, gutters, machinery and vehicles; but some general precautions must be followed in order to use it without taking risks.
<h3><a href="/cleaning-en/cleaning-the-garden-with-a-pressure-washer" rel="noopener" target="_blank">READ MORE: CLEANING THE GARDEN: IT’S EASIER AND QUICKER WITH A PRESSURE WASHER</a></h3>

Word on Folder Register of Card Index. Selective Focus." width="1000" style="width: 1000px;"> Here, then, is a list of basic tips for a correct and responsible use:
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Safety first</h3>
</li>
</ul>
Comply with all local safety regulations and directives. It is true that you can clean almost anything with the pressure washer, but you cannot wash people, animals, live appliances or objects that are too delicate.
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Read the instruction manual</h3>
</li>
</ul>
Before starting the pressure washer, read and understand the instruction manual carefully.
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Pay attention and common sense</h3>
</li>
</ul>
Do not use the equipment under the influence of remedies, drugs or alcohol. The pressure washer is not intended for use by children or persons whose physical, sensory or mental abilities are reduced.
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Warnings for the electric motors</h3>
</li>
</ul>
Disconnect the electric power before performing any work on the electrical components. Do not use the machine if the power cable or some of its important parts are damaged and if there are visible water leaks.
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Respect the environment</h3>
</li>
</ul>
Use your pressure washer only with biodegradable detergents and in the indicated quantities: excessive use of detergents has no benefit on cleaning operations and unnecessarily damages the environment.
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Check the operating temperature</h3>
</li>
</ul>
Do not use the hot water pressure washer at higher temperatures than those indicated in the instruction manual. Water at too high a temperature could ruin the seals and damage the unit.
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Warnings for the endothermic engines</h3>
</li>
</ul>
Do not use the pressure washer with internal combustion engine in closed areas and always check that the drains are not near vents, people or animals. Do not use the pressure washer with inappropriate fuels.
<ul>
<li>
<h3>Warnings for hot water washers</h3>
</li>
</ul>
Do not touch the boiler and other hot parts, to avoid the risk of burns. Do not use the hot water pressure washer in combination with accessories not suitable for high temperatures. After use, run the pressure washer for a couple of minutes in cold water.

Nozzles and heads: the most important components of pressure washers

Nozzles and heads are among the most important components for an effective pressure washer: let’s find out what they are.

NOZZLES AND HEADS: THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF PRESSURE WASHERS

The <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/idropulitrice-professionale" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pressure washer </a>is among the most effective tools for cleaning most spaces and surfaces, both at home and as a professional. The cleaning power of pressurized water is increased by a wide range of accessories: nozzles and heads are among the most important ones.

<h3><a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/idropulitrice-professionale" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DISCOVER COMET PRESSURE WASHERS</a></h3>
Choosing the right accessories exponentially increases the effectiveness of a pressure washer, which is why there is a wide range of accessories on the market, each suitable for different uses and applications. The right choice will allow increasing the power and strength of the jet of your pressure washer, yet respecting the most delicate surfaces and materials.
Hoses, spray guns, lances, probes, filters, fittings and specific connections may transform your pressure washer into a tool capable of performing much more complex operations than traditional washing. But every pressure washer can work at its best only if it is equipped with excellent nozzles and heads.
<h3><a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/idropulitrice-professionale" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DISCOVER ALL COMET PRESSURE WASHER ACCESSORIES</a></h3>
<h3>PRESSURE WASHER NOZZLES</h3>
The nozzle is the final end of the pressure washer, the one from which the pressurized water physically comes out. It is designed to spray the water with well-defined shapes and directions: they can be made of brass, stainless steel or ceramic and are divided according to the shape of the jet produced.
<img src="https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/Applicazione%204%20-%20Marmo.jpg" alt="Applicazione 4 - Marmo" width="600" loading="lazy" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto;">
In order to select the right one, we need to know what we are going to use it for: the more resistant the surface and the more concentrated the dirt, the smaller the opening angle to be used. Vice versa, the more delicate the surface or superficial the dirt, the greater the angle to be used.
<h3>READ MORE: <a href="/cleaning-en/household-pressure-washer-indispensable-cleaning-aid" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">HOUSEHOLD PRESSURE WASHER: AN INDISPENSABLE CLEANING AID</a></h3>
The main types of nozzles are:
<ul>
<li>concentrated jet or 0° degree nozzles: the water comes out forming a flush jet, whose internal volume is filled with drops; it is suitable in case of very concentrated and resistant dirt;</li>
<li>blade or fan-shaped nozzles: the water forms a jet similar to a fan, with an opening angle normally between 15° and 40°; it is the most suitable solution for most surfaces.</li>
</ul>
Nozzle replacement is crucial. The orifice of nozzles, in fact, wears out very quickly causing a lower pressure than usual. The high quality of the nozzles ensures a correct water delivery and a precise correspondence between pressure and flow rate depending on the size of the nozzle itself. 
The great care taken by Comet in carefully selecting the nozzles it distributes guarantees greater reliability, precision and durability.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
<h2>ROTATING Nozzles</h2>
One of the most common types of nozzles is the rotating jet nozzle. The rotating nozzle allows increasing the impact strength of the water on the washed surface, thanks to the spiral and rotating movement of the spray itself. In this way the water comes out forming a conical rotating jet, where the drops are distributed only on the external surface, improving the cleaning effect. The professional models reach pressures up to 600 bar.
Comet distributes different types of rotating nozzles ranging from hobbyist to professional models with pressures from 160 to 600 bar.
<h3>PRESSURE WASHER HEADS</h3>
<img src="https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/Applicazione%202%20-%20Cemento%20armato.jpg" alt="Applicazione 2 - Cemento armato" width="600" loading="lazy" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto;">
The heads have a double function: they connect one or more nozzles at the same time to the lance and at the same time protect these from possible shocks or other external stresses, so as to limit their wear. 
Depending on your use or needs, you can choose from the following types of heads:
<ul>
<li>nozzle holder heads;</li>
<li>detergent suction heads;</li>
<li>double and triple heads, to mount several nozzles at the same time;</li>
<li>heads for sandblasting lances;</li>
<li>heads for pipe flushing probes.</li>
</ul>
This last type, the pipe flushing probe, is the typical example that explains how a special application of a nozzle can transform even a simple pressure washer into a professional tool. It is a tube with a special nozzle which, when connected to the spray gun, makes it possible to easily remove incrustations and lumps that obstruct the normal flow of fluids inside the pipes. In addition to the individual accessories, there is also a sludge suction kit with everything you need to independently suck up mud and dirty water in the event of floods, inundations and broken pipes.

COMET-CLEANING LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE EXCLUSIVELY FOR PROFESSIONAL CLEANING PRODUCTS: FINALLY, A DEDICATED SPACE!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of this new site dedicated exclusively to the professional cleaning products range: <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en" rel="noopener">comet-cleaning.com</a>.

For the first time in our history, we have decided to differentiate the communication dedicated to our finished products, the professional cleaning machinery, from our components range. This prompted us to create a standalone website to bridge the communication gap with the end consumer and embrace a B2C content strategy.
&nbsp;
<h2>A B2C SITE THAT IS ALSO TECHNICAL AND FUNCTIONAL, CATERING TO DEALERS AND RESELLERS.</h2>
Creating a site with the end customer as its main target does not mean it is any less technical and professional. All the features of the old site are still present, while information and content have been further enriched with:
<ul>
<li>detailed information for each version of each product (not just generic information valid for all versions) which includes: image, technical specifications, standard accessories, optional accessories, advantages and downloadable technical documentation</li>
<li>all accessories codes, both standard and optional</li>
</ul>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>AN ELEGANT AND USER-FRIENDLY SITE DESIGNED FOR MOBILE BROWSING</h2>
Analytics data shows that more than half of the site's users access it via mobile, and this number is steadily increasing.&nbsp;We, therefore, thought of easy-to-use navigation via smartphone and clear graphics that would make the products stand out even on a mobile phone screen.
Horizontal navigation brings a sense of novelty and freshness to the site, setting it apart not only from our corporate site but also from our competitors' sites.&nbsp; The result is an engaging and easy-to-use website where visitors can explore our range of cleaning products intuitively and enjoyably.
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>NEW CONTENT THAT IS RELEVANT TO END USERS</h2>
In addition to an aesthetic update and a consumer-focused design, the new release includes enhanced sections intended to provide more information to the end user:
<ul>
<li>a FAQ page divided by product families, which answers the most frequent questions that arise during the purchase or use of the machinery</li>
<li>a store locator, very easy to consult, dedicated to finding retailers</li>
<li>an assistance section divided between B2B users and end users which allows you to find all the information in a simple and immediate way</li>
<li>a blog dedicated to the world of professional and domestic cleaning </li>
</ul>
<h2>A DEDICATED SITE WAS A NECESSARY STEP FOR ONE OF THE MOST COMPLETE CLEANING RANGES ON THE MARKET</h2>
Comet SpA has been producing professional pressure washers since 1983. The pump is the heart of the pressure washer and, as a leading company in the design and construction of pumps for agriculture and industry, it was natural that Comet turned to this market by offering extremely reliable and high-quality products, and that quickly became a market reference point.
With the acquisition of Lavorwash SpA in 2017, the professional cleaning machinery range was enriched with floor scrubber dryers, sweepers and steam generators. The last step to complete a very high-performance Floor Care range was the acquisition of Poli Srl in 2021, a reference brand for professional brooms and sweepers.
A dedicated site was, therefore, essential to appropriately showcase a range so wide, both in terms of products and performance. Comet cleaning machinery starts from domestic high-pressure washers and goes up to the super-professional ride-on machines for cleaning.
&nbsp;
<h2>AND IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING...&nbsp;</h2>
The creation of this site aims to differentiate us on the market and attract the interest our range deserves. With this new digital tool, we are ready to offer our customers an exceptional user experience in both form and content and to support our sales force with an attractive and detailed showcase of our products.
But we won't stop here. Each division of Comet SpA (Agriculture, Industry and Cleaning) is working hard to bring increasingly reliable and high-performance products to the market and broaden an already wider range to satisfy every need. In the same way, we will continue to discover new ideas, tools, and methods to communicate our ongoing commitment to innovation and quality.

Comet Court: the sweeper for padel courts

Let’s find out about Comet Court, the new sweeper for the cleaning and maintenance of padel and tennis courts and for all synthetic turf sports fields.

COMET COURT: THE SWEEPER FOR PADEL COURTS

Maintenance of padel and tennis courts becomes quick and easy if you use a <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/sweepers" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">professional sweeper</a>.

In this article, in fact, we will find out how just one machine can make the cleaning of playing surfaces and the various environments of sports centers more efficient.
<h2>The large success of padel</h2>
Tennis is one of the oldest and most popular sports in the world, so much so that just putting together a court divided by a net, racket and ball is enough to evoke it in anyone’s mind. Padel is derived from tennis and shares many of its characteristics: a racket with a rigid, rather than strung, plate is used; the ball is about the same but with less internal pressure.
Aside from a few rules, what most distinguishes padel from tennis is the court, albeit still with a concrete or artificial turf floor: smaller by about a quarter (10 meters x 20 meters) and surrounded by glass or concrete walls (or rigid wire net) that are used as sides to bounce shots. Like tennis or other sports, sand is spread on the synthetic surface that is essential both to preserve the court and to reduce the risk of falls and to increase sports performance through better control of ball bounce.
Originating in the early 1970s in Latin America, it is only in the last decade that padel has spread widely in Europe and even more recently in Italy, where it has become such a mass phenomenon that most sports centers are converting soccer and tennis courts into padel courts.
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
<h2>The maintenance of padel courts</h2>
The use of padel courts, given their high prevalence, occurs almost on a continuous cycle so cleaning must be as frequent as it is quick, to allow players to move around safely and not have to suspend use for maintenance.
Indeed, there are not a few tasks involved in cleaning padel courts, whether indoor or outdoor. In addition to cleaning the vertical walls - most useful for spectators attending games - and checking the stability of the fencing structures, it is the court surface that requires the most frequent and accurate care.
Outdoor courts need to be continually cleaned of leaves, weeds and other trash that can be carried onto the court by the wind or fall from surrounding trees. For those outdoors as much as for indoor courts, all waste that athletes may accidentally leave on the ground must then be removed.
In such cases, brooms, soft rakes or blowers can be used, but these methods have some drawbacks: in addition to the time and effort involved, there is a risk of over-dispersing the sand and mistakenly depriving some parts of the playing court of it.
Sand distribution, in fact, is another important maintenance task to be performed on padel courts: a medium-hard bristle broom is usually used to spread the grains evenly over the entire court.
<h2><img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/Utilizzo%20SWL-R%20700%20comet%20tennis84.jpg" width="842" height="543" loading="lazy" alt="Utilizzo SWL-R 700 comet tennis84" style="width: 842px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"></h2>
<h2>How sweepers operate</h2>
All the court cleaning tasks just listed can be done much more easily and quickly by using a professional sweeper instead of manual tools.
This is a machine capable of removing the coarsest debris and finest dust from floors and carpets in a short time and without effort for the operator, thanks to the simultaneous use of rotating side brushes and a central brush.
Thanks to the collection tray equipped with micro-holes, the collected sand is then redistributed evenly over the court without creating troublesome piles. The court, in addition to regaining its original color due to the elimination of dust and ball fluff that can fall to the ground as a result of the racket impact, returns to a homogeneous surface that improves its performance during play.
<h3 style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blog.comet-spa.com/cleaning-it/la-spazzatrice-professionale-pavimenti-puliti-in-una-sola-passata" style="color: #fd602c;">ALSO READ:</a><a href="/cleaning-en/the-professional-sweeper-clean-floors-in-just-one-sweep" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> THE PROFESSIONAL SWEEPER, CLEAN FLOORS IN ONE SWEEP</a></h3>
Sweepers are divided, depending on how they are driven, into two main categories: man-behind or man-on board. In the first case, they are pushed with a handle by an operator walking behind them. Man-on board sweepers, on the other hand, have their own traction and are equipped with a driver’s seat to carry the operator driving them.
Replacing brooms, rakes and blowers with a sweeper, as you can easily guess, eliminates the drudgery of rounding up trash, scooping it up and tossing it in the trash can, zeroing out the time it takes to perform these partial and repeated steps. The main advantage, however, is the better achievable cleanliness and efficiency in redistributing sand on the padel court.

