Made In The USA

The ability to work and provide value to a company, community and neighborhood has given Americans a certain purpose for generations. Mi-T-M Corporation’s employees are proud to be part of a team that builds American-made products.

The Mi-T-M brand is well known around the world for high quality products and unequaled workmanship. The industrial grade equipment is used across many industries by paint and construction contractors, farmers, steel workers, homeowners and even the United States government.

Mi-T-M was founded in 1971 by A.J. Spiegel, a professional paint contractor who saw the need for a portable pressure washer. Mi-T-M’s flagship product is a 1000-PSI cold water pressure washer called the “Mighty 1000.” The name was soon abbreviated to “Mi-T” and paired with the Roman numeral “M” for 1000, A.J. Spiegel had a unique name for his new company…Mi-T-M.

Over 400 loyal and hard-working employees uphold the Mi-T-M Promise “to deliver unmatched performance from the quality of our products to the dedication of each employee who does what’s right for our customer — every time.”

What started as a dream, is now a world-renowned American success story.  Today, Mi-T-M manufactures thousands of products in a facility that includes a fabrication division to shape and paint the framework from raw steel. These parts are delivered to 26 production lines where components are assembled. The 1-million square foot facility also features two engineering test rooms, one certification test room and one service test room to ensure the quality of every product before it is shipped out the door.

In 2021, just in time for his company’s 50^th Anniversary, A.J. Spiegel announced the sale of his company to his employees. Mi-T-M became an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) to not only continue as a privately owned company, but to also ensure it remained part of the local community. Mi-T-M employee’s ownership in the company will provide purpose for generations to come.

After much consideration, you finally decided to invest in a pressure washer. Now comes the task of deciding with model is best for you.

Mi-T-M prides itself in offering a wide range of pressure washers to fit every cleaning need. We cater to many industries to provide the perfect cleaning solution based on many factors. Just one of those factors is deciding between an electric driven pressure washer and a gas driven pressure washer. One of the first questions to ask yourself before making this choice is where your power will come from. Do you have access to electricity wherever you need to clean? If your cleaning needs take you to a location where finding available electricity is going to be a problem, then a gas driven pressure washer is the best choice.

Often customers choose an electric powered pressure washer if they have a need to use it indoors, because the electric motors emit no fuel fumes. For food and beverage companies, such as breweries and commercial kitchens who must keep work surfaces and floors clean and sanitized, an electric powered pressure washer will be the best option.

Mi-T-M offers a large selection of pressure washers in both electric and gas driven models. Many claim that a gas-powered pressure washer is more powerful than electric. However, Mi-T-M manufactures industrial electric pressure washers with up to 5000-PSI of cleaning power. With that much power, an electric pressure washer can tackle most any cleaning job.

Let’s look at some of the key differences between an electric and gas pressure washer that may help with your decision.

Electric Powered

An electric powered pressure washer is affordable and effective. Mi-T-M’s residential line of electric washers typically have a lower upfront cost and require less maintenance than their gas counterparts. They are much easier to start and, as you might guess, are quieter than gas models. Because they are light-weight and user-friendly, Mi-T-M electric pressure washers are very popular in the residential market.

Mi-T-M manufactures both cold and hot water electric pressure washers that are used in commercial and industrial industries. These models are built to withstand even the toughest jobs on construction sites and in commercial and industrial facilities.  The advantages of purchasing an electric pressure washer are great, however, keep in mind, an electric power source must be accessible for you to use them.

Gas Powered

Gas powered pressure washers are known for their durability and that is why you find them most often in the commercial and industrial market places. However, Mi-T-M does manufacture a line of gas powered pressure washers for residential use. Available from 1400 to 3000-PSI, gas pressure washers are great for those who want more portability than an electric washer can offer.

Mi-T-M manufactures both cold and hot water gas powered pressure washers for commercial and industrial use. They are designed to provide the power, reliability and versatility businesses need. Often found in the agricultural, trucking and construction industries, they are used for property and equipment maintenance and cleaning at commercial and industrial facilities.

Because a gas pressure washer is powered by an internal combustion engine, your maintenance costs will be higher than with an electric pressure washer. Keeping an eye on fuel and oil levels will need to become a part of your regular maintenance routine. Winterizing a gas powered pressure washer requires more effort than electric models, but with proper maintenance and upkeep, your investment will be worth it.

As you can see when it comes to choosing between an electric or gas pressure washer, you’ll need to ask yourself how and where it will be used, what your budget is and how much time you can devote to maintaining your investment. Either way, once you start using it, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without one.

