pressure washer for the INSIDE of a home?

Question

Hi, is there such a thing as a weaker version or indoors version of a pressure washer but for home interiors i.e. bathrooms, kitchens, corridors????? Thanks

rhh: I stated "a weaker version" of the typical external pressure washer for the reason you mentioned. I know that the external type would create a mess indoors

For those who want to answer this: Please note: I am asking if there is a WEAKER VERSION for indoor use

Answer 1

I have never heard of a pressure washer for the inside of a home. Using a pressure washer outside wouldn't normally create a problem, because the water would just run off, evaporate or soak into the surrounding ground, but in a home that would create a pretty big mess.
Could you be thinking of steam cleaners?

Something like these?

Answer 2

Beware. Most residential pressure washers are made of plastic and don't last long. I bought one, paid a boat load for it, kept it stored out of the weather. One season it worked great, next season first time I used it, it flew apart for no reason, after just sitting in a utility room all winter. If you really want one, buy one that has metal parts where the pressure will be stored, such as the trigger handle. Of course the hose will have to be rubber or something, which is easily replaceable at low cost. It's worth the extra money to not have to buy one every two years. It was a Karcher 1500 PSI, yellow in color. I will buy an industrial one next time or I will not buy one at all.

Answer 3

I don't think they make those things, because it is not necessary. Where do you think the excess water will go? At least the excess water will flow away for the power washer on the exterior.

The interior will take more patients and efforts to clean, use elbow grease.

Answer 4

yes there is. I had one of these:

the only problem that I had was that it left a slight film on some of my furniture and things left uncovered in other rooms of the house. If you're going to do this, my suggestion is empty each room that you are doing and cover everything else.... or do it in an empty house.

Good Luck

Answer 5

You could probably pull the hose from one through a bathroom window and use it on your tub or shower. I have seriously thought about it for my husbands bathroom. But I wouldn't use it on anything else because the water will ruin your baseboards and walls.

Answer 6

Sounds rather messy. If things are so filthy you need to consider pressure washing, you need to either repaint or replace the wallboard.

Answer 7

Probably, try asking some one at Home Depot or Lowe's.

Answer 8

Yeah, its called a hose.