<h2>Comet Court: the sweeper for padel courts</h2>
To meet the needs of the industry, Comet has developed the Court sweeper, a sweeper model dedicated to cleaning the padel courts: it is the evolution of the <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/floorcare/sweepers/csw-700" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Comet CSW 700 man-behind sweeper</a>, equipped with brushes and collection tray specifically modified for cleaning the playing surface and redistributing sand on the court.
This innovative sweeper allows for the quick and safe maintenance of the padel court, providing players with safety and hygiene: in fact, it is equipped with special filters that allow for the even redistribution of sand but retain the dust and fluff that game balls release on the court.
The central and side brushes, on the other hand, accurately sweep up both the coarse waste and sand that accumulates at the edge of the court, while neatly combing the synthetic turf fibers.
<h2><img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/Utilizzo%20SWL-R%20700%20comet%20padel%2048.jpg" width="842" height="562" loading="lazy" alt="Utilizzo SWL-R 700 comet padel 48" style="width: 842px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"></h2>
<h2>Field-tested universal effectiveness</h2>
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor synthetic turf or concrete courts, Comet Court’s small size allows it to fit through even the tightest of spaces. In addition, by replacing the special tray for padel courts with the standard collection container without holes (optional), it also becomes practical and effective for cleaning tennis courts and all sports center environments such as clubhouses, bars, locker rooms, offices, driveways and parking lots, which are difficult to keep clean given the size and the significant dirt that usually accumulates due to bad weather.
We had the owners of an Italian padel center and tennis club test Comet Court and got excellent feedback: the surface of both padel and tennis courts immediately changed color, regaining its original look where broom cleaning had served no useful purpose.
The speed and yield per sq.m/hr of the sweeper were incredible, especially as regards the fluff left by the balls: this was almost invisible on the court, but within minutes the collection tank was filled with it. At the same time, the redistribution of the collected sand via the perforated tray worked very well.
<h2><img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/Utilizzo%20SWL-R%20700%20comet%20tennis68.jpg" width="842" height="562" loading="lazy" alt="Utilizzo SWL-R 700 comet tennis68" style="width: 842px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"></h2>
<h2>What they had to say</h2>
The two managers, after the test, were immediately interested in purchasing the Comet Court sweeper: so in order to describe the results achieved, let’s read what they had to say.
“The CSW 700B COURT sweeper was used for a court cleaning test with a synthetic turf surface that presented a dual problem: first, that of removing surface dirt, such as tennis ball fluff or dirt from outside, and second, that of evenly redistributing the sand on the court so as to ensure its proper maintenance and use. 
&nbsp;The sweeper performed both tasks extremely well by leaving the surface clean and redistributing the sand evenly, all very quickly and effectively. 
&nbsp;The use of this product, in addition to returning an optimal result, greatly speeds up cleaning operations. 
&nbsp;What is more, it has the advantage that by quickly replacing the collection tray it can be used to sweep both concrete courts and driveways and outdoor areas of our club, providing our members with a clean and tidy environment at all times."
Marco Brighenti, president of A.S.D.R. Tennis Suzzara and FITP (Italian Tennis and Padel Federation) instructor.
<h2><img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/Utilizzo%20SWL-R%20700%20comet%20tennis104.jpg" width="842" height="568" loading="lazy" alt="Utilizzo SWL-R 700 comet tennis104" style="width: 842px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"></h2>
“We usually remove dirt with a broom or vacuum cleaner, but the latter, unfortunately, also removes sand. 
&nbsp;After using this machine, I saw noticeable changes both visually and practically: the court surface was clean and the sand evenly distributed, with much less time and effort expended. 
&nbsp;With better sand distribution, court performance can of course only improve."
Jessica, manager of La Quercia Sport Village Suzzara.

cleaning the pool: the advantages of having a pressure washer 

The pressure washer is an essential tool for cleaning the pool: discover all the advantages and how to use it in the best possible way. 

CLEANING THE POOL: THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING A PRESSURE WASHER

The summer season is the best time to enjoy your pool, but first you need to clean it thoroughly.&nbsp;To avoid paying a lot of money for a maintenance technician, you can do it yourself, which is why you need to know how advantageous it is to use a <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/pressure-washers" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pressure washer</a> to clean your pool.&nbsp;

Although the pool water is treated with chlorine, it is essential to sanitize the bottom, walls, edges and floor around the pool in order to enjoy it in total safety and freedom, especially at a time like this when it is crucial to sanitize the environments in which we live.
Even if the water in which you dive is disinfected, dirt and impurities can still settle on the surfaces of the pool in winter, when empty, especially if surrounded by trees and vegetation that shed leaves and attract insects.
<h2> HOW TO CLEAN YOUR POOL WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER</h2>
As a first operation, if you have not done it before winter, you have to empty the pool completely from water and wait for it to dry completely. This way you can collect foliage, soil, insects and other solid waste with a broom or vacuum cleaner. The walls, however, will probably have some dirt composed of different elements, such as limestone, mould, bacteria, fungi, algae, bird droppings or residues of sun creams and oils.
<img src="https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/BLOG_IDROPULITRICI/Blog_idropulitrici_TEMPO%20LIBERO/piscine_2.jpg" alt="piscine_2" width="600" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto;">
It would take hours of work and a great deal of effort to clean these residues mechanically: this is why a pressure washer is so important. A good precaution before you start is to cover well any electrical components such as motors, pumps and heating systems.
The high pressure water jet makes the pressure washer the ideal tool to remove dirt as well as the most incrusted residues between the small joints in the pool walls.
The powerful action of pressure can be combined with special cleaning agents or accessories t<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/it/cleaning/accessori-cleaning/" style="font-weight: normal;">o</a> be mounted on the pressure washer lance, such as rotating heads or brushes.
If the pool is large it is advisable to divide it into sections to clean it without leaving out any points. For the application of the cleaning agent, move from top to bottom and&nbsp;let it on for 5-10 minutes, taking care to wet it continuously with a low pressure jet, to prevent it from drying too much or dissolving with a strong jet.
Then rinse the cleaning agent, always from top to bottom and with a gentle jet. At this point you can repeat the same operation on the bottom surface of the pool.
<h2>ATTENTION TO ALGAE</h2>
&nbsp;Special care must be taken to remove algae: the points where they are most easily formed are the water filtering vents, the parts around the ladders and the areas where the water tends to become stagnant the most.
As well as being unsightly, algae can easily cause bacteria to proliferate; they also grow quickly and easily and can severely obstruct pool pipes. The high pressure produced by the pressure washer manages to detach and completely remove algae from every area where they have been formed.
After removing them, however, it is good to spray an algaecide to prevent them from forming again. As an alternative to these specific products, you can also use a mix consisting of 4 parts water and 1 part bleach: apply it on the affected part, rub it well with a cloth or brush, leave it on for ten minutes and then rinse thoroughly with a low pressure water jet.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
&nbsp;
<h2>THE RIGHT ACCESSORY FOR EVERY NEED</h2>
The best pressure washers are equipped with a wide range of accessories to choose from to remove all types of dirt with maximum efficiency and comfort.
For example, you can easily reach tile joints, edges, spotlights and portholes to remove particularly hard calcifications and incrustations with a precision nozzle.
With special brushes, instead, you can remove the most difficult stains, such as those that form on the waterline or caused by algae, without the risk of scratching the surface and without any effort you would do by hand with an abrasive sponge.
Hose extensions, on the other hand, are very useful for moving around and inside the pool with ease - once emptied - helping you further with hose reels. 
Finally, one of the most useful accessories is certainly the floor cleaning lance. This accessory allows washing the entire swimming pool by greatly reducing work time thanks to the fact that the water jet is located on a larger surface. Do not be fooled by the fact that their name is "floor cleaners", in fact they can also be used comfortably on vertical walls&nbsp;thanks to their ergonomic support handle.

In addition to cleaning at the beginning of the season, the pressure washer is very useful throughout the summer to sweep away leaves, dust, soil and any other type of dirt from the poolside, slides and diving boards, from the floor around the pool, and to wash deckchairs, sunbeds and tables.

&nbsp;
<h2>HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRESSURE WASHER MODEL</h2>
You can choose <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/idropulitrice-professionale" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;" target="_blank">the most suitable pressure washer</a> for your purpose taking into account, first of all, the size of your pool: the larger the area to be cleaned, the better you can rely on a professional or semi-professional model with a high power motor.
On the contrary, if your pool is smaller, you can opt for a more compact and lighter model that is easy to handle and takes up little space in the shed.
If you are lucky enough to have an indoor swimming pool, however, you should definitely opt for a pressure washer with an electric motor that does not emit exhaust fumes, while outdoor you can use both electric and combustion engine models.
You can also choose between <a href="/cleaning-en/cold-water-or-hot-water-pressure-washers-how-to-choose" rel="noopener" target="_blank">cold water and hot water pressure washers</a>: the only precaution, in the second case, is not to use hot water on above-ground or inflatable pools, made with plastic tarpaulins that cannot stand for high temperatures. For these types of pools, in any case, it is recommended not to exaggerate with the water pressure and operate too close.
Finally, when you purchase a pressure washer, keep in mind that you can use it for many different operations: besides cleaning the pool, it will also be very useful for cleaning gardens and furniture, for yard floors and for washing your car, motorcycle, scooter or bicycle.

Quick and easy spring cleaning with the pressure washer

Spring cleaning becomes easier, convenient and fast using a pressure washer

QUICK AND EASY SPRING CLEANING WITH THE PRESSURE WASHER

After the dirt accumulated during winter, cleaning up gardens, windows and outdoor areas can be challenging and tiring. It becomes much easier, however, if you carry out your spring cleaning with a home or semi-professional <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/idropulitrici" rel="noopener" target="_blank" style="color: #fd602c;">pressure washer</a>.

When the first warm weather arrives and the spring season begins, we desire to open windows and balconies and enjoy the outdoor spaces of our homes. Too bad, however, that the winter cold and laziness have made us neglect gardens and yards for months when wind, rain and bad weather carried leaves and waste and deposited layers upon layers of dust, soil, moss and environmental residues of all kinds.
<h3><a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/pressure-washers/hot-water" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DISCOVER COMET PRESSURE WASHERS FOR CLEANING OUTDOOR AREAS</a></h3>
The pressure washer is capable of effortlessly making flat and vertical surfaces shine as well as furniture, saving water and time and avoiding damage caused by trowels and scrapers.
<h2>PRESSURE WASHER VS. WATER HOSE</h2>
The so-called “water hose” reaches a maximum pressure of 4-5 bars, just enough to barely float a pile of leaves or to “mix” the soil and turn it into mud, even more so if the drainage channels are clogged. The pressure of a pressure washer, on the other hand, reaches hundreds of bars and the water flow rate is unequalled. The models in the Comet range are equipped for the dispensing of detergents and are also effective against moss, mildew and encrusted dirt.
<img src="https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0212.jpg" alt="DSC_0212" width="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
In the shadier areas, on raw wooden parts or around pots and planters, in fact, the humidity of winter often causes the formation of mold and moss. Driveways and courtyards, on the other hand, often end up as sheds for motorcycles and scooters during the cold season, and it may occur that engine oil, fuel or various lubricants inadvertently drip from them. These drawbacks often leave unsightly stains and marks, resistant to simple hand washing, with the risk of damaging floors and surfaces if you try to scrape them off with abrasive tools. With a pressure washer, on the other hand, cleaning is easier, guaranteed and immediate, without any damage.
The pressure washer also guarantees water saving of 70% compared to traditional washing with a water hose. Saving will double if you also consider the environmental plus.
{{cta('d44289e9-72e2-4974-ba77-38dc6bd8f870')}}
<h3>LESS TIME AND MORE ECOLOGY</h3>
For many, the spring months are the best - if not the only - time to spend in the garden, taking advantage of the mild weather and without suffering too much from summer heat. That’s why it is essential not to waste entire weeks to restore the perfect state of cleanliness, taking time in exhausting and endless operations with rakes and mops. The time saved, therefore, repays by far the investment for the purchase of a pressure washer, which is also useful for washing bikes, motorcycles and cars, for clearing clogged manholes, roofs and gutters and for many other purposes.

Alternatively, you can always address to a cleaning company - but how much would you pay?
<img src="https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0094.jpg" alt="DSC_0094" width="2066" style="width: 2066px; margin: 0px auto; display: block;">
<h2>RIGHT ACCESSORIES AND SMALL TIPS</h2>
After choosing the best model for your needs, you can select a wide range of accessories to make spring cleaning with your pressure washer even easier.
There are many different types of nozzles available, to obtain as many types of water jet, each suited to a special purpose: a more targeted and pointed jet, for example, is useful to clean between the joints of concrete or tiles, while a larger one is useful for sweeping away foliage and soil.
Lances and extensions will allow you to reach difficult or higher places without resorting to rickety ladders, or to move easily around the area to be cleaned, although many pressure washer models already come with wheels for easier movement.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
Special types of brush, rotating or fixed, can be mounted on the pressure washers to clean glass doors and windows, shutters and blinds: one of the most annoying and time-consuming operations to be carried out. Contrary to popular belief, glass frames can easily withstand high pressure, unlike wooden frames and shutters, which require greater caution.

troubles with the pressure washers: what they are and how to solve them

Water leaks, low pressure, weak jets: what to do when you have a problem with the pressure washer

TROUBLES WITH THE PRESSURE WASHERS: WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM

A <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/idropulitrice-professionale" style="font-weight: bold;" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pressure washer, either home or professional,</a> can achieve unparalleled levels of cleanliness, but to do so it must always be at its best. 
Sometimes, in fact, the pressure washer may not reach pressure, leak water or have problems preventing it from producing the pressure and water jet necessary to adequately clean surfaces, environments, vehicles and machinery.
All this happens because the precautions and measures necessary for proper care and maintenance that such a complex and powerful machine as a high pressure washer needs are not complied with. The direct outcome can be an inefficient result or, even worse, accidents to operators and damage to the machine or materials on which the pressure washer is used.
Let's see, then, what are the basic indications to use and maintain a pressure washer correctly and to be able to use it effectively and safely.

