High Temperature High Pressure Steam Cleaners

Frequently Asked Questions
The most effective temperature for steam cleaning is above 212°F (100°C) to kill bacteria and effectively emulsify grease and grime, with commercial units often reaching 300°F (150°C) or higher.
No, you should never put vinegar in the water tank of a steam cleaner or mop as its acidity can damage internal components, seals, and pumps.
The high-temperature steam lifts the dirt and grime from the surface, which is then immediately wiped away with a microfiber cloth or vacuumed up.
Most continuous-fill commercial steam cleaners heat up quickly, typically within 7 to 10 minutes to reach operating temperature and pressure.
Using distilled water is highly recommended to prevent mineral buildup and scale in the boiler, which can damage the machine over time, although some commercial units are built to tolerate tap water.
You should not use a steam mop on unsealed hardwood, laminate, or natural stone floors, as the heat and moisture can cause warping, swelling, or damage to the finish.
