What Low Moisture Steam Cleaners Can Do For Your Floors

Low Moisture Steam Cleaners for Your Floors
Many people are aware of the various uses low moisture steam cleaners have in different commercial and industrial areas. One of these uses is to clean hard floors. While it is certainly true that vapor steam cleaners are an effective way to clean hard surfaces, it is also important to know the correct way to use them on flooring. Just as cleaning carpets with steam cleaners needs to be handled differently, hard floor cleaning also needs to be approached bearing a few important aspects in mind.

Low moisture steam cleaners from Daimer® generate vapor that only contains 5 percent water. This low water content makes it ideal for cleaning surfaces like hardwood flooring. If hardwood surfaces are cleaned using too much water, it can damage and warp the wood and even cause fungal growth in certain cases. Low moisture steam cleaners can be safely used on sealed wood and hardwood floors using low pressure settings. For best results, cleaning should be done using a large, rectangular brush and towel using a fast, vacuuming motion to clean.

Low moisture steam cleaners can also be used to clean surfaces like tile, laminate, and vinyl. Using steam cleaning technology on these kinds of surfaces does away with the need for harsh chemical cleaning agents. Daimer® includes over 36 different parts and accessories with many of their KleenJet® steam cleaners. Such accessories include squeegee wands, floor wands, brushes, and more.

The superheated water works to loosen and remove stubborn stains and deposits in a safe but effective manner. Even sticky stains or very old deposits can be softened and melted away with relative ease.

Low Moisture Steam Cleaners—Why Are They Unsuitable for Degreasing Jobs?

Low Moisture Steam Cleaners
Today, cleaning professionals regularly use low moisture steam cleaners to accomplish various cleaning activities in industrial areas. The superhot dry steam ejected by these steam cleaning machines helps simplify tough cleaning jobs.

Low moisture steam cleaners, like the KleenJet® Supreme 3000CV available from Daimer®, help maintain different surfaces by generating steam temperatures of up to 364ºF and pressure levels of 115 psi. Another remarkable aspect of these steam cleaning systems is their ability to generate high-density steam that is around 200 percent denser than the steam generated by conventional versions.

Although these low moisture steam cleaners feature high temperature levels and cleaning capabilities, they are not ideal for certain cleaning tasks such as degreasing applications. Efficient degreasing results demand high temperatures and high pressure levels. Steam cleaning machines do possess high temperatures, but they score low when it comes to pressure levels. As a result, steam cleaning systems do not offer effective degreasing functions.

To accomplish heavy-duty degreasing jobs, you must choose steam pressure cleaners instead of low moisture steam cleaners. The SuperMax™ range of steam pressure washers from Daimer® is highly recommended for such jobs. For instance, steam-based pressure cleaning machines like the SuperMax™ 6000 attain high temperatures of up to 330ºF and high pressure levels of 750 psi, the perfect combination required for efficient degreasing. It also features low flow rates of 1.4 GPM. Low moisture levels make the SuperMax™ 6000 ideal for degreasing industrial machinery as there is no risk of damage due to excess water.