<h2>GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR PRESSURE WASHER CARE</h2>
First of all, before using the machine, read the instruction manual carefully. Then, in general terms, follow the safety rules and, even before that, common sense:
<ul>
<li>Do not direct the pressure washer jet on people or animals</li>
<li>Do not wash electrically live objects with the pressure washer</li>
<li>Do not use the pressure washer on delicate objects and surfaces that could be damaged by the power of the water jet</li>
<li>Do not use the pressure washer if you are under the influence of medicines, drugs or alcohol and do not let children or people with reduced physical or mental capacity use it</li>
<li>For electric motor models, do not use the pressure washer if the power cord is damaged and the machine has apparent water leaks</li>

<h2>HOW TO MAINTAIN THE PRESSURE WASHER</h2>
The best way to get the utmost results from a pressure washer and to extend its life is to carry out regular and specific maintenance, according to precise times and ways.
At each use, check if the hose, gun, filter, lances, fittings and power cords are sound, replace damaged parts immediately or contact a specialized service centre for any repairs.
In case of frequent use, monthly check if the filters are well cleaned with water and anti-scale detergent. The same must be done with the nozzles, taking care to clean them from scale with the special pins provided, or to replace them. Equally important is to check the correct oil level inside the pump, providing for any topping up.
Every 3 months, or every 200 hours of operation, have the following important operations performed by a qualified technician:
<ul>
<li>Checking the hydraulic circuit</li>
<li>Checking the pump oil level</li>
<li>Checking the pump fixing</li>
<li>Checking filters and nozzles</li>
</ul>
Every 6 months, or every 500 hours of operation, have the following important operations performed by a qualified technician:
<ul>
<li>Checking the suction and delivery valves</li>
<li>Checking the regulating valve</li>
<li>Replacing the pump oil</li>
<li>Replacing filters and nozzles</li>
</ul>

<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>PRESSURE WASHER TROUBLESHOOTING</h2>
Even if all precautions are taken, the pressure washer may have problems and malfunctions. Some of these, often the result of simple forgetfulness, can easily be solved without a technician intervention, while to fix more serious troubles it is essential to turn to specialized and authorized service centres.
Let's see what the main problems are and how to deal with them.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
The pressure washer does not start &gt; the motor may fail to start: simply switch it on, possibly by plugging in the power supply plug or make sure that the socket and the mains supply are working properly.
The pressure washer vibrates excessively and is too much noisy &gt; the water inlet filter may be responsible for it: if dirty, simply clean it. As an alternative, it may be due to faulty air intake: in this case, check the soundness of the suction circuit and make sure that the ventilation is not obstructed by dust or small debris. Finally, the cause may be an insufficient water supply: therefore, check if the tap is fully open and the water mains flow rate complies with the instructions in the pressure washer’s instruction manual.
The pressure washer stops suddenly during operation &gt; operate on the motor protection device, carefully following the instructions in the operating manual and complying with the specified operating conditions.
The motor produces an unpleasant buzz &gt; for electrically powered models, this may be due to the inadequate conditions of the electrical system or the extensions used to connect to the power supply: check the instructions for electrical connection in the user and maintenance manual and comply with them carefully.
The pressure washer does not deliver hot water &gt; (for hot water models) make sure that the boiler tank is well supplied with diesel or that the filter is well cleaned (if necessary, clean or replace it). As an alternative, operate on the boiler safety thermostat, but only after the pressure washer has cooled down for a few minutes to allow the device to be reset.
The pressure washer does not suck enough detergent &gt; (for models featuring it), first check if the regulating knob is fully open and the nozzle holder head is in the correct position, then clean the detergent suction filter of any clogs. In any case, avoid using a viscous detergent, but follow the manufacturer's instructions.
No water jet from the nozzle of the pressure washer &gt; check if the nozzle itself is not clogged - if this is the case, clean or replace it. Also check if the water mains tap is correctly opened and that there is no problem in the flow of the suction hose.
<h2>WHAT TO DO IF THE PRESSURE WASHER DOESN'T REACH PRESSURE</h2>
One of the most common problems is the pressure washer’s failure to&nbsp;reach the maximum pressure. The causes, in this case, may be different: let us see what they are and the solutions.
<ul>
<li>The pressure regulator is set at a lower pressure value than the wanted one:
<ul>
<li>Set the regulator to the maximum pressure position</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The nozzle holder head is in the low pressure position:
<ul>
<li>Place the detergent regulator to the correct position</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The nozzle is clogged or damaged:
<ul>
<li>Clean the nozzle from obstructions or replace it&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The water supply is insufficient:
<ul>
<li> Check if the water tap is fully open and the water mains’ flow rate complies with the instruction manual.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Now you know all the malfunctions/troubles that a pressure washer may encounter and you know how to solve them: all you have to do is follow all the precautions and learn the methods to troubleshoot them, and cleaning with your pressure washer will no longer have any limits.

Water hardness for the pressure washer: a crucial value

To safeguard the pressure washer and for optimal cleaning, you must be very careful about the hardness of water

WATER HARDNESS FOR THE PRESSURE WASHER: A CRUCIAL VALUE

The <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/pressure-washers" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pressure washer</a> is among the most effective tools for cleaning most spaces and surfaces. To work at the top, however, you need some precautions: among these is the right water hardness.

There is, in fact, a wide range of accessories for pressure washers, each of which is suitable for different uses and applications. A vast and detailed range of specific accessories for home and professional pressure washers, indispensable for a guaranteed result in every single use.
The right choice will allow you to increase the power and efficiency of the jet of your pressure washer, but also to respect the most delicate surfaces and materials. In addition, with the addition of certain accessories, your pressure washer will become a tool capable of performing more complex operations than just washing.
Let's see, then, what the main accessories are, when and how to use them.
<h3><a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/pressure-washers" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DISCOVER COMET PRESSURE WASHERS</a></h3>
<img src="https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0017.jpg" alt="DSC_0017" width="600" loading="lazy" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto;">
<h2>WHAT IS WATER HARDNESS</h2>
As a liquid, water cannot be materially hard. The hardness of water, therefore, is an idea related to the minerals contained therein, which can produce residues harmful to the materials where they are deposited.
Water hardness, therefore, means the total content of calcium and magnesium ions, as well as any other heavy metals, present in the water itself. These substances are present because, as it flows from the source, to the rivers, to the aqueducts, the water comes into contact with mineral substances which, when they reach high concentrations, produce the formation of limescale and the incrustations so dangerous for household appliances (such as irons, coffee machines, washing machines, washer-dryers, dishwashers) and professional machinery such as pressure washers. The solution is to use a limescale remover: this is a chemical product which, however, does not solve the problem definitively and increases the emission of pollutants into the environment.
<img src="https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0089.jpg" alt="DSC_0089" width="600" loading="lazy" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto;">
It is even worse when, instead of limestone, heavy metals dangerous for the environment and for human health are present in the water, in excessive concentrations, causing even serious intoxications. We are talking about mercury, cadmium, chromium and lead: these elements contaminating human beings through water, air and food, may cause neurological, genetic, tumoral and fatal pathologies. Unlike limestone, unfortunately, there is no solution capable of reducing these substances when, unfortunately, they manage to contaminate water.
Depending on the mineral content, a distinction is made between hard water and soft water, with different levels of quality. Hardness is usually expressed in French degrees and is indicated by a capital F (not to be confused with degrees Fahrenheit, which is a measure of temperature). One degree F represents 10 milligrams of calcium carbonate present in one liter of water.
<ul>
<li>From 0 to 7 degrees F we have very soft water</li>
<li>From 8 to 17 degrees F we have soft water</li>
<li>From 15 to 24 degrees F we have water of medium hardness</li>
<li>From 25 to 32 degrees F we have quite hard water</li>
<li>From 33 to 42 degrees F we have hard water</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">From 42 degrees F upwards we have very hard water</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;Let's see, therefore, what water hardness means for pressure washers and not only.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
<h2>HARD WATER DAMAGES</h2>
Hard water is mainly responsible for limescale. Since it is mainly composed of calcium and magnesium, limescale deposits persistently in pipes and on surfaces, including those in pressure washer systems and those that are washed with pressure washers.
<h3><a href="/cleaning-en/water-hardness-pressure-washer-crucial-value" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;" target="_blank">READ MORE: HOW TO BEST USE YOUR PRESSURE WASHER</a></h3>
Hard water has a negative effect on the washing process, even more so if a detergent is used together with water. The molecules making up the detergent, in fact, combine with the calcium ions present in the water, forming non-soluble compounds which, in addition to increasing the amount of detergent required, are harmful to the boiler coil due to their corrosive and encrusting action.
In order to fix the problem from its very beginning, and not to get stuck with the pressure washer or other machines, the most efficient and immediate solution is the use of a salt water softener. This is an instrument that reduces the hardness of water by significantly lowering its calcium and magnesium content.
<h2>THE SOFTENER AND OTHER SOLUTIONS AGAINST HARD WATER</h2>
Let's see, then, how the salt water softener works.
Intercepted at the source, the water is made to pass through a container filled with saline solutions capable, through their molecular charge, to deprive the water of the limestone present inside. A result that can be obtained, however, provided that the softener is frequently refilled with salt.
If you use a pressure washer with very hard water without "blocking" the limescale at its source, you may find limescale residues - in the form of small stains or large white marks - on the washed surfaces. Nothing serious if immediately removed; otherwise they could become dangerous incrustations for oxidizable materials.
In the case of hot water pressure washers, you also have to think about safeguarding another fundamental component of the machine: the heating element. Hot water pressure washers, in fact, are equipped with a coil that heats the water pumped by the pistons to make it come out of the nozzles at a temperature that can dissolve difficult dirt, such as grease and oil. In these cases it is advisable to have an anti-scale device that reduces the risk of scale formation on the heating element.

Now that you know all the risks linked to water hardness, it is good practice to check the quality of the water that comes from your tap and, in the case of water that is not very soft, follow these little tricks to get the best results from your pressure washer and to extend its life.

Cleaning your bike: it’s easier and faster with a pressure washer 

CLEANING YOUR BIKE: IT’S EASIER AND FASTER WITH A PRESSURE WASHER

A nice mountain bike trip is the best way to keep fit and immerse yourself in nature but, before storing it back in the garage, it is convenient to wash it carefully: discover how easy it is to clean your bike with a <a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/pressure-washers" rel="noopener" target="_blank">pressure washer</a>.

The bike, especially if fitted with electric motors and pedal-assisted systems, is becoming an increasingly popular passion, also promoted by a lot of city bike paths and dedicated routes in the countryside and mountains. This environmentally friendly means of transport, suitable to everyone, allows you to have fun in the city and completely immerse yourself in nature along paths you cannot reach by motor vehicles.
After a trip on a dirt or muddy path, however, the bike is covered with dust and mud that must be removed immediately, both to avoid damage to the vehicle and its components and not to dirty the garage or shed where you keep it.
Contrary to what you would do with a car or a motorcycle, you do not take the bicycle to a car wash; at the same time, however, it is not as easy and fast as you think to wash it at home with running water and a sponge: the best choice is to use a pressure washer complete with all its accessories.
<h3><a href="https://comet-cleaning.com/en/pressure-washers/cold-water" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener" target="_blank">DISCOVER COMET PRESSURE WASHERS FOR WASHING BICYCLES, CARS AND MOTORCYCLES</a> AT HOME</h3>
<h2>WHEN TO WASH YOUR BIKE</h2>
If you use a bicycle on a daily basis, for example to go to work from home, you will be accustomed to parking it on the street and outdoors: this involves exposure to dust and weather depositing micro-debris on metal and mechanical components that may cause corrosion and accelerate wear. It is advisable, therefore, to wash your bike periodically, as well as to carry out the routine maintenance.
<img src="https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/AE9I6879.jpg" alt="AE9I6879" width="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
If, on the other hand, you use the mountain bike for more “extreme” practices or for "off-road" trips, it is a good idea to wash it every time you “return to the pits”, just like a sports vehicle which is maintained at the top of its performance.
These inconveniences can be avoided by using, in a few minutes, a home or semi-professional pressure washer to wash our favorite “two-wheeled vehicle”.
{{cta('d44289e9-72e2-4974-ba77-38dc6bd8f870')}}
<h2>HOW TO WASH YOUR BIKE WITH A PRESSURE WASHER</h2>
The models of pressure washers dedicated to bike washing have an adjustable water flow and jet in order not to damage the most sensitive components. A fundamental premise to be made, however, is for electric bikes: avoid directing the jet directly on the electronic parts since they are not waterproof, remove them if possible or protect them from the jet of water.
It is equally important to keep in mind that you are not working with a simple garden hose, but with a jet that delivers a much greater force, so keep a distance of at least one meter from the bicycle, after having positioned it well on a solid stand, against a wall or directly on the ground, so that it does not fall suddenly. Also make sure that water and mud splashes do not end up against people or objects around the washing area.
<img src="https://f.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0022-2.jpg" alt="DSC_0022-2" width="842" loading="lazy" style="width: 842px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
Make an initial general wipe down with water, using a flat jet nozzle on wheels, saddle and frame to remove the surface dirt and moisten already dried soil. Be more gentle on hubs, gears, handlebars and brake and shift levers.
At this point you can use the detergent: there are models of pressure washers equipped with special tanks that deliver the cleaning product in an integrated manner, both liquid and foamy, so you can dissolve the dirt more effectively.
You can then use lances provided with special brushes that rinse and remove the most difficult dirt, without damaging surfaces and materials. If debris remains stuck between the wheel blocks, you can increase pressure or move closer with the nozzle, also using a pointed jet.
<h2>AFTER WASHING</h2>
In a few minutes and without any effort, your bike will be perfectly clean. Be careful not to leave water deposits that could oxidize the bike, if necessary use a cloth or an air compressor to push the water away.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
Then proceed to any greasing and minor maintenance: you can do this without getting dirty and having in full view every inch of your bike. When you have stored the bike in the garage, you can use the pressure washer to quickly clean the washing area from any mud that may have remained on the ground.
Now that you've discovered how easy it is to clean your bike with a pressure washer, you can find out how convenient it is to wash your car, garden furniture, yard floor and all the benefits of this tool as well.

Sweepers and scrubbers also fall under Industry 4.0: let’s find out, then, which products promote technological and digital transition.

How a floor sweeper works

These machines clean floors quickly and flawlessly of dust and small debris in just one go:  let’s find out what professional sweepers look like and how they work.

HOW A FLOOR SWEEPER WORKS

Let’s find out how sweepers work as they are ideal for professionally removing dust and debris from floors of all kinds, both indoor and outdoor. From their constituent components up to the different available types, in this article we will look at all the details of these efficient tools.

Fast, efficient, easy to use and effortless for those operating them, sweepers are the ideal tool for cleaning the ground in no time at all, even for the largest surfaces, while removing dust, soil and coarse debris in any condition and on a variety of materials: concrete, asphalt, resilient materials or plastics. That is why they are used in every sector: from schools, hospitals, public buildings, shopping malls, <a href="/cleaning-en/warehouse-cleaning-vacuum-cleaners-sweepers-scrubber-dryers-valuable-allies" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">warehouses</a> and industries to larger areas such as ports, airports, and roads.
Conventional tools cannot hold a candle to them: cleaning even a few square meters with a broom and dustpan takes several minutes and one is forced to pick up dirt and empty it into the bucket dozens of times, raising dust and not accomplishing thorough cleaning.
A professional sweeper, on the other hand, accomplishes perfect cleaning in one go and in just a few moments, without having to return to the same spot several times. How is this possible? We will find out in this article.
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
<h2>WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF A SWEEPER</h2>
A professional sweeper is composed of a large number of components, which can be divided into 5 main groups:
<ul>
<li>Sweeping system;</li>
<li>Vacuum system;</li>
<li>Filtering system;</li>
<li>Waste container;</li>
<li>Emptying system.</li>
</ul>
The combined action of these units, therefore, enables fast, precise and effective cleaning of floors. Let’s now take a detailed look at the elements making up the groups listed above and how they make the sweeper work.
<h2><img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/spazzatrice%20comet%20spazzole%20laterali.jpg" width="842" height="598" loading="lazy" alt="spazzatrice comet spazzole laterali" style="width: 842px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"></h2>
<h2>MECHANICAL-VACUUM CLEANING</h2>
The fundamental principle of the sweeper’s operation and effectiveness is its mechanical-vacuum cleaning system, implemented by the combined action of the sweeping system and the vacuum system.
The sweeping system, in fact, consists of two side brushes - composed of bristles made of natural or synthetic fiber or mixed with steel - that, once the sweeper is operated, rotate and, as they pass over the floor, convey dirt to a roller brush located in the central part of the machine.
At the same location is the vacuum system, which is a suction fan, driven by a turbine, that causes a vacuum in the waste container thus generating the suction of dust and debris conveyed by the brushes. At this point, the filtering system switches on consisting of filters of various materials, e.g. cartridge, bag or panel filters; these filters separate the dirt (which ends up in the waste container) from the air, which thus returns to the environment filtered and clean through an outlet. The most advanced sweepers are also equipped with a filter shaker that helps the filter stay free of dust, and thus more effective.
When the work is done, the emptying system operates to release what has been collected into the appropriate containers for disposal: it can be manually or mechanically activated and, for the most updated models, is equipped with a hydraulic system for lifting the container and automatically unloading it at height.

