Hot water dissolves grease and stubborn dirt, so it is preferable in workshops and on machinery and greasy surfaces. Cold water is enough for ordinary washing of yards, vehicles and facades. The model is chosen according to the pressure and flow rate required by the job. In the IPC catalogue you will find cold water versions such as the PW-C55 and hot water versions such as the PW-H28 or the PW-H101, with flow rates and outputs to compare in the data sheet.

The system uses pure water, treated to remove dissolved salts, which is applied to the surface with a pole and then left to dry without wiping with a cloth. It leaves no streaks or residue, which is useful for windows and facades at height. The HPG, HPE and HPB models differ in size and equipment: compare them in the data sheet. Ask for information on the pole, its length and the water treatment system needed.

The single-disc floor machine washes, polishes or brushes industrial and commercial floors with a rotating disc. The SD 13 and SD 20 versions differ in model and size, so it is best to choose according to the area to be treated. The disc is chosen according to the type of washing and the floor. For a very dirty floor a more aggressive brush is needed. Ask for the data sheet with the working width and the disc speed.

Steam generators produce steam to degrease, sanitise and clean surfaces, even without detergents. They are used in workshops, industrial kitchens and environments where hygiene is required. The SG code followed by the number indicates the model in the range. The steam is at a high temperature, so the operator must use protective equipment and follow the instructions. Check maximum pressure, run time and power supply in the data sheet.

The high-pressure jet can injure the skin and damage delicate materials, so it must never be aimed at people or animals. Use eye and hand protection and keep the lance at a suitable distance from the surface. Do not point the jet at electrical parts, and make sure the hose is intact. Before starting, check that the set pressure is compatible with the material to be cleaned.

Levita dispensers are designed for soap in places such as bathrooms and kitchens. The Inox Plus version has a stainless steel body, while the Mini versions are more compact for small spaces. The touchless dispenser dispenses without contact, useful where you want to limit contact with the surface. The choice depends on the space, how often it is used and the type of soap.

For a yard, pressure washers and sweepers are used, while for a warehouse single-disc floor machines and vacuum cleaners are suitable. Choose the machine according to the surface: the larger the area, the more a sweeper is worth having. The type of dirt, such as dust, oil or mud, guides the choice of washing system. Consider run time, working width and accessibility for maintenance, and compare the models' data sheets.