The Mi-T-M Sales Support Team is always happy to answer your questions. Contact us at 800-553-9053 or contact a dealer near you to find the best solution for your needs.

Most seasonal equipment needs to be winterized before cold weather arrives. If you store your equipment where the temperatures will fall below 32-degrees Fahrenheit, protect it by following the proper winterizing procedures that are included in your manual. Product manuals for all Mi-T-M equipment can be found on our website and make sure to check out this pressure washer winterizing video for extra guidance.

Here are a few general winterizing tips:

1. For equipment that runs water through a pump, such as a pressure washer, make sure water is removed completely from the pump and all accessories used with the unit. Refer to your manual for the proper winterizing process, which will include running a pump conditioner or winterizer through the pump. This includes all electric driven and engine powered pressure washers.
2. Disconnect and dry all attachments.
3. Add a quality fuel stabilizer to fresh fuel and run the engine for a few minutes to circulate it.
4. Check and tighten spark plugs or replace if necessary.
5. For air compressors, make sure you open all drains to get rid of condensation. Inspect and clean air filters, replace if necessary. Check guards and covers to make sure they are properly in place.
6. Giving your equipment a good cleaning before storing it will help keep the unit free from rust and corrosion. Using equipment covers adds protection.

As you can see, the most important tip for preparing your equipment for use in the spring, is making sure it is properly maintained and winterized. When spring rolls around, you will be confident your equipment will run properly and be ready when you are.

Here is a quick spring checklist, but again, check your manuals for proper startup so you get the most out of your equipment.

1. Change the engine and pump oil.
2. Flush out antifreeze or winterizer from pumps.
3. Clean or replace the air filter, if you didn’t do so before storing.
4. Drain old fuel and refill with fresh fuel.
5. Inspect all hoses and attachments for leaks and cracks that may have occurred over the winter.
6. Start up the equipment to make sure it is running correctly before you need to use it.
7. If you suspect something isn’t right, contact your service center to help diagnose the problem.

Purchasing your equipment is an investment, it takes very little time and effort to protect it and ensure you will enjoy using it for many years.

The Ultimate Guide to Pressure Washing

As a busy homeowner, it’s easy to let maintenance and home projects fall by the wayside. Pressure washing is an excellent method to make fast work of built-up grime, mud, mold and mildew on surfaces. Mi-T-M Corporation is your trusted provider of high-quality and dependable residential, commercial and industrial pressure washers and is here to provide you with pressure washing tips.

In 1971, Mi-T-M’s founder, AJ Spiegel realized the need for portable, economical and powerful cleaners. With a background in painting and cleaning, he built a 1000 PSI gas powered unit. It was a humble, but important step. We’ve come a long way since then and today we not only offer numerous pressure washers, but also hundreds of other types of equipment.

With a variety of sizes and types of pressure washers, our powerful Mi-T-M machines can help you clean patios, driveways, decks, siding, pools, fencing, lawn furniture and even help you prep for painting.

We’ve prepared an ultimate step-by-step guide on pressure washing to help you learn how to pressure wash around your home. Along with our how-to videos, we believe you’ll be an expert in no time and your home will be the envy of the neighborhood.

Below are some tips for pressure washing in nearly any situation.

No matter the cleaning project, safety is always first priority when operating a pressure washer. It is important to always avoid high-voltage areas, including electrical lines, conduits and electrical appliances. Make sure to always wear proper safety gear, including ear and eye protection as well as closed toe shoes.

Pressure Washing Brick Siding

Brick homes are beautiful, sturdy and timeless, but just like other home surfaces, brick becomes dirty, mossy and needs regular maintenance. Unlike many other home materials, brick is porous and more prone to discoloration and structural damage. Therefore, before you attempt to pressure wash your brick home, you should know the proper methods for cleaning this type of surface.

First, survey the surface to look for any cracks or holes between bricks. You must repair them before you start pressure washing. Carefully patch these areas with mortar and let them cure for at least a week. Once they’re dry, you can begin pressure washing.

Follow the below steps for brick pressure washing:

1. Prep your surface: Soak and saturate the brick with water. This will prevent the bricks from absorbing harsh detergents.
2. Test an area: Test a small area of brick in order to gauge the amount of pressure needed to complete the cleaning task at hand.
3. Detergent: Apply a detergent for cleaning brick, spray the detergent from bottom to top in order to prevent streaking and then allow it to soak into the brick for 5-10 minutes. NOTE: Do not allow the detergent to fully dry on your surface.
4. Rinse your surface: Finish the cleaning process by gently spraying water across the surface to rinse all detergent and residue away.