<h2>RIDE-ON AND MAN-BEHIND MODELS</h2>
Depending on the way they are driven, we can distinguish between ride-on and man-behind sweepers.
The man-behind sweeper - more compact and maneuverable and suitable for narrow and less extensive spaces - is propelled by an operator who walks behind the machine and operates it by means of a handle.
<h2><img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/spazzatrice%20comet%20uomo%20a%20terra.jpg" width="842" height="561" loading="lazy" alt="spazzatrice comet uomo a terra" style="width: 842px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;"></h2>
<h3><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/push-series-sweepers/" rel="noopener">DISCOVER COMET MAN-BEHIND SWEEPERS</a></h3>
Ride-on sweepers, on the other hand, are similar to small vehicles in that they are equipped with a seat for the operator, a driver's station with a steering wheel, pedals and knobs for maneuvering, and a drive system connected to wheels. This model is suitable for cleaning large spaces requiring more working time: therefore, compared to the man-behind model, it is more powerful and offers higher output and longer operating time. It undoubtedly reduces operator effort even further, carrying the operator comfortably on board instead of walking to push the machine.

<h2>POWER SUPPLY</h2>
Sweepers, as we have said, are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Depending on the environment in which they are to be used, however, the most suitable power supply must be chosen.
Sweeper engines, in fact, can be either petrol or diesel-powered or battery-electric. The former, as can be guessed, emit exhaust gases that are incompatible with indoor use. The latter, on the other hand, are totally emission-free and certainly less noisy, perfect for sweepers to be used indoor.
In any case, whichever type you choose, you can be sure that you will get flawless cleaning and, whatever the area in which you need to use it or the frequency of cleaning required, you will be able to sweep your floors in no time and effortlessly.

Professional pressure washers: the new Scout by Comet compared with the first generation of machines

Scout twenty years later: let’s compare the new model of one of the most popular semi-professional pressure washers in Comet’s cleaning range to find out in detail what the innovative upgrades and all the new benefits are.

PROFESSIONAL PRESSURE WASHERS: THE NEW SCOUT BY COMET COMPARED WITH THE FIRST GENERATION OF MACHINES

The new version of the Scout semi-professional pressure washers has innovated one of the best-known and most popular models in Comet’s cleaning division.
To appreciate their new benefits even better, this article will compare the 2023 and 2004 versions of these efficient home and professional cleaning machines.
In fact, it was almost twenty years ago that Comet first launched this <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/red-series-water-cleaners/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">hot-water electric pressure washer</a> on the market, which was so practical, handy and versatile that it soon became one of the flagship products in the brand’s cleaning range, recommended for both home and professional cleaning and work environments.
We have already discussed the design, ease of use and high performance of the new Scout and Scout Evo in a separate article on our blog; now, if you want to find out all the details:
<h2>READ HERE: <a href="/cleaning-en/the-new-scout-semi-professional-pressure-washer-by-comet" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">THE NEW SCOUT SEMI-PROFESSIONAL PRESSURE WASHER BY COMET</a></h2>
In this new article, however, we wish to compare the models of the first version - <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products-category/scout/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">Scout 135 and Scout 150</a> - with those of the new one, so that we can appreciate in detail all the improvements Comet has made.
{{cta('d44289e9-72e2-4974-ba77-38dc6bd8f870')}}
<h2>THE BENEFITS OF THE NEW SCOUT MODELS: REVAMPED DESIGN</h2>
Let’s start with the first and most obvious change: the look. Since 2004, in fact, Scout semi-professional pressure washers had undergone only minor restyling and were, therefore, aesthetically dated.
The new Scout washers, on the other hand, come with a completely revamped and modern look, a design that perfectly mixes bold and rounded lines to enhance the compactness and aggressiveness of the machine.
The colors and side grooves on the casing, the honeycomb grille on the front as well as the wheels create a family line that is more updated and aligned with the features of the current market.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/pompa%20scout.png" width="649" height="552" loading="lazy" alt="pompa scout" style="width: 649px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
<h2>MORE POWERFUL PUMPS</h2>
The most important plus, however, is what you get on performance. If the old Scout washers mounted a 9 l/min - 150 bar and 10 l/min - 135 bar KSR axial pump, while the new Scout models come in 2 different versions:
<ul>
<li>KSR axial pump 9 l/min - 150 bar</li>
<li>LW-K 250 triplex pump 10 l/min - 160 bar</li>
</ul>
<h2>PRACTICAL AND COMPACT</h2>
Scout and Scout Evo have retained one of their most valued features: compactness, which has always been superior to models in the same category.
Size remains a strong plus:
<ul>
<li>Width 57 cm</li>
<li>Height 89.5 cm (with handle)</li>
<li>Depth 82 cm</li>
</ul>
To further increase practicality, the fixed handle has been replaced with a removable handle allowing its height to be reduced to only 75 centimeters.
Because the handle can be easily removed, the new Scout models have small dimensions and can be easily transported in a station wagon, SUV or minivan.
Functional space inside the machine has also been improved, with greater accessibility to the motor pump and other internal components to promote head maintenance jobs.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
<h2>LARGE WHEELS, ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS</h2>
The first version of the Scout pressure washers was not equipped with any protection. Now Comet has added protective bumpers on both the front and back of the machines. In addition to shielding against impacts, the bumpers also serve as an anchoring point for lifting straps.
Maneuverability – which was already good, thanks to the 260-millimeter-diameter rear wheels - was improved by replacing the brake-free front wheels with new pivoting, brake-equipped wheels.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/comet%20scout_portalancia.png" width="800" height="396" loading="lazy" alt="comet scout_portalancia" style="width: 800px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
<h2>DETAILS AND ACCESSORIES</h2>
It is the details that make the new Scout models even more excellent and practical pressure washers to use in all conditions.
The built-in diesel tank with cap now has a removable filter, while the detergent tank - which before was built in the lower casing - is now 3.5-liter, removable and easy to access; in addition, detergent can be sucked in directly from the external tank.
As for the lance holder, double rubber-backed rings have been fitted in the new versions, which greatly increase stability.
The GH 251 spraying gun, previously found on all models, was joined by the GH281 spraying gun with pressure regulator on the Scout Evo.
Finally, Wika new professional glycerin-filled pressure gauge enables more accurate and reliable pressure measurement.

{{cta('d44289e9-72e2-4974-ba77-38dc6bd8f870')}}
<h2>SCOUT AND SCOUT EVO</h2>
Scout has always been one of the flagship products in Comet’s cleaning range: a practical and handy hot-water electric pressure washer, suitable for a wide variety of applications, from home to vehicles, up to professional and working areas cleaning.
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/red-series-water-cleaners/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">LET’S DISCOVER COMET RED SERIES PRESSURE WASHERS</a></h3>
In 2004, when this line was launched on the market, 2 models were created: <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products-category/scout/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">Scout 135 and Scout 150</a>, mainly characterized for being equipped with a three axial-piston electric pump by Comet arranged horizontally with pump at the bottom and all-metal construction, with no plastic material in the structural components and brass head.
Almost two decades later comes the new generation: Scout and Scout EVO.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/comet%20scout_design.png" width="649" height="428" loading="lazy" alt="comet scout_design" style="width: 649px; height: auto; max-width: 100%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
<h2>NEW DESIGN, MORE COMPACTNESS</h2>
Scout and Scout Evo come with a new, more modern look that perfectly combines punchy and rounded lines to enhance its compactness and aggressiveness. There are grooves on the sides, while the front honeycomb grille and wheel covers recall the family line of the latest Comet models.
Among the most improved pluses, however, is compactness: its small size makes Scout a super-compact pressure washer that is easy to store anywhere after cleaning operations:
<ul>
<li>Height 89.5 cm (75 cm without handle)</li>
<li>Width 57 cm</li>
<li>Length 82.5 cm</li>
</ul>
<h2>THREE TIMES EASIER</h2>
In addition to the restyling, Comet also worked on the structural features making Scout a semi-professional pressure washer that is easy to move, transport and maintain.
Large rear wheels - with 260 millimeters in diameter - and a front castor wheel with brake make it easy to move around during the cleaning operations.
The easy removable handle reduces Scout’s overall dimensions, allowing it to be carried even in station wagons, SUVs and minivans.
Simplified maintenance as well, thanks to the improved access to internal components, easier care of the motor pump, removable 3.5-liter detergent tank and external tank suction option.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
<h2>ROBUST AND HIGH-PERFORMING</h2>
Made of sturdy tubular steel construction and equipped with front and rear protective bumpers, the new Scout semi-professional pressure washers were designed by Comet to perform even better than the previous models.
Scout is equipped with a KSR Comet motor pump with 3 axial pistons and brass head, which is very reliable and long-lasting, the true driving force behind this model for years.
Scout EVO, on the other hand, is equipped with an LWR-K COMET self-priming pump with all-ceramic triplex pistons, brass head, oil level sight glass and built-in valve. These features take this model to a higher level than its peers.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/comet%20scout_portalancia.png" width="800" height="396" loading="lazy" alt="comet scout_portalancia" style="width: 800px; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">

Vacuum cleaners: how to choose the right one for your job

Vacuum cleaners are a valuable aid for cleaning your professional environment: let’s find out all their uses and benefits.

VACUUM CLEANERS: HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOUR JOB

A vacuum cleaner is the best tool for cleaning up dirt and waste which are produced in a work environment: let's find out in this article the features and advantages of its use.
<h3></h3>
At home we use vacuum cleaners to clean our rooms of dust or crumbs. Similarly, with a professional vacuum cleaner we can very quickly remove dirt and coarse debris from<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/floor-care/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;"> floors and surfaces in our work environment</a>.
This is an easy operation that avoids the fatigue and injury risks associated with manual cleaning, while preventing further hazards: with some of these machines, in fact, if specially provided, toxic and harmful fine dust as well as acidic and alkaline liquids or industrial oils can also be sucked up that could be dangerous if dispersed into the work environment.
In this article we will, therefore, give an overview of professional vacs and see how they can be used, both indoors and outdoors, in any sector: supermarkets, schools, hospitals, gyms, hotels, cafés and restaurants, offices, machine shops, factories, artisan workshops, carpentry shops, small manufacturing businesses, construction sites and industrial plants.
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">HOW A VACUUM CLEANER WORKS</h3>
A vac works thanks to one or more motors which create an air vacuum to suck in, through a flexible hose, dust, liquids and other particles of various kind, and then to convey and keep them inside a closed collection container.
The main components of a vacuum cleaner are:
<ul>
<li> Head: consisting of one or more electric motors which rotate to create the vacuum effect necessary to suck up the waste into a collection container.</li>
<li> Filtering system: thanks to filters of various types - bag, fabric, cartridge - this is the component that separates dry dust from air, holding the former to return clean dust-free air back into the room.</li>
<li> Collection container: made of plastic or metal, it is the casing where the substances sucked in by the machine are collected under vacuum, generally called a drum.</li>
<li> Suction hose: with various diameters and lengths, it is connected at one end to the collection container and handled by an operator to collect dirt. At the opposite end, it is equipped with nozzles of various types to apply depending on the waste to be removed. Some hoses are flexible or provided with a rigid rod for ease of use, while others may be rigid and curved to allow the operator to reach the floor while keeping an upright position.</li>
</ul>
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0160%20copia.jpg" alt="DSC_0160 copia" width="805" height="541" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
In addition, the vacuum cleaners have additional specific features, such as the “overflow” system which, through a certain number of floats, stops suction if there is excess dust and liquid sucked into the container. 
Once turned on, the motor creates a vacuum inside the container: the operator handles the suction hose and brings its nozzle closer to the waste to be removed; the vacuum effect sucks anything inside the hose and holds it in the appropriate container, which will then be emptied to properly dispose of collected dust, liquids and waste.
Finally, to promote its movement and handling from one point to another, the main body of the machine is equipped with wheels. In this way, emptying the collected waste is also facilitated and simplified, thus avoiding unnecessary efforts.
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
<h2 style="font-size: 22px;">THE TYPES OF VACUUM CLEANER</h2>
Vacuum cleaners are mainly divided into:
<ul>
<li> Dust vac: for vacuuming dry dust and fine particles. They can feature a polyester fabric filtering system to reduce dust above 25 microns, while an absolute Hepa filter can achieve 99.99% grade with dust as low as 03 microns. With good vacuuming power and high filtering capacity, they greatly reduce dust dispersion in the room, making them ideal for use in hotels, community spaces, stores, small-medium businesses and offices.</li>
<li> Wet/Dust vac: for vacuuming, along with dry dust, liquids such as water or water residues, acids, alkalis and industrial oils. Their filtering system, therefore, is actually non-operating but is replaced by a safety system which interrupts suction when the collection container reaches a limit filling amount. Wet vacs are by their nature also dust vacs, just equip them with the filters provided. With their high vacuuming power, they are suitable for use in all professional and industrial environments for vacuuming up processing waste. </li>
</ul>
Unlike simple vacuum cleaners - small and with a single-phase or battery-powered motor -, wet/dust vacs are larger in size and powered by one or more single-phase and/or three-phase electric motors.

<h2 style="font-size: 22px;">THE VACUUM CLEANERS FOR THE HORECA AND TRADING SECTORS</h2>
Vacs, as mentioned above, can be used, in a variety of fields. The choice starts, first of all, with the kind and frequency of use, the environment to be cleaned and the type of dirt to be removed. From these parameters, a number of features can be evaluated for the best choice, such as structure and weight, vacuuming power, dirt collection system, type of filters, collection drum material, noise and accessories.
In trading or hospitality sectors, such as hotels, restaurants, cafés or stores, the vacuum cleaner is very useful for removing dust and liquids from the floor or for cleaning carpets and rugs with high frequency. 
In many cases, especially for smaller businesses, one can turn to mid-end vacs.

There are, in fact, vacs with injection cleaning methods and extraction of cleaning liquids, with such vacuuming powers that fabrics are not left wet after cleaning. They are true carpet washers and are ideal for cleaning fabrics and textile materials in general. Other models, on the contrary, can heat the water needed for cleaning while preserving the soundness of the fitted carpet. However, in this case, we are talking about steam generators with a built-in vacuuming function. Besides sucking up dirt, thanks to the steam at high temperatures, they also perform antibacterial and sanitizing actions on all fabrics and surfaces in general.
Also for hotels or restaurants where, for example, stoves and fireplaces are used for heating or cooking, it is very important to know the difference between dust vacs and ash vacs: two machines created for a rather similar purpose and very similar in operation as well, but using the former to clean up ash and soot produced by fireplaces, pellet stoves or barbecues can cause serious and irreparable damage.

