The Range of STECO Pressure Washer

STECO’s range is designed to meet you where you clean. The re are two categories of pressure washers that STECO caters for. Standard High-Pressure Washers and Commercial High-Pressure Washers.

Step up to the SPW-1600 when you need a little more power for regular home maintenance, offering a balanced mix of performance and portability with a convenient onboard detergent bottle for soapy, streak-free cleaning.

For those who tackle tougher dirt or larger areas, the SPW-2000 delivers a noticeable boost in pressure and flow, built with an integrated detergent tank and aluminium pump for lasting durability. Each model includes smart onboard storage for accessories, tidy cable management, and a compact footprint, so whether it’s a light rinse or a deep clean, you’ll always have the right amount of power in your hands.

The Do’s and Don’ts of Pressure Washing

The more powerful the washer, the more precision it requires. While there are many important safety and care guidelines, as outlined by Prowash Cape Town (2024), the examples below cover some of the most essential do’s and don’ts to help you get the best results from your STECO High Pressure or Commercial Pressure Washer. 

DO:

  • Start with a wider spray and adjust as needed.
  • Keep the nozzle moving to prevent damage to surfaces.
  • Use detergents suited for pressure washing.
  • Test the pressure on a small section before cleaning delicate materials.

DON’T:

  • Don’t spray near electrical outlets or wiring.
  • Don’t use full pressure on glass, car trims, or fragile surfaces.
  • Don’t point the nozzle at people or pets, even at low settings.

Proper technique ensures not only a better clean but also extends the lifespan of your washer.
