Swimming pools, changing rooms and wet areas
Public and commercial swimming pools in the UK are governed by HSG179 — the HSE's Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools guidance (4th edition, reissued 2024) — and the PWTAG Code of Practice, which HSG179 cross-references for detailed pool hygiene and water treatment standards. Both set cleaning requirements that go beyond routine mopping: pool surround biofilm removal, plant room hygiene, changing room deep cleaning and Legionella risk management all require equipment capable of delivering hot water at sufficient temperature and pressure to remove the biological contamination that cold water leaves behind.
Hot-water pressure washers — pool surround, plant room and changing room deep clean
Hot water at 60–80°C removes the biofilm from grouted tile joints, non-slip deck surfaces and changing room floors that cold water cannot penetrate. Stainless steel construction is the correct material specification for pool chemical environments — mild steel corrodes rapidly in the chlorine atmosphere of a pool facility. The V-TUF RAPID VSC 240V (100 bar, 12 L/min, stainless, hot water) is the correct specification for pool surround, plant room and changing room periodic deep cleaning under HSG179 and PWTAG standards.

Wet/dry vacuums — poolside water management and changing rooms
The V-TUF MAMMOTH 240V Stainless (80L, 3.5kW twin-motor, stainless tank, integrated pump-out) is the correct specification for poolside wet/dry operations — post-wash water recovery, poolside standing water clearance between sessions, changing room floor maintenance and filter backwash residue clearance. The stainless construction is the appropriate material specification for the pool chemical environment.

Holiday parks, caravan sites and camping
Holiday parks, touring caravan and camping sites, glamping venues and static caravan parks are among the most demanding outdoor cleaning environments in the UK. Chemical waste from waste points, algae and moss on hard standings and paths, bin compound odour management, toilet block and shower block cleaning, and the general footfall of hundreds of guests across a season all generate sustained cleaning demand.
Hard standing and path cleaning — petrol pressure washers
Large outdoor areas without reliable mains power access across the full site. Petrol machines are the correct choice for holiday park grounds teams covering large areas between pitches, access roads, waste points and communal hard standings.

Algae and moss — D-Green biocidal treatment
Caravan and camping hard standings, paths and communal areas accumulate algae and moss that creates slip hazards and looks poorly maintained. D-Green applied after pressure washing kills biological growth at the root, significantly reducing regrowth through the season.

Toilet and shower blocks — hot-water pressure washing
Hot-water pressure washing is the correct specification for periodic deep cleaning of toilet and shower block floors, walls, drainage channels and waste areas. View hot-water pressure washers →
Waste and bin compound cleaning
Chemical waste points, recycling areas and bin compounds on holiday parks accumulate biological contamination and odour in warm weather. Hot-water pressure washing monthly prevents the odour build-up that generates complaints. View drain jetting accessories →
Glamping and premium sites — soft furnishing extraction cleaning
Premium glamping sites — bell tents, safari tents, lodges and shepherd's huts — have soft furnishing cleaning requirements between guests that hard-surface pressure washing does not cover. The SPRAYEX spray extraction machine with VTC420 sanitiser handles carpet, upholstery and mattress extraction between bookings.
Golf clubs and outdoor sports venues
Clubhouse external areas, car parks, cart cleaning bays, greenkeeper equipment wash-down and pathway maintenance across the course. Petrol machines for remote areas without power. Electric for clubhouse and cart bay areas.

Environmental compliance — holiday park and leisure wash-down
Wash-down water from holiday park waste points, hard standings and cleaning operations must not enter surface water drains or watercourses without consent. Biocidal runoff from D-Green and chemical wash-down water both fall under Environmental Permitting Regulations.