<h2 style="font-size: 22px;">THE VACUUM CLEANERS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND INDUSTRY</h2>
Cement dust is impossible to avoid in a building site with excavation, demolition and concrete mixers kneading bags of lime and mountains of sand. In this case, unfortunately, breathing problems for workers are high risk. There are special models of vacuum cleaners for these types of hazardous dust, as well as for sucking in process water, which are sources of pollution and contamination of the environment surrounding the construction sites.
In the metalworking industry, on the other hand, large amounts of metal shavings, solid and liquid processing waste as well as spent oils and acids are produced. These substances are hazardous to the workers’ health, so they should be removed efficiently and frequently. Using a vacuum cleaner for this waste can reduce occupational hazards, reuse lubricants through collection and filtering, improve machine tool cleaning and maintenance and reduce downtime for cleaning operations.
Also common in carpentry and body shops is the dispersion of fine dust, only a few microns in size, which stays in the air for a long time and increases the risk of breathing diseases. There are special regulations governing their removal, but a professional vac is essential to keep carpentries and body shops well cleaned of dust at all times. In these cases, an excellent filtering system, good vacuuming power and the suitable length of the suction hoses are essential to reach every point where dust lurks.

The new Comet CSW 1300 and 1600 DSA sweepers: power, efficiency and comfortable use

Let's discover the new Comet CSW 1300 and 1600 DSA professional sweepers: ideal for cleaning large outdoor areas.

THE NEW COMET CSW 1300 AND 1600 DSA SWEEPERS: POWER, EFFICIENCY AND COMFORTABLE USE

Sweepers are the ideal machines for professionally cleaning floors of dust and debris quickly and effortlessly.

Whatever the type of floor, whatever its extent, the sweeper is one of the best tools for removing, in a short time and without effort, coarse debris and dust. It can be used both indoors (battery models) and outdoors on ceramics, marble, concrete, asphalt, resilient or plastic materials and porcelain stoneware.
The two main types on the market are the man-behind and ride-on sweepers. The ride-on model is the best option for those who have to clean very frequently and over very large areas, such as a parking lot or a warehouse aisle.
A large surface area, in fact, requires longer working time, so a ride-on sweeper is more powerful, with its higher output and longer working time than a smaller “man behind” machine. It’s a significantly more practical tool because the operator is comfortably seated on a seat while operating the machine by means of special pedals, levers and a steering wheel, without the need to walk behind.

<h2>MANEUVERABILITY, EFFECTIVENESS AND VERSATILITY</h2>
In order to let operators work in a short time and without strain, a good sweeper must be maneuverable and effective. Versatility, moreover, is another distinguishing feature of sweepers: a good brand, in fact, must produce sweepers suitable for multiple areas of use, from home use, through the Horeca sector, to large industrial environments.
Comet, for example, has just launched two professional sweeper models dedicated to cleaning large outdoor areas, which are characterized by power, productivity and, at the same time, compactness and high agility of maneuvering.
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
<h2>COMET CSW DSA SWEEPERS</h2>
The new Comet CSW sweepers are available in two versions, both featuring ergonomics, efficiency and power: the Comet CSW 1300 DSA and the Comet CSW 1600 DSA.
The Comet CSW 1300 DSA sweeper is available with either an internal combustion engine or a battery-powered engine.
Its general features are:
<ul>
<li>Sturdy steel structure capable of withstanding accidental collisions</li>
<li>Large filtering surface distributed over 8 cartridge filters with electric filter shaker</li>
<li>Steering angle of 90° (2 m.)</li>
<li>Three-phase traction motor 24V - 1200W AC</li>
<li>115-liter collection compartment</li>
<li>Right/left complete side brush</li>
<li>Maximum drain height 145 cm</li>
</ul>
This is a ride-on sweeper ideal for cleaning large outdoor areas, with a productivity of 9,700 sq m/hour (maximum speed 7.5 km/hour) and a total cleaning width of 1.3 meters (with 2 brushes).
The power it gives off makes it suitable for operating even on surfaces with slopes of up to 20% and, although it expresses its full potential in large areas, it is very compact and easy to maneuver thanks to its 90-degree steering angle.
<div class="hs-embed-wrapper" data-service="youtube" data-responsive="true" style="position: relative; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 0px; max-width: 560px; min-width: 256px; display: block; margin: auto;"><div class="hs-embed-content-wrapper"><div style="position: relative; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JRDLlB2H9zg" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;"></iframe></div></div></div>
&nbsp;
The Comet CSW 1600 DSA sweeper, on the other hand, has the following general features:
<ul>
<li>Cleaning large areas from 19,000 sq m/h</li>
<li>Central brushes</li>
<li>Right side floating brush</li>
<li>Dust control by means of the filtering system</li>
<li>Polyester bag filter</li>
<li>Electric filter shaker</li>
<li>Closed-loop hydraulic traction</li>
<li>Hydro steering on the rear wheel</li>
<li>Green water-repellent filter (optional) providing high filtration down to 1 micron</li>
</ul>
In contrast to the 1300 model, in addition to the solely internal combustion engine, it has a larger sweeping track, 1,600 meters to be precise; consequently, it ensures higher hourly output under standard conditions: 19,000 sq m/h instead of 9,200 sq m/h.
<div class="hs-embed-wrapper" data-service="youtube" data-responsive="true" style="position: relative; overflow: hidden; width: 100%; height: auto; padding: 0px; max-width: 560px; min-width: 256px; display: block; margin: auto;"><div class="hs-embed-content-wrapper"><div style="position: relative; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LthulLsHP9w" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;"></iframe></div></div></div>
&nbsp;
<h2>THE AUTOMATIC OVERHEAD DRAIN</h2>
Among the features of these two new sweepers is the automatic overhead drain, a mechanism that pulls out and lifts the dirt collection compartment (115 liters for the CSW 1300, 490 liters for the CSW 1600) to the height required (up to 145 centimeters) to empty it conveniently and directly into a dumpster.
The operator only needs to operate the mechanism by 2 push-buttons and activate the opening of the collection drawer door with a third control, once the draining position has been reached.
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
&nbsp;The overhead drain has several advantages: 
<ul>
<li>Reduces operators' effort in lifting excessive weights</li>
<li>Sweepers can work faster, without having to stop in order to empty the container manually, covering a larger area in a shorter time</li>
<li>Improves the cleanliness of spaces by preventing dust dispersion when discharging debris</li>
<li> By increasing the draining frequency, dust accumulation inside the machine is prevented, maintenance is reduced and the life of the sweeper is extended</li>
</ul>

<h2 style="font-size: 22px;">ROBUST AND SAFE</h2>
The new Comet CSW DSA sweepers are equipped with a sturdy, shockproof steel frame. 
&nbsp;They are easily inspected, both in the engine compartment and in the filter area. The large filter area, moreover, is distributed over 8 cartridge filters with an electric filter shaker and pocket filter is also available upon request.
&nbsp;Finally, great attention is also paid to safety, with an automatic emergency stop system that is activated when the operator gets up from the driver’s seat.

Sweepers are the ideal machines for professionally cleaning floors of dust and debris quickly and effortlessly.

Steam generators: precautions and maintenance

Proper maintenance allows getting higher performance and extend the life of professional steam generators.

STEAM GENERATORS: PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

If you have purchased a steam generator for cleaning and sanitizing surfaces and floors in a home or professional environment, here are some tips on its correct operation and periodic maintenance jobs, which are essential to keep its efficiency at the maximum and to solve any problem.

<h2>GENERAL PRECAUTIONS</h2>
As with any machine, before using a steam generator, it is always a good idea to read the instruction manuals and comply with all safety regulations. Do not use, for example, the equipment under the influence of remedies, drugs or alcohol. Steam generators are not intended for use by children or persons whose physical, sensory or mental abilities are reduced.

{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}} 
&nbsp;
<h2>ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF THE STEAM GENERATOR</h2>
Regular maintenance is the best investment in extending the life of your steam generator, keeping its efficiency high and avoiding the occurrence of damage that is costly to repair.
<h3><a href="/cleaning-en/professional-steam-generators-effective-environment-friendly-choice" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">DISCOVER HOW A STEAM GENERATOR WORKS</a></h3>
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_00001-1.jpg" alt="DSC_00001-1" width="600" height="411" loading="lazy" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
Let's see, then, when, how often and how the maintenance of a steam generator has to be done.
After each use, clean the outside with a damp cloth after letting the machine cool down, since the generated steam may deposit moisture and residue on the machine. To avoid internal deposits, on the other hand, the tank must be rinsed thoroughly.
Every week, however, it is necessary to clean the pipes, lances and related nozzles that are used to work on surfaces and floors, so as to prevent the sedimentation of limescale.
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
<h2>TROUBLESHOOTING THE STEAM GENERATOR</h2>
Carrying out proper maintenance periodically keeps the efficiency of your steam generator high and prevents the occurrence of damage that is costly to repair. It may, however, happen that unforeseen incidents arise due to carelessness, but also to simple wear and tear, technical problems or malfunctions that can be solved by simple operations on your own, while others require addressing authorized service centers.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSG-1015182130%20EX.png" alt="DSG-1015182130 EX" width="600" height="600" loading="lazy" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
In case of technical problems or malfunction of the steam generator, here is what to do.
If the steam generator does not start, make sure the switch is properly pressed in and the plug is properly connected to a power outlet.
If a drop in pressure is detected when using the steam generator, it could be due to deposits building up inside the boiler: if so, empty the boiler via the drain cock to flush them out.
If, on the other hand, there is a poor flow rate in steam delivery, it could be caused by a blockage of the outlet nozzle: simply clean the outlet nozzle with the special pin provided when you purchased the steam generator.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSG-5.08.0%20EX.png" alt="DSG-5.08.0 EX" width="600" height="600" loading="lazy" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
If, unfortunately, the generator does not produce steam, it is a sign that some of its elements may be damaged: to avoid further damage, do not take action yourself but address to an authorized service center.

Professional cold-water pressure washers: watch our videos and learn about performance

PROFESSIONAL COLD-WATER PRESSURE WASHERS: WATCH OUR VIDEOS AND LEARN ABOUT PERFORMANCE

In the professional field, cleaning floors, surfaces and tools cannot be done without the use of a cold-water pressure washer. Especially in sectors such as agriculture and dairy production.

The action of the pressurized water jet projected by a professional pressure washer allows for the removal of any type of dirt, even the toughest ones such as mud and soil, which are scattered almost everywhere on a farm.
Stables, sheds, warehouses and yards of a livestock or fruit and vegetable farm, however, cannot afford to let dirt run rampant, as they are subject to so many regulations that set standards and obligations for food quality and cleanliness.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0119.jpg" alt="DSC_0119" width="805" height="537" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
Those who work in these areas know that keeping stables, chicken coops, dairies and warehouses clean unfortunately involves long hours of labor and hard work if one relies on rakes, brooms and shovels to scrape, sweep and pick up the dirt produced by the countryside. That's why the cold-water pressure washer is the best solution to remove all kinds of dirt from any space, even the least reachable with traditional tools.

{{cta('d44289e9-72e2-4974-ba77-38dc6bd8f870')}}
<h2>HOW THE COLD-WATER PRESSURE WASHER WORKS</h2>
Cold-water pressure washers&nbsp;mainly take advantage of&nbsp;water pressure, which is achieved through piston pumps powered by an electric or endothermic motor: the greater the power of the motor, the greater the pressure and the more effective the cleanliness achieved.
The use of&nbsp;top-performing nozzles&nbsp;and&nbsp;chemicals&nbsp;that help dissolve dirt and scale also contributes to a better result. 
The main advantages of using a pressure washer are enormous if compared to the results that can be achieved with a mop and traditional water hose:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li> less time, less effortand&nbsp;deeper cleaning, thanks to the pressure water jet;</li>
<li> water saving&nbsp;up to 75%;</li>
<li> drastic reduction of the use of detergents,&nbsp;thus safeguardingthe environment and&nbsp;ecology.</li>
</ul>
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
<h2>COLD-WATER PRESSURE WASHERS FOR ANIMAL HUSBANDRY</h2>
For a breeder it’s essential to keep pens and livestock shelters clean of droppings and feed debris, to avoid infection and proliferation of germs, bacteria and parasites.
Therefore, a cold-water pressure washer such as the COMET K 250 is great for:
<ul>
<li>clearing the collection lanes of large cattle shelters of liquid wastes, straw and excrement;</li>
<li>cleaning pigs stalls of the manure and mud they spread after razing outdoors;</li>
<li>quickly and easily cleaning sheep, goat or horse feeders of debris before refilling them;</li>
<li>sanitizing chick incubators and egg hatching areas on poultry farms.</li>
</ul>
The Comet K 250 cold-water pressure washer, moreover, is equally useful, quick and effective for easily removing mud and soil from yards, stable walls, greenhouses and warehouses and any other surface with just a few jets.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/K%20250%20Extra.png" alt="K 250 Extra" width="805" height="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/accessories-cleaning/">High-precision nozzles, hose reels and lances </a>make work easier and allow for the removal of dirt that seeps into even the smallest spaces, thus enabling easy and frequent cleaning of machinery and equipment.
Finally, cold-water pressure washers, using specific foaming and alkaline detergents, easily dissolve grease and oil from engines and gears of agricultural vehicles and implements in a short time.

<h2>COLD-WATER PRESSURE WASHERS FOR DAIRIES AND CHEESE FACTORIES</h2>
Livestock farms devoted to dairy production are more concerned with hygiene and cleanliness.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_000012.jpg" alt="DSC_000012" width="805" height="547" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
Especially in intensive livestock farms, speed in operations is critical, for example, to be able to milk hundreds of animals each day without slowing the production of milk to be processed into cheese and other dairy products. Only a professional pressure washer such as the Comet K STEEL XL TS, therefore, can thoroughly clean every nook and cranny of milking parlors in a very short time and with little manpower.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/K%20STEEL%20XL%20TS.png" alt="K STEEL XL TS" width="805" height="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
Equally useful is the use of the cold-water pressure washer in dairy production laboratories, those environments where milk is collected and processed: these must be completely sterile to maintain the high quality of the product and to offer a guarantee of safety to consumers. In these areas, hot water up to 60°C is used to ensure a higher level of cleanliness, which is why our K Steel XL is the ideal machine since it is equipped as standard with a motor pump with seals resistant to water at high temperatures, thus avoiding, as far as possible, the use of chemical detergents.

Comet CRS 85 Evotech sweeping scrubber dryer: sweep, wash and dry in one go

Sweep, wash and dry floors in a single operation: discover the COMET CRS 85 Evotech sweeping scrubber dryer.

COMET CRS 85 EVOTECH SWEEPING SCRUBBER DRYER: SWEEP, WASH AND DRY IN ONE GO

If the sweeper is the most effective machine for removing dust and waste from floors, and the scrubber dryer the most functional one for washing, a sweeping scrubber dryer is the ideal combo for thorough cleaning in one go.

In environments that require frequent floor cleaning, whether indoors or outdoors, it is essential to use machines that do the job in a short time, leaving the surface clean and immediately dry. This is true, for example, in a <a href="/cleaning-en/warehouse-cleaning-vacuum-cleaners-sweepers-scrubber-dryers-valuable-allies" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">warehouse</a>, a <a href="/cleaning-en/cleaning-shopping-malls-discover-secrets-floor-care" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">shopping mall</a> or logistics centers

These areas, in fact, have very extensive flooring and, at the same time, are easy to get dirty due to the high transit of people, goods and vehicles: these factors produce dirt consisting in dust, small debris and coarse waste. For these reasons, these areas need to be quickly cleaned as frequently as they get dirty to leave the passageway clear and effectively to avoid damage, accidents and wasted time.
Compared with traditional brooms, dustpans, buckets and mops, the sweeper and floor scrubber dryer dramatically reduce time and exponentially multiply effectiveness. But they accomplish one operation each (either cleaning or washing), one at a time, also doubling all related costs.