Remember, you can always choose to apply a brick-and-mortar sealant. Your local hardware store can help you select one that’s made exclusively for brick.

Pressure Washing Vinyl Siding

Vinyl is a popular choice for home siding. It’s a low-maintenance, inexpensive material that never needs to be painted. But, it’s also notorious for accumulating mold, mildew, dirt and debris.

An important thing to note before you begin pressure washing is that vinyl siding is malleable, so you cannot blast it with too much force or pressure.

Follow the below steps for pressure washing vinyl siding:

1. Scan your surroundings: Take a look at the areas surrounding your home. Use a drop cloth or plastic tablecloth to protect any shrubs or bushes that could potentially get damaged by your high-pressure spray.
2. Quick Connect Nozzles: Make sure to choose a correct quick connect nozzle. We recommend using the 15-degree quick connect nozzle, as it is the best choice for this task. Stand 3 to 4 feet away and keep the nozzle moving to avoid damaging your surface.
3. Test an area: Test a small area of vinyl in order to gauge the amount of pressure needed to complete the cleaning task at hand.
4. Pre-rinse your siding: Before apply detergent, pressure wash your siding from top to bottom using clean water.
5. Detergent: Apply your detergent mixture using a lower pressure setting. Working from bottom to top, aim for smooth and steady strokes from left to right with your spray wand. Keep the wand pointed slightly downward to avoid spraying underneath any gaps in the vinyl siding.
6. Rinse your surface: Finish the cleaning process by gently spraying water across the surface to rinse all detergent and residue. Start at the top and work your way down.

Pressure Washing Your Deck

You love your deck. It’s a great place to read, relax and entertain. Make sure you learn the proper way to preserve and protect it.

Follow the below steps for pressure washing your deck:

1. Prep your surface: Sweep, rinse and wet your deck thoroughly. Make sure you’ve removed all loose debris and dirt.
2. Test an area: Test a small area of your deck’s surface in order to gauge the amount of pressure needed to complete the cleaning task at hand.
3. Quick connect nozzles: Use a 25-degree quick connect nozzle. This size nozzle is best for sweeping away dirt, mud and mildew from decks and other surfaces.
4. Pressure washing: Keep a distance of 8 to 12 inches from the surface and use a sweeping motion along the grain of the wood to avoid damage. Make sure you keep the nozzle moving at all times to prevent uneven spots or lap marks.
5. Allow to dry and finishing: Once you clean the entire deck, allow the surface to dry for at least 24 hours. To extend the life and appearance of your deck, apply a quality deck-coating or sealant.

Pressure Washing Concrete Surfaces

Our pressure washers will make quick work of discolored and dirty concrete. Choose from our large selection of gas and electric powered pressure washers to get the job done right. Your concrete surfaces will be looking brand new in no time!

Follow the below steps for pressure washing concrete surfaces:

1. Prep your surface area: Pick up and move things like lawn furniture, toys and potted plants that could be damaged during pressure washing.
2. Detergent: Apply a detergent best suited for concrete surfaces. Attach your spray wand, use the soap tip and begin applying detergent. Give the detergent around 10 minutes to soak into your concrete surface.
3. Pressure washing: When the detergent has permeated your concrete, it’s time to blast away all the accumulated build-up. Switch to a high-pressure spray, keep your nozzle at least 10 inches away from the surface and use smooth back and forth motions, overlapping each pass by five or more inches. NOTE: For really dirty patches, you may need to make several passes with your pressure washer.

 Pressure Washing Fencing

Now that you’ve pressure washed your siding, deck and concrete surfaces, don’t neglect other property areas like fences.

1. Prep your area: Clear away any objects and/or cover plants and bushes near the fence line. This will give you direct access to the fence and prevent damage.
2. Quick Connect Nozzles: Select the right quick connect nozzle. We recommend a 25-degree nozzle to begin. However, if you need more power, you can always switch to a 15-degree nozzle. Be sure to keep a safe distance from the fencing to avoid damage.
3. Detergent: Apply a detergent – we recommend a commercial grade detergent – while holding the sprayer around 3 to 4 feet away from the fence’s surface. Let the cleaning solution sink in and do its magic for about 10 minutes. NOTE: For wooden fencing, do not hold the sprayer in one place, as it may cause damage to the wood. Use different angles and move in closer if needed.
4. Rinse your surface: Rinse your fence thoroughly with fresh water.

The final step to end any pressure washing task, is to celebrate a job well done.

We hope our ultimate guide has shown you how to use a pressure washer to accomplish many of your outdoor cleaning tasks.
