When you’re choosing a pressure washer, it’s easy to focus on the price tag. But here’s the real question: Is it going to save you money in the long run?
With Spraymaster, the answer is always yes.
Our built-in cleaning systems are designed to work harder, last longer, and cost less to operate; giving you real savings every single year.
Why cheaper equipment costs you more
Many businesses start with a cheaper, retail-grade washer.
It works fine at first… until it doesn’t. Plastic parts crack. Hoses leak. It overheats. You’re spending more time fixing it than using it.
Nick Tassan, Chick-fil-A Owner/ QSR Operator, put it best:
“The Spraymaster system is easily a no brainer for us here at Chick-fil-A. The investment is worth every penny. I was blown away by how quickly I could get the job done — and I wasn’t nearly as tired afterward. Using portable high-pressure washers wears on your elbows all day. Spraymaster is easy to use, very easy to use.”
Spraymaster systems are built with industrial-grade components, rated for over 10,000 hours of operation — up to 20 times longer life than retail washers. That means more cleaning, less downtime, and a lot more value.
The cost per day is less than you think
Laura, Chick-fil-A Owner/Operator, shared:
“What I love about Spraymaster is we control the process, which means we control the quality. Our floors and drive-thru concrete look brand new day after day. It’s so much more cost-effective than hiring a third party — we calculated it would pay for itself within 18 to 24 months.”
Contract cleaning services average $800 per visit — or about $9,600 a year per location (QSR Magazine). Spraymaster flips that math:
-
System investment: ≈$8,000 (10-year lifespan = $67/month)
-
Labor: 4 hrs/week at $15/hr = $240/month
-
Total = $307/month
That’s 62% less than contractors, with the flexibility to clean daily instead of waiting between visits.
Labor savings that add up
If your team spends 4 hours each week on cleaning at $15/hour, that’s $60 a week — or about $260 a month. In a year, that’s over $3,000 just in labor.
With Spraymaster cutting cleaning time in half, you could save $1,500+ in labor every year — and free up your team for customers, not mop buckets.
Car wash operators see this daily. One customer told us:
“Cut your closing time in half! Our car wash customers tell us when they use Spraymaster, they save two hours every time.”
Prevent accidents before they happen
Slips and falls are one of the most common — and costly — workplace accidents, averaging $10,000 per incident.
Mops spread grease and water around, making floors more dangerous. Spraymaster deep cleans and removes grime, leaving floors safer and drier.
Always ready for inspections
From clogged grease traps to unsanitary surfaces, inspection failures can cost you thousands in fines or even force you to close temporarily.
Ardie, Maintenance Manager at a large hospital system, shared his experience:
“The Spraymaster is a really good piece of equipment — it’s fast, it’s effective, and every commercial kitchen should have one. I like it because nobody can move it, it’s always ready, and as long as you have water and power, you’re good to go. It helps us save time and do a better job compared to a portable washer or a mop and bucket. It wins the race.”
Spraymaster’s adjustable chemical injectors mean you get the right amount of cleaning power every time — strong enough to sanitize, safe enough for your surfaces.
Real savings in different industries

Convenience Stores – Replace $10,000/year contract cleaning with a system that pays for itself in under a year.
Your ROI by the numbers
Let’s do the math:
-
Spraymaster system cost: $8,000 (built to last 10+ years)
-
Contract cleaning cost: $9,600 per year ($800 per visit, once a month)
-
Labor cost with Spraymaster: about $240/month (4 hrs/week at $15/hr)
-
Total monthly cost to own and operate: ≈ $307
Compare that to $800 a month for contractors — that’s 62% savings every single month.
Payback Timeline:
At $9,600/year for contractors vs. $3,700/year for Spraymaster ($307/month), most businesses recoup the full $8,000 investment in under 18–24 months.
After that, it’s all savings — often $6,000+ back in your pocket every year for the next decade.
Bottom line
Spraymaster isn’t just a cleaning system — it’s a profit driver. It saves you money, protects your team, keeps you inspection-ready, and lasts for years.
If you want a cleaning solution that works as hard as you do and pays for itself fast, Spraymaster is the smart choice.