<h2>CRS 85 EVOTECH: THREE MACHINES IN ONE</h2>
The&nbsp;CRS 85 Evotech&nbsp;is a&nbsp;scrubber dryer with a sweeping system which offers the huge advantage of achieving the results produced by 2 machines - sweeping and scrubbing - with just one. It is, basically, a&nbsp;3-in-1 machine,&nbsp;sweeping, washing and drying in just one motion. This is also why it can be called a sweeping scrubber dryer.
The CRS 85 Evotech can remove dust, small solid waste such as pallet shavings, plastic and litter, while washing the floor. By doing so, the cleaning task is done in half the time and, consequently, with half the costs that would be spent with a scrubber dryer and a sweeper separately.

<h2>LET'S SEE HOW COMET'S CRS 85 EVOTECH SWEEPING SCRUBBER DRYER WORKS</h2>
Thanks to the counterclockwise action of a&nbsp;cylindrical brush with adjustable pressure, dust and debris are collected during the floor washing phase. Washing, in turn, occurs with a solution sprayed&nbsp;evenly by the variable delivery nozzles placed near a special washing roller.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/spazzola%20duotech%2008.13.50.jpg" alt="spazzola duotech 08.13.50" width="805" height="713" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
A patented Air Recovery system using compressed air channels the cleaning solution in front of the brush, preventing its lateral leakage and minimizing the amount of solution. Unlike competing machines on the market, in fact, Comet's CRS Evotech uses 500 to 1500 milliliters of cleaning solution per minute, compared to an average amount of 1500 to 4500 milliliters.
The real core of the CRS Evotech is the collection, suction and washing solution system. As it moves, the machine sucks up dirt, debris and washing solution in one go, collecting it all in a compartment and, subsequently, conveying it to a specific collection container. No fear of having to empty the machine frequently: the CRS Evotech debris recovery tank, as well as being easy to pull out, in fact contains up to 30 liters of waste.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/vano%20raccolta%20duotech%2008.13.50.jpg" alt="vano raccolta duotech 08.13.50" width="805" height="536" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
The thin film of water remaining on the ground is immediately and completely removed by the&nbsp;sturdy&nbsp;steel&nbsp;squeegee system&nbsp;and sucked up by a second motor, while the automatic operation of the squeegee and side brushes dries to perfection even in the tightest of turns. Finally, the exhaust air from the two suction motors is conveyed and blown through dedicated side diffusers.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/squeegee%20duotech%2008.13.50.jpg" alt="squeegee duotech 08.13.50" width="805" height="656" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
All functions are managed by the operator with a control panel, organized in a simple and intuitive manner, which communicates various data: working hours, battery charge level, empty tank warning light and forward/reverse traction indicator.
The following controls are available:
<ul>
<li> speed regulation</li>
<li> central brush pressure regulation</li>
<li> automatic height regulation of the floor squeegee for drying</li>
<li> detergent dosing system</li>
<li> horn</li>
</ul>
Driving is easy even in the tightest of spaces, such as hallways, thanks to its turning radius of only 860 millimeters and compact dimensions like those of a man-behind scrubber dryer.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/volante%20duotech%2008.13.50.jpg" alt="volante duotech 08.13.50" width="805" height="591" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
Thanks to the self-leveling central brush, the Evotech is also suitable for uneven surfaces. It can cover a sweeping area of up to 106 centimeters, thanks to the large diameter of the side brushes. The Active system for automatic retracting, both on impact and cornering, allows perfect collection of all material.
Finally, Comet’s CRS 85 Evotech also promises excellent performance in terms of efficiency - thus developing maximum power only when needed - and long working time on routine cleaning - with a battery lasting up to 4 hours - with reduced operating and maintenance costs.

If the sweeper is the most effective machine for removing dust and waste from floors, and the scrubber dryer the most functional one for washing, a sweeping scrubber dryer is the ideal combo for thorough cleaning in one go.

Comet CPS 50: the man-behind scrubber dryer for medium-sized surfaces

Comet CPS 50 is the best man-behind scrubber dryer to clean medium-sized floors: here’s why.

COMET CPS 50: THE MAN-BEHIND SCRUBBER DRYER FOR MEDIUM-SIZED SURFACES

For professional floor cleaning and sanitizing, the most practical and effective tool is the floor scrubber dryer. For smaller areas, moreover, the best choice is a man-behind scrubber dryer.

A scrubber dryer, as its name implies, is a machine designed for the rapid scrubbing and drying of all indoor floors (except carpeting, natural wood parquet and floating floors) or outdoor floors made of non-abrasive materials with even surfaces.
Floors, in fact, are the surface most in contact with dirt every day, especially in high-traffic public places such as stores or shopping malls, where hundreds and hundreds of people walk on a daily basis. In addition to aesthetic reasons, frequently keeping floors clean is important to reduce the spread of bacteria and germs.
Here, then, the scrubber dryer is an indispensable and reliable tool for routine and repeated cleaning of spaces open to the public, since it washes the floor and leaves it soon completely dry and sanitized, automatically and in a single operation.
<h2>HOW A SCRUBBER DRYER WORKS</h2>
A scrubber dryer mainly consists of a scrubbing body and roller discs or brushes (one to four, depending on the model), and is powered by an electric motor connected to an outlet by means of a cable or battery. Brushes and discs are sprayed with a solution of water and detergent as they rotate and clean the floor; immediately behind this component, there is a collection and suction system that “sucks” the dirty water in, aided by a rubber squeegee that leaves no residue on the floor.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0017-4.jpg" alt="DSC_0017-4" width="805" height="554" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
The most important plus of a scrubber dryer machine is to reduce the time spent washing floors by more than half compared to manual mopping with a broom and rag. This is an essential factor, especially if you have to clean areas of several square meters impossible to fence to the public.
In addition, the level of hygiene is significantly higher than traditional mopping: the mop, despite being wrung out, uses the same water several times and contributes to the spread of contaminants instead of destroying them. The scrubber dryer, on the other hand, uses a recirculation of water and detergent that can immediately remove the dirty component and spread only clean solutions onto the floor. Finally, the rotating brushes of the scrubber dryer have a cleaning power hundreds of times greater than those of a man scrubbing the floor with a rag or mop.
An equally important advantage is aesthetics, as the scrubber dryer, unlike hand mopping, does not leave out any space and cleans tiles and joints without stains or marks.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_00181.jpg" alt="DSC_00181" width="805" height="510" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
Another key benefit is safety, since the machinery can work without fencing the area involved and makes the floor immediately walkable, thus preventing dangerous slips and accidents. For example, in the aisles of supermarkets, customers and scrubber dryers coexist without any safety or noise problems, thanks to the quietness that the most modern models can boast.
Finally, an automatic floor scrubber offers significant water and detergent savings: the scrubber dryer, in fact, maximizes the yield of water and detergent - usable in a concentrated manner - with unparalleled comparison: it is estimated that half a liter of solution is needed to wash 10 square meters of floors by hand, compared to the 0.05 liters by a floor scrubber.

<h2>MAN-BEHIND OR RIDE-ON SCRUBBER DRYERS</h2>
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0034-1.jpg" alt="DSC_0034-1" width="805" height="603" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
The scrubber dryer models differ, first of all, in the way they are run. There is the ride-on series, equipped with a seat for the operator and a steering wheel for driving the floor scrubber.
<h3><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/ride-on-series/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">DISCOVER COMET RIDE-ON SERIES FLOOR SCRUBBER DRYERS</a></h3>
There are, then, man-behind models, which are driven from the rear through special handles.
<h3><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/push-series/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">DISCOVER COMET PUSH SERIES FLOOR SCRUBBER DRYERS</a></h3>
The former, bigger and more powerful are better suited for larger areas, while the latter, more compact, are better suited for smaller spaces.
When choosing between the two types, the first assessment to be made is the space to be cleaned. For cleaning large square footage, it pays to choose a ride-on model; if you need instead to scrub small spaces or between narrow passageways, choose the man-behind models which are capable of fitting even a few tens of centimeters.
<h2>THE COMET CPS 50 MAN-BEHIND SCRUBBER DRYER</h2>
COMET CPS 50 is the ideal man-behind scrubber dryer for professional cleaning of small areas, up to 1,500 square meters: an extremely compact scrubber dryer that is particularly suitable for cleaning areas such as car showrooms, retail outlets, gyms and spas.

<h2>THE SCRUBBER DRYER’S MAINTENANCE </h2>
After choosing your scrubber dryer, you should soon realize that proper and frequent maintenance increases its efficiency and extends its life. Here, then, is a brief vade-mecum with timing and essential steps to be taken.
After each use, the recovery tank must be emptied of dirty water and waste liquid. In addition, the batteries need to be recharged, so that the machine is always ready and at full power.
&nbsp;Instead, the following operations should be done every week:
<ul>
<li> Disassembling and cleaning the detergent solution filter</li>
<li> Checking the brush up and down movements</li>
<li> Checking the squeegee up and down movements</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;The following operations, however, should be done every month:
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;Brush general cleaning</li>
<li> Hose cleaning using an anti-scale liquid</li>
<li> Checking the intake hoses and ducts for clogging and obstruction</li>
<li> Checking and cleaning the pivoting wheels</li>
<li> Checking the wear of the driving components</li>
</ul>

Vacuum cleaners: precautions, maintenance and troubleshooting

Proper maintenance allows getting higher performance and extending the life of your vacuum cleaner

VACUUM CLEANERS: PRECAUTIONS, MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

If you have purchased a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and coarse debris from your floors and surfaces, here are some instructions on their correct operation and periodic maintenance jobs, which are essential to keep its efficiency and solve any problem.
<h3></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">HOW A VACUUM CLEANER WORKS</h3>
A vacuum cleaner works thanks to one or more motors which create an air vacuum to suck in, through a flexible hose, dust, liquids and other particles of various materials, and then to convey and keep them inside a closed container.
Depending on its power, a vacuum cleaner can be used to remove solid debris when cleaning either your home or the<a href="/cleaning-en/the-professional-vacuum-cleaners-to-keep-your-workplace-always-clean-and-healthy" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;"> workplace</a>.

<h2>GENERAL PRECAUTIONS</h2>
&nbsp;As with any machine, before using a vacuum cleaner it is always a good idea to read the instruction manuals and comply with all safety regulations. It should be remembered, for example, that vacuum cleaners, both for home and professional use, are not intended for use by children or people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities.
&nbsp;It is also important not to use the machine if the power cable or some important parts are damaged and if there are visible water leaks. Also disconnect the vacuum cleaner from the power mains before servicing.
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
<h2>VACUUM CLEANER MAINTENANCE</h2>
Carrying on routine maintenance is the best method for extending the life of a vacuum cleaner. Let's see, then, how, when and how often to carry out the routine maintenance of a vacuum cleaner.
&nbsp;Each time you use it, you must empty the washing drum by first turning off and unplugging the appliance from the power outlet. After emptying (for the models equipped with the device), make sure that the hooks for the drum/head closure are properly fastened.
&nbsp;Every week the condition should be checked and the tank and filter cleaned, if necessary. In case of breakage, therefore, contact a service center for repair before using the vacuum cleaner again.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0023.jpg" alt="DSC_0023" width="805" height="562" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; height: auto; max-width: 100%;">
Depending on the extent of the problem, we can either take action ourselves to fix the vacuum cleaner or inevitably turn to an authorized service center. Let's see, therefore, what the problems of a vacuum cleaner can be and how to fix them by ourselves.
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
If the vac does not start, check that the plug is properly fitted into the electrical outlet and the switch is firmly pressed in.
&nbsp;If the vac vibrates and is very noisy, it could be due to faulty suction or an overfilled tank. Clean the inlet port of the suction hose and empty and clean the tank.
&nbsp;If the suction power suddenly decreases, it may be due to a clogged filter: stop the appliance immediately, unplug the power cord and clean or replace the filter.
&nbsp;If the vac no longer sucks in, it may simply be due to the drum being completely full: turn off the vac, unplug the power cord and empty the drum.
For more serious problems than those listed so far, contact a specialized center. Now you know all the useful instructions to the proper use of your vac: comply with the maintenance schedule and you will always achieve optimal cleaning as well as extend the life and efficiency of your appliance.

Ride-on sweepers: effortlessly clean floors

Power and comfort: ride-on sweepers collect dust and debris from floors quickly and effectively.

RIDE-ON SWEEPERS: EFFORTLESSLY CLEAN FLOORS

To quickly clear floors of dirt, sweepers are the best tools around.

A professional sweeper is a machine capable of removing coarse debris and dust from floors and other types of surfaces quickly and effortlessly.
Sweepers can be employed in any sector: industries, schools, hospitals, offices, public buildings, shopping malls, ports, airports, etc.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0021-1.jpg" alt="DSC_0021-1" width="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
<h3>WHAT SWEEPERS LOOK LIKE</h3>
Sweepers consist of 5 systems:
<ul style="font-size: 15px;">
<li>Sweeping system: consisting of one or two side brushes that convey the dirt to a roller brush placed in the centre, which collects dust and debris and loads them into the appropriate container. If the waste loading system is located in front of the central brush, it’s referred to as direct sweeping; conversely, if the loading system is located behind the central brush, it’s referred to as indirect sweeping.</li>
<li>Suction system: consisting of a suction fan which, by creating vacuum in the waste container, allows suctioning dust.</li>
<li>Filtering system: consisting of filters of different materials - cartridge, bag or panel - necessary to prevent the sucked dust from being returned into the environment through the air exhaust. The most advanced models are also equipped with a filter shaker - mechanically or electronically operated - useful to free the filter from dust, to remain always clean and effective.</li>
<li>Waste container: this is the compartment where the collected dirt is deposited.</li>
<li>Waste container emptying system, which can be activated manually or mechanically, with a hydraulic lifting system of the container itself.</li>
</ul>
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
<h2>CHARACTERISTICS OF RIDE-ON SWEEPERS</h2>
Ride-on sweepers are equipped with a driver's station and, with their own traction, accommodate the operator who drives them on a special seat.
<h3><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/ride-on-series-sweepers/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">DISCOVER ALL COMET RIDE-ON SWEEPERS </a></h3>
These machines are the best choice for cleaning a large area, such as a parking lot or a supermarket aisle. A large surface area, in fact, requires longer working time, so a ride-on sweeper is more powerful, with higher output and longer working time than a smaller “man behind” machine.
A significantly more comfortable tool in that the operator is comfortably seated on a seat and operates the machine by means of special pedals, levers and a steering wheel, without the need to walk behind.
Ride-on sweepers can then differ according to the type of power supply, battery or gasoline. Obviously, the latter ones are only allowed in outdoor spaces. 
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0046.jpg" alt="DSC_0046" width="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
<h2>THE COMET CSW 1200 B SWEEPER</h2>
Among the ride-on sweepers best suited for medium and large areas is the Comet CSW 1200 B.
The ergonomic seats and top working performance allow cleaning large areas in less time without tiring the operator.

The mistakes not to make if you use a pressure washer

What never to do if you use a pressure washer, main problems and how to solve them.

