Jenny Products

What Jenny Products does

Jenny Products, Inc. is a privately held American manufacturer of industrial and commercial aqueous cleaning equipment, founded in 1927 in Somerset, Pennsylvania. The company originated the steam cleaning category with its invention of the 'Hypressure Jenny' (later branded 'Steam Jenny') and holds a 95+ year operating history in the cleaning equipment industry. Its product portfolio centers on four core equipment lines — steam cleaners, cold pressure washers, hot pressure washers, and combination units that integrate all three modes in a single machine — augmented by cleaning chemicals (biodegradable formulations in liquid, powder, and drum kit formats), wash-water recycling systems (WWRS), oil/water/solids separators (OWS), cabinet washers, industrial ventilation equipment, and air compressors offered through a partnership with Davey Compressor.

The underlying technology relies on superheated water systems operating at up to 325°F, with proprietary features including the Twin Fire Modular Gun Burner System (18,000V ignition), positive displacement triplex pumps with oil-bath crankcases, all-electric progressive heating systems that reach full operating temperature in 90 seconds, and three-stage stainless steel separators with ozone-based odor control for wastewater treatment. Jenny distributes exclusively through an authorized U.S. dealer network of professional pressure washer dealers, with quote-based pricing and no direct-to-consumer e-commerce. The company serves industrial and commercial facilities, fleet and transportation operators, rental yards, government and military facilities, and automotive services, with no public revenue disclosure and a headcount of 11–50 employees.

Product overview

Jenny Products is a manufacturer of industrial cleaning equipment founded in 1927, offering a comprehensive portfolio centered on four core product lines: Steam Cleaners (Steam Jenny - their original invention), Cold Pressure Washers, Hot Pressure Washers, and Combination Units (which combine all three cleaning modes in a single machine). Adjacent products include Cleaning Chemicals (biodegradable formulations in liquid, powder, and drum kit forms), Waste Water Treatment Systems (including the WWRS Wash Water Recovery System and OWS Oil/Water/Solids Separator), Cabinet Washers, Ventilation Equipment (industrial fans and ejectors), and Air Compressors. The product architecture follows a platform approach where Combination Units serve as the most versatile option, while individual product lines address specific cleaning requirements ranging from cold water general cleaning to 325°F superheated steam for degreasing applications.