THE MISTAKES NOT TO MAKE IF YOU USE A PRESSURE WASHER

The pressure washer can be an efficient ally for household and professional cleaning, but it's always essential to know how to operate it and learn its operating instructions well. Even more important, moreover, is being aware of what mistakes should not be made when using a pressure washer.

In the household sector, the pressure washer is very effective for <a href="/cleaning-en/spring-cleaning-easier-convenient-fast-pressure-washer" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">cleaning outdoor areas</a> or for <a href="/cleaning-en/household-pressure-washer-indispensable-cleaning-aid" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">quickly washing cars, bikes, and RVs</a>. In the professional field, then, the pressure washer is a practical tool even in the most unusual sectors, such as <a href="/cleaning-en/professional-hot-water-pressure-washers-outstanding-performance-to-make-your-job-easier" rel="noopener">agriculture</a> or <a href="/cleaning-en/the-pressure-washer-in-the-building-industry-water-to-clean-and-work-on-sites" rel="noopener">construction</a>.
<h3><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/high-pressure-washer/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">DISCOVER THE COMPLETE RANGE OF COMET PRESSURE WASHERS</a></h3>
If, however, it is not used properly, it can result in accidents to people and damage to objects on which the pressure washer is used.
Let's see, then, what to do to use the pressure washer at its best and what not to do to avoid problems.
<h2>GENERAL PRECAUTIONS</h2>
First, read the instruction manual carefully before using the pressure washer, always applying the general safety rules:
<ul>
<li>Do not use the jet of the pressure washer on people or animals</li>
<li>Do not wash electrically live objects with the pressure washer</li>
<li>Do not use the pressure washer on delicate objects and surfaces that could be damaged by the power of the water jet</li>
<li>Do not use the pressure washer if you are under the influence of medicines, drugs or alcohol and do not let children or people with reduced physical or mental capacity use it</li>
<li>For electric motor models, do not use the pressure washer if the power cord is damaged and the machine has obvious water leaks</li>
<li>For internal combustion engine models, do not fuel the pressure washer with inappropriate fuels and do not use it indoors or in spaces where exhaust fumes are close to people, animals or vents</li>
<li>For hot water models, do not let the pressure washer reach temperatures higher than those indicated in the instruction manual, in order to avoid damaging seals and machine components; moreover, do not touch the boiler and other hot components to avoid the risk of burns and scalds, always remembering, after use, to run cold water for a few minutes in order to let the pressure washer cool down; finally, do not use hot water with accessories that do not withstand high temperatures.</li>
</ul>
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0064.jpg" alt="DSC_0064" width="805" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
<h2>THE RIGHT USE FOR THE RIGHT SURFACES</h2>
The first mistake to avoid is when choosing a pressure washer: the right pressure washer is the one best suited for your use.
If you would like to use a pressure washer to remove light dirt from small surfaces, you should not choose a machine that is too large or too powerful that could damage a delicate surface with too strong a jet.
The type of jet you apply, then, must also be optimized for the object and material being cleaned. On pavements, for example, the highest pressures can be used, but the choice of the most suitable attachment can benefit the cleaning by far: for cleaning a large square footage of tile, a patio floor washer can be chosen, while for finishing cleanings such as flower bed curbs, a more precise nozzle will be more suitable. If you plan to use detergents in combination with the pressurized jet, make sure in advance that the materials to be washed are compatible with such products.
{{cta('38dceed0-a2ce-4fb7-922b-16ab539c859f')}}
<h2>ALWAYS CARRY OUT MAINTENANCE</h2>
It's possible to get the utmost results from a pressure washer and to extend its life by carrying out regular and specific maintenance, according to precise times and ways.
At each use, it is essential to check that the hose, spray gun, filter, lances, fittings and power cords are intact, and immediately replace damaged parts or contact a specialized service center for any repairs.
In case of frequent use, it is necessary to check every month that the filters are well cleaned with water and anti-scale detergent. The same must be done with the nozzles, taking care to clean them from scale with the special pins provided, or to replace them.

<h2>HOW TO SOLVE PRESSURE WASHER PROBLEMS</h2>
Failure to perform proper maintenance can cause you to run into some problems: let's see how to solve the main ones yourself, without resorting to a service center.
If no water jet comes out of the nozzle of the pressure washer, check if the nozzle itself is not clogged - if this is the case, clean or replace it. Also check that the water mains tap is correctly opened and that there is no problem in the flow of the suction hose.
If the pressure washer does not deliver hot water (for models producing it), make sure that the boiler tank is well supplied with diesel oil or that its filter is well cleaned (if necessary, clean or replace it). As an alternative, you must operate on the safety thermostat of the boiler, but only after the pressure washer has cooled down for a few minutes to allow the device to be reset.

If the pressure washer does not suction enough detergent (for models featuring it), after simply checking that the regulating knob is fully open and the nozzle head is in the correct position (not in the low pressure position), the detergent suction filter must be cleaned of any clogging. In any case, avoid using a detergent that is too viscous, but follow the manufacturer's instructions.
&nbsp;If the pressure washer vibrates excessively and is too much noisy, it could be due to the water inlet filter: if dirty, simply clean it. As an alternative, vibration and noise could be due to faulty air intake: in this case, check the integrity of the suction circuit and make sure that the ventilation is not obstructed by dust or small debris. Finally, the cause could be an insufficient water supply: therefore, it must be checked that the tap is fully open and that the water mains flow rate complies with the instructions in the pressure washer's instruction manual.
For electrically powered models, if the motor produces an annoying humming noise, it may be due to the improper condition of the electrical system and to any extension cords used to connect to the power.

The pressure washer can be an efficient ally for household and professional cleaning, but it's always essential to know how to operate it and learn its operating instructions well. Even more important, moreover, is being aware of what mistakes should not be made when using a pressure washer.

Professional hot water pressure washers: outstanding performance to make your job easier

Hot water pressure washers are the best tool for effective professional cleaning in environments such as farms.

PROFESSIONAL HOT WATER PRESSURE WASHERS: OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE TO MAKE YOUR JOB EASIER

There are countless uses for a pressure washer in the professional field: pressurized water, in fact, removes all kinds of dirt. In some sectors, it is the hot water ones that provide the best performance, making your job easier.

The choice of a pressure washer is related to the purpose for which it is used and, most importantly, to the type of dirt to be tackled. In some professional fields, such as agriculture, where dirt is anywhere and difficult to remove, simple cleaning with pressurized water is not enough. In these cases, <a href="/cleaning-en/cold-water-or-hot-water-pressure-washers-how-to-choose" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">the hot water pressure washer</a> is the best ally for quick, effective and professional cleaning.
<h2 style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 12pt; padding-left: 0cm;">HOW THE HOT WATER PRESSURE WASHER WORKS</h2>
Compared with cold water pressure washers, hot water pressure washers are equipped with a boiler that allows the water to be heated to a temperature to dissolve grease and oil from hydrocarbons or compounds of plant and animal origin. High-temperature water promotes the dissolution of oil-type dirt and the removal of greasy dirt, such as manure, to ensure compliance with hygiene requirements imposed by laws.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 12pt; padding-left: 0cm; font-size: 22px;">THE HOT WATER PRESSURE WASHER FOR FARMS</h2>
In all sectors of the agricultural and animal husbandry industry, cleanliness has become an indispensable element to be complied with, not least because of the numerous regulations that set precise obligations and quality standards. Keeping stables, poultry houses, dairies and warehouses clean involves long hours of labor and effort. Whereas in the old days, however, it was man who had to scrape, sweep and scoop with rakes, brooms and shovels, today the power of a pressure washer can be used to remove all kinds of dirt from any space, even those least reached by traditional tools.

Therefore, a hot water pressure washer is good for:
<ul>
<li>Quickly and easily clean sheep, goat or horse feeders of debris:</li>

A farmer's main allies are his farm equipment, and every farmer knows how crucial it is to keep his equipment clean to reduce breakdowns and avoid heavy repair costs. That’s why it is very beneficial to use a pressure washer, to keep the implements used in the fields clean at all times.

Cold water, however, is ineffective against grease because it can only disperse the hydrogenated micro-particles that make up oil and grease, but it cannot remove them quickly and thoroughly from surfaces. That is why on agricultural vehicles it is essential to use a hot water pressure washer.
A hot water pressure washer such as the Comet KP PRO is ideal against grease and more difficult encrustations that can form on wheels, mechanical joints and all kinds of surfaces.

Vacuum cleaner, sweeper or floor scrubber dryer? The guide for choosing a machine for floor care in the warehouse

COMET, analyzing the characteristics of vacuum cleaners, sweepers and floor scrubber dryers, will guide us in choosing the most suitable machine for cleaning the warehouse floors 

Together with <a href="https://blog.tuttocarrellielevatori.it/43971/aspiratore-spazzatrice-o-lavasciuga-pavimenti-la-guida-alla-scelta-della-macchina-per-la-cura-del-pavimento-in-magazzino/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">Tutto Carelli Elevatori&nbsp;</a> we&nbsp;have analyzed the characteristics of vacuum cleaners, sweepers and floor scrubber dryers, for a guide&nbsp;in choosing the most suitable machine for cleaning the warehouse floors 
 Floor care in the warehouse, and in general cleaning logistics area, is essential in several respects. Safety and well-being of workers, efficiency of operations, soundness and care of goods, smooth operation of machinery... these are all benefits that can be achieved by thorough cleaning in the warehouse.
Having ascertained that floor care in logistics centers is essential, it is equally important to know how to choose the right tools; first equip yourself with professional tools. Indeed, it is impossible to clean large professional areas effectively and efficiently with brooms and mops.
We will analyze the features of vacuum cleaners, sweepers and floor scrubber dryers, to help us outline a guide for choosing the tool that best suits the different cleaning needs of warehouses. Each warehouse is a case apart. It has different procedures, schedules, goods, machines, type of dirt. However, these features of cleaning machines are useful in all warehouses:
<ul>
<li>User-friendly - No hindrance to operation</li>
<li>No danger to operators</li>
<li>Effective and efficient, clean well and in a short time</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
This is why professionals are increasingly looking for simple and compact machines that can also be used between AGVs, carts and pallet trucks at work. These features are shared by all COMET warehouse <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/floor-care/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">floor care</a> machines: vacuum cleaners, sweepers and floor scrubber dryers.&nbsp;
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
<h2 style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm;">Vacuum cleaner</h2>
The v<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/floor-care/#vacuum-steam" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">acuum cleaner</a> is the first cleaning machine to be used in warehouses when starting to clean. Especially in those warehouses where coarse waste easily forms, and accumulates perhaps in corners, under shelves and in hard-to-reach places.
The vacuum cleaner makes it possible to remove packaging or machining residue of various types, dust, liquid or wet spills... all of which could make the floor slippery and cause accidents. Simply identify the type of residue most commonly found in our warehouse and choose the appropriate vacuum cleaner. COMET's suction solutions are varied and are divided into <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/premum-series/" rel="noopener">Premium Series </a>and<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/professional-series/" rel="noopener"> Professional Series</a>, to please both customers with professional and home needs.
The COMET range then consists of vacuum cleaners with dual functions, both vacuum cleaners&nbsp;for sucking up dry dust and fine particles, and liquid vacuums that also suck up liquid materials and residue.
Some professional vacuum cleaners also have a "carpet cleaner" function, which is ideal for cleaning all textiles and in general rooms where carpeting is present.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm;">Sweeper</h2>
The <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/floor-care/#spazzatrici" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">sweeper</a> is ideal for collecting coarse waste and dust along warehouse aisles or even outdoors. It can be either electrically driven or with an endothermic motor.
&nbsp;
It is equipped with side brushes that convey dirt to the central part of the machine, where there is a roller brush that picks up the dirt and sends it to a special container.
&nbsp;
Sweepers can be man-behind, smaller and more compact suitable for narrow spaces, or man-on-board, characterized by high performance, suitable for larger areas.
&nbsp;
COMET's offer today is comprehensive for every need and every square footage:
<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/push-series-sweepers/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">Push series</a>: 4 different models of man-behind sweepers, suitable for different types and sizes of floors, with two electric and two petrol models.
<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/ride-on-series-sweepers/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">Ride-on series</a>: 7 different models of man-on-board sweepers, suitable for different types and sizes of floors, with 3 electric and 4 petrol models.

&nbsp;
<h2 style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm;">Floor scrubber dryer</h2>
The <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/floor-care/#scrubber-dryers" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">scrubber dryer</a> is used when the cleaning need goes beyond the removal of dirt and debris and deeper washing and professional sanitation are required.
The scrubber dryer allows floors of all sizes and types to be cleaned and dried, thus ensuring cleanliness and safety.
The scrubber dryer is necessarily used on a floor that has been previously swept by a sweeper or other manual systems.
The scrubber dryer works through the mechanical action of rotating brushes combined with the use of water and detergent. The squeegee finally leaves the surface dry.
Floor scrubber dryers, like sweepers, can also be man-behind or man-on-board. The former is to be preferred in smaller spaces and confined areas, while the latter, more powerful, are suitable for large warehouses and logistics centers.
The advantages of scrubber dryer cleaning over traditional cleaning are many. Work time is reduced by as much as 50 percent, allowing cleaning without interrupting the standard activity, optimizing water and detergent consumption and ensuring a high level of cleanliness that is also aesthetically appreciable by the absence of marks and stains.
Also for scrubber dryers, the COMET's range is also divided into 2 major types: P<a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/push-series/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">ush series</a> (man-behind) and <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/ride-on-series/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">Ride-on series</a> (man-on-board) for a total of 11 different models to meet all different cleaning needs.
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
<h2 style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm;">Floor scrubber dryer with sweeping - combo system </h2>
They are special machines, often called combos. They combine both the advantages of floor scrubber dryers and sweepers in just one product. Specifically, at the operational level, they allow in a single wipe to remove dust and coarse dirt and then wash and sanitize the floor with the action of brushes, water, and detergent. Like all floor scrubber dryers, they have a final drying system. They are time-saving machines precisely because of their dual function. In addition they allow saving money since only one machine, instead of two, can be purchased.

Floor sweepers: precautions and maintenance

Proper maintenance allows achieving greater efficiency and extending the life of your sweeper.

FLOOR SWEEPERS: PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

If you have purchased a sweeper, in order to take care of your floors in a home or professional environment, it will be very useful for you to know some pointers on its proper operation and periodic maintenance jobs, which are essential for troubleshooting and to keep efficiency at its highest level.

<h2>GENERAL PRECAUTIONS</h2>
As with any machinery, before using a sweeper, it is always a good idea to read the instruction manuals and comply with all safety regulations. For example, do not use the equipment while under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. Sweepers, whether for home or professional use, are not designed to be operated by children or persons whose physical, sensory or mental abilities are impaired.

<h2>SWEEPER TROUBLESHOOTING</h2>
Carrying out regular maintenance is the best investment in extending the life of your sweeper, keeping its efficiency high and avoiding any damage that is costly to repair.<a href="/cleaning-en/how-to-ensure-the-hygiene-of-floors-with-a-scrubber-dryer" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener"></a>

Let’s see, first of all, when, how often and how a sweeper should be maintained.&nbsp;
After each use, the waste collection tank must be emptied. The batteries should also be recharged so that the machine is always ready and at full power for next use.
The following steps should be taken every week:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li> Removing and cleaning the filter</li>
<li> Checking the wear and tear of traction components</li>
<li> General cleaning of the brushes&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
The following jobs, however, should be performed every month:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li> Checking and cleaning the pivoting wheels</li>
<li>Checking the suction hoses and ducts for clogging and obstruction</li>
</ul>
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
<h2>SWEEPER TROUBLESHOOTING</h2>
As we have already mentioned, periodically carrying out proper maintenance of the sweeper keeps its efficiency high and prevents any damage that is costly to repair. It may, however, happen that unforeseen incidents arise due to, in addition to carelessness, simple wear and tear, technical problems or malfunctions that can be solved with simple procedures independently, while others lead us to turn to authorized service centers.
In case of technical problems or malfunctions, here is what to do.
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
If the sweeper does not start, make sure the key is inserted correctly and in the start position. If the battery connector is disconnected or badly connected, connect the two connectors properly. If the machine is flat, charge the batteries and wait until the charge is completed.
If the sweeper does not move forward, the direction switch lever may have been left in the neutral position: just engage the gear. 
Or, the floor inclination may be too steep and will require manual pushing.
&nbsp;If the brushes do not turn, it may be sufficient to press the appropriate motor switch once more. If they overheat, on the other hand, the brush motor’s thermal protection might trigger: check, then, why and press the reset circuit breaker. Worse, on the other hand, could be if the drive belt breaks, possibly to be replaced; similarly, motor relays or motor itself should be replaced if irreparably faulty.
&nbsp;If the sweeper sucks poorly or does not suck, the suction hose may be clogged and will need to be cleared of any obstruction. If, on the other hand, the suction motor is not receiving power or has burned out, the connections should be checked and the entire motor replaced if necessary.

If the battery charger does not work, it may not be properly connected to the power outlet or to the battery. If, on the other hand, the batteries do not charge or hold a charge, they may be defective: check the battery manufacturer’s use and maintenance manual and, if the problem persists, replace the damaged charger or batteries.
&nbsp;You now have all the information and guidance you need to use your sweeper properly and perform periodic maintenance so that you always get the best results and high standards of cleanliness, thus extending the life and efficiency of your machine.

The new Comet range of floor scrubber dryers with lithium batteries

Clean floors quickly and conveniently: discover the new range of scrubber dryers with lithium batteries

THE NEW COMET RANGE OF FLOOR SCRUBBER DRYERS WITH LITHIUM BATTERIES

When you have to clean a floor in a very short time and in crowded places, a bulky machine can be inconvenient and create problems.

There is no doubt that the best machinery for professional floor washing is the scrubber dryer: a machine capable of operating on any type of interior surface (ceramic, porcelain stoneware, marble, cement, resilient materials, etc.) and in any condition of dirt, quickly and accurately, thus guaranteeing work areas to be immediately and perfectly dry and safe.
The perfect solution for quick, accurate and safe washing, especially for large surfaces and in the presence of people.
<h3><a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/cleaning/floor-care/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">DISCOVER THE COMET LINE DEDICATED TO THE FLOOR CARE</a></h3>
In addition to the classic scrubber dryers with gel or lead acid batteries, Comet has created a new range of models with lithium batteries, always ready to use, with a fast recharge and maximum power.
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_000040.jpg" alt="DSC_000040" width="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
<h2>HOW THE FLOOR SCRUBBER DRYER WORKS</h2>
The scrubber dryer works in any dirt condition, ensuring immediately and perfectly dry and safe working areas. Its operation is based on the work of abrasive rotating brushes, through which a detergent solution is injected: dirt, dissolved in water, is then collected by a squeegee and sucked in by a turbine into a special tank, leaving the floor dry and clean.
Depending on the operation, we distinguish between <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/push-series/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c; font-weight: bold;">man-behind machines</a> and <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products_category/ride-on-series/" rel="noopener" style="color: #fd602c;">man-on-board machines</a>. Compared to traditional cleaning, they allow a reduction in work time of more than 50%, the possibility of operating without fencing the area and an exponential savings in terms of water and detergent.

Matt the Farmer tests the Comet k200 cold water pressure washer

Washing a tractor with the cold pressure washer: the test of the youtuber Matt The Farmer

MATT THE FARMER TESTS THE COMET K200 COLD WATER PRESSURE WASHER

Matt the Farmer is a true influencer for gardening, vegetable garden, forest and farming enthusiasts. In one of his famous videos, he tested the power of the Comet K200 cold water pressure washer.

Matt the Farmer, born Matteo Fiocco, is called the “digital farmer”. In his early thirties, he set up a farm in the province of Brescia, in Cellatica, Franciacorta. A self-taught farmer, he has been posting his video tutorials on social media for a few years now, enjoying huge success on Youtube: over 320,000 followers and more than 40 million views.
An influencer who mainly specializes in equipment testing: including professional pressure washers. 
IIn a video that has nearly 63,000 views, in fact, he tested and gave his impressions of the <a href="https://www.comet-spa.com/products-category/k-200/" style="color: #fd602c;" rel="noopener">Comet K200 cold water pressure washer</a>

Amazed by the power of the pressure washer even upon its unboxing, Matt is thrilled with the professional look of the pressure washer, its sturdy materials, large detergent tank and many accessories in the package. 
Even before “getting into it” with the “unheard-of power”, Matt is pleasantly impressed with the ubiquity of available service centres, accurately listed inside the packaging.

<h2>WASHING A PICKUP TRUCK WITH A COLD WATER PRESSURE WASHER</h2>
<img src="https://5415755.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/5415755/matt2.png" alt="matt2" width="600" loading="lazy" style="width: 600px; display: block; margin: 0px auto;">
The first test performed is washing a small pickup truck completely covered in mud: Matt comfortably moves the pressure washer across the gravel yard, thanks to its large wheels, and sets it down in a horizontal position, adjusts the pressure appropriately “so as not to remove the paint”, connects the water hose and kicks off the washing. 
Thanks to its practical lance, in just a few minutes he can remove mud and soil from the windscreen, dump body and bodywork, reaching even the most awkward spaces between the wheel axles and under the dump body without any problem. 
By adjusting the width and strength of the jet by operating the nozzle, it also sweeps away residues of branches, straw and grass from the interior. Then, by applying the rotating lance provided, it removes even the hardest clay encrustations from the auger with optimal results.
<h2>WASHING A TRACTOR WITH A COLD WATER PRESSURE WASHER</h2>

The second test is carried out on a large tractor that “hasn't been washed since the '60s”, connected to a huge turbine for irrigating wheat, so dirty that you can’t even tell what colour it is anymore.
Housings, platform, wheels, wheel wells and cardan body "filthy with grease" are completely cleaned, in a few minutes, by the “awesome power” of the Comet K200 cold water pressure washer.
Matt the Farmer's opinion of the Comet K200 professional pressure washer is unequivocal: “It's a blast: I love it!".

Comet: from pumps to cleaning, professionalism and sturdiness in floor care as well

Interview to Alessandro Pavoni, Head of Sales in Italy for the COMET Group’s Cleaning Division

COMET: FROM PUMPS TO CLEANING, PROFESSIONALISM AND STURDINESS IN FLOOR CARE AS WELL

With Alessandro Pavoni, Head of Sales in Italy for the COMET Group’s Cleaning Division, we talk about how and why COMET has arrived at floor care and about the added value it is bringing to the professional cleaning sector.

The story told by Alessandro Pavoni, Sales Manager for the COMET Group’s Cleaning Division in Italy, is a beautiful one with many ingredients: business and people, technology and philosophy, history and the future, roots and internationality, foresight and innovation. All set in the Italian entrepreneurial setting, in a virtuous path that touches different sectors of manufacturing, from agriculture to industry, to cleaning.
<img src="https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0051.jpg" alt="DSC_0051" width="805" height="537" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
COMET was established over 60 years ago as a manufacturer of pumps for weed control and spraying. From the agricultural world, as we will see in detail shortly, it then expanded into other sectors, industrial and cleaning. Why? 
It was the market that asked us to do this,” explains Alessandro Pavoni. "Our dealers, enthusiast of the reliability of our historic products in the agricultural field, asked us for a range that would allow them to cover other needs, to satisfy their customers and differentiate themselves on the market. This is how we developed the first pressure washer and then the entire floor care range. Our entry into the cleaning sector, however, deserves further reflection, given the historical period in which we are living. At COMET we strongly believe in cleaning, a specific sector that, as our research shows, is experiencing unprecedented technological development and significant growth in terms of sales".
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
But let’s go back to COMET history to better understand its evolution.
The establishment of COMET dates back to 1959 with the launch of the first pump for the agricultural world. In 1982 the first pump for industry was produced, which led, the following year, to the manufacture of the first pressure washer.
The decisive opening of COMET to floor care, with both indoor and outdoor products, took place with 2 acquisitions: LAVORWASH SPA in 2017 and POLI MOTOSCOPE SRL in 2021. We will talk more about these two acquisitions in a few paragraphs.
In the meantime, let’s have a look at COMET evolution from a point of view of the solutions offered.
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
COMET was established as a company dedicated to professionalism," says Pavoni, "and has always been dedicated to technological research. The fact of offering the market high-level, professional, sturdy and reliable solutions has made solidity and reliability become the brand's own values, a real philosophy and operating method. This is why the market asked COMET, already a leader in the supply of pumps and pressure washers, for a range for floor care that would be characterized by the same quality that characterizes the brand".
And the floor care range was not long in coming and had 2 distinctive features:
<ul>
<li>typical COMET values</li>
<li>an immediately wide and complete range</li>
</ul>
In 60 years of activity, as explained by Pavoni, COMET’s values have become one with its technology. Know-how, methodology and philosophy have taken COMET products to the top in every sector it has approached: agricultural pumps at the beginning, industrial pumps and pressure washers later. Today, COMET is ready to reach the top in the same way with its floor care products.
Floor care has been characterized since the beginning, both for indoor and outdoor, by a very wide range of available machines. Pressure washers, scrubber-dryers, sweepers, home, professional and industrial vacuum cleaners and steam generators.
<img src="https://fs.hubspotusercontent00.net/hubfs/5415755/DSC_0069.jpg" alt="DSC_0069" width="805" loading="lazy" style="width: 805px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block;">
For COMET it was possible to enter a new market with an already wide and consolidated offer thanks to the two strategic acquisitions of LAVORWASH and POLI MOTOSCOPE mentioned earlier. More than simple acquisitions, they turned out to be synergies by combining the strengths of the respective companies: solidity, method, structure and technology on the part of COMET, experience, history in the sector and product range on the part of the acquired companies.
"For COMET, these were two valuable and strategic acquisitions. We are happy to have brought new life to two Italian and historical companies that deserve to continue to make a difference in their sector. The COMET management chose these two companies also because they are Italian, to protect Made in Italy products and our precious know-how, to give continuity and future to the two companies. Thanks to these acquisitions, today LAVOR lives with a renewed technological drive, more solid and recognized, and POLI can look to its future in an international context".
We often talk about innovation and enhancement of Made in Italy, about doing business while also thinking about people and the territory. Stories like this are the proof that "it can be done", that strong and solid companies are also strong because they choose to have values and ethics on which to base all their actions and the market rewards them.

If you have purchased a floor scrubber dryer, to take care of your floors in a home or professional environment, it will be very useful to know some indications on their correct operation and periodic maintenance operations, which are essential to keep its efficiency at the maximum and to solve problems.

If you have purchased a floor scrubber dryer, to take care of your floors in a home or professional environment, it will be very useful to know some indications on their correct operation and periodic maintenance operations, which are essential to keep its efficiency at the maximum and to solve problems.
<h2>GENERAL PRECAUTIONS</h2>
As with any machine, before using a scrubber dryer, it is always a good idea to read the instruction manuals and comply with all safety regulations. Do not use, for example, the equipment under the influence of remedies, drugs or alcohol. These machines, moreover, are not intended for use by children or persons whose physical, sensory or mental abilities are reduced.
<h2>THE MAINTENANCE OF THE FLOOR SCRUBBER DRYER</h2>
Carrying on routine maintenance is the best investment in extending the life of a floor scrubber dryer. Let's see, then, when, how often and how the maintenance of a scrubber dryer has to be done.

After each use, the dirty water and waste liquid recovery tank must be emptied. In addition, the batteries need to be recharged, so that the machine is always ready and at full power.
&nbsp;Instead, the following operations should be done every week:
<ul>
<li>Disassembling and cleaning the detergent solution filter</li>
<li> Checking the brush up and down movements</li>
<li> Checking the squeegee up and down movements </li>
</ul>
&nbsp;The following operations, however, should be done every month:
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;Brushes general cleaning</li>
<li> Hose cleaning with an anti-scale liquid</li>
<li> Checking the intake ducts and hoses for clogging and obstruction</li>
<li> Checking and cleaning the pivoting wheels</li>
<li> Checking the wear of the driving components</li>
</ul>
{{cta('98e8f159-2589-4e89-a50c-b1f7880a77d3')}}
<h2>TROUBLESHOOTING OUR FLOOR SCRUBBER DRYER</h2>
Despite routine maintenance, problems can arise with the use of the floor scrubber dryer: some, due to carelessness or simple wear, can be solved with simple procedures to be carried out on our own, while others lead us to turn to authorized service centers.
If the floor scrubber dryer does not start, we may have simply inserted the key incorrectly. Or, the battery connector may be unplugged or poorly connected, so just connect the two connectors correctly. Just as simply, the batteries may be low: if so, recharge them until fully charged.
{{cta('9c53fe6c-11f7-47fa-a993-29bdf0e133c4')}}
If the floor scrubber dryer does not move forward, however, we may have left the direction selection lever in the idle position: simply engage the gear. Or the slope of the floor may be too steep and will require a manual push up to a flatter level.
If the brushes on our floor scrubber dryer won't turn, we may just need to flip the motor switch. In case of overheating, on the other hand, the brush motor thermal protection may trip: check, therefore, the reason and press the reset circuit breaker. Even worse, however, could be if the drive belt breaks, possibly to be replaced; likewise, motor relays or the motor itself should be replaced if irreparably broken.
If little or no cleaning solution flows out, it could be due to an empty tank: fill the tank with solution, therefore, after emptying the recovery tank. Just as simply, the flow adjustment lever could be half-closed or fully closed, then adjust the solution flow rate as desired. In the worst case, the cleaning solution filter may be clogged and the duct must be cleared by removing excess dirt. Alternatively, the lid of the recovery tank or the cap of the discharge hose of the tank itself may not be closed properly: just close them correctly.
If the scrubber dryer does not suck in, the suction hose or squeegee duct may be clogged and the ducts should be cleared of any obstructions. If, on the other hand, we ascertain that the suction motor is not receiving power or is burnt out, the connections must be checked and the motor replaced, if necessary.

If our squeegee doesn't clean or dry well, the squeegee blades may be worn and, as a result, drag dirt in - just replace or clean them. Or, the squeegee adjustment will need to be corrected.
If the charger does not work, it may not be connected correctly to the mains outlet or to the battery. If the batteries do not charge or maintain their charge, they may be defective: check the battery manufacturer's user manual and, if the problem persists, replace the damaged batteries or charger.
Now you have all the information and guidance you need to use a floor scrubber dryer properly and perform the usual maintenance job, so as to extend its life and ensure high standards of cleanliness.
