Selecting Portable Steam Cleaners

Selecting Portable Steam Cleaners
Portable steam cleaners have many uses, particularly in floor cleaning and cleaning kitchen and bathrooms. While these machines are used primarily for hard surface cleaning, they are handy for spot cleaning small areas of carpets as well. The following information will help you search for the perfect portable steam cleaning machine.

Durability
An important feature to consider when choosing portable steam cleaners should be the durability of the machines. Ensure that the internal components and exterior housing are made of high-quality stainless steel. Quality materials will last longer and stand up to demanding cleaning tasks.

Technology
While portable steam cleaners with large tanks are ideal for bigger applications, the added weight may hinder the mobility of the machine. However, a small tank means the operator will have to refill the tank frequently. A solution to this problem would be to use continuous refill technology included with many of Daimer®’s machines. This technology works by allowing the operator to refill the machine while it is on. When the tank recedes below a certain level, the machine will transfer water from the refill chamber to the boiler. Machines without this technology require users to shut down the system, refill, and wait for the machine to heat back up to operating temperature. Particularly in machines with smaller tank sizes, this would be a frequent, time-consuming occurrence.

In addition, many of Daimer’s mobile steam cleaners include HEPA filters and ATIS® anti-bacterial technology proven to eliminate more than 99 percent of commonly found germs and bacteria on the surface. These features are helpful in areas like schools and hospitals where a high level of hygiene is expected.

It is important to select portable steam cleaners from reputable suppliers. Daimer® retails high quality cleaning equipment for various cleaning tasks. For more information about these machines, visit www.daimer.com.

Portable Steam Cleaners: Easy Floor Cleaning

Portable Steam Cleaners
Portable steam cleaners are powerful, effective tools for removing grime and dirt from floors. They are used for cleaning tile, grout, laminated floors, sealed hardwood, granite, and similar surfaces. The added technologies and accessories available make cleaning floors easier and quicker than manual methods of cleaning.

The KleenJet® Mega 1000CV is equipped with continuous refill technology. This is the addition of an extra tank used to store water that is heated and then dumped into the tank in use. By doing this, the operator saves time by not having to wait for the temperature to heat. The boiler can reach temperatures as high as 320°F. The pressure levels can be adjusted according to your needs, with the maximum at 89 psi. This machine offers enhanced cleaning power and does not use excessive water.

Some portable steam cleaners also come equipped with Daimer®’s antibacterial technology, like the KleenJet® Mega 1000CVP, which can sanitize floors by removing more than 99 percent of germs and bacteria. These portable steam cleaners are used in homes, hospitals, day cares, beauty salons, and other places where hygiene is important.

Accessories such as a floor brush, towel clips, triangular brush, long hose, and diverse detail brushes help make for faster, more effective cleaning. These brushes can scrape out the toughest dirt while steel wool removes the grease. Even hard-to-access areas, such as corners, can be easily cleaned using these accessories and brushes. Daimer® also supplies microfiber towels for cleaning up floors after steam cleaning. To eliminate the process of wiping up dissolve residues, consider a steam cleaning machine paired with an attached vacuum. Unlike other suppliers, Daimer®’s brushes and other accessories for KleenJet® portable steam cleaners are very affordable. Visit www.daimer.com to learn more about portable steam cleaners.

Portable Steam Cleaners vs. Pressure Washers

Portable Steam Cleaners vs. Pressure Washers
One of the major dilemmas buyers face is deciding whether portable steam cleaners or pressure washers are the better option. To arrive at a decision, it is important to understand how these machines work.

Steam cleaners use superheated steam up to 386°F to melt and dissolve dirt. The residual grime is removed by either wiping the surface clean with a towel, or using wet vacuum extraction such as that offered with most of Daimer®’s portable steam cleaners, including the KleenJet® Mega 1000CV. These machines eject low pressure steam at pressure levels from 75 to 150 psi.

Pressure washers, on the other hand, use highly pressurized water to blast dirt off the surface. These machines may or may not use high temperatures. Pressure washers have pressure levels as high as 8000 psi, although Daimer® retails machines with lower pressure levels for specific commercial applications, such as car washing. The use of steam up to 330°F dissolves stubborn grease and grime while the high pressure levels work to blast away the deposits from the surfaces.

One of the crucial differences between steam cleaners and pressure washes becomes apparent when it comes to degreasing. Portable steam cleaners cannot remove heavy layers of grease, generally found in food processing and chemical manufacturing industries. They are, however, very useful for spot cleaning carpets, wax, sugars, and similar organic compounds. They are used for cleaning ovens, tiles, ducts, AC condenser coils, and bathrooms. Movable steam cleaner machines equipped with anti-bacterial technology can also sanitize surfaces.

If you are looking for equipment for removing grease, fatty acids, waxes, and similar matter on a commercial or industrial scale, pressure washers with a hot water or a steam option are recommended. Visit www.daimer.com to find out more about the varied uses of portable steam cleaners.

Tips to Use Portable Steam Cleaners for Spot Cleaning Carpets

Steam Cleaners for Spot Cleaning Carpets
Portable steam cleaners are widely known for their hard surface cleaning capability. Cleaning tiled surfaces, kitchen appliances in restaurants, and fitness equipment in gyms are some of commonly known applications of steam cleaning machines.

Spot cleaning mats, carpets, and seat upholstery is a low profile application of these machines. Nevertheless, portable steam cleaners carry out the cleaning task much more efficiently than most other cleaning equipment do.

The following are some tips to use these machines for spot cleaning carpets and mats.

Optimum Use of Temperature

The high output temperature of portable steam cleaners, which can be as high as 386°F, is both an advantage and disadvantage. It offers higher cleaning efficiency, quicker cleaning and, above all, shorter drying time for carpets and upholstery. However, if not used correctly, high temperature levels could damage the surface of carpets and mats too. Therefore, the operator should be careful when applying heat to carpets and upholstery.

It is also important to note that steam cleaning machines are only efficient at spot cleaning carpets. Their low pressure and high temperature design does not enable them to clean entire carpeted areas.

Useful Technologies

Quality portable steam cleaners are light weight machines. The larger the boiler or tank size, the heavier the machine becomes and the more difficult it is to take the machine from one place to another. However, when purchasing light weight machines, the small boiler and tank sizes require frequent refilling. In this case, always opt for machines with continuous refill technology, as with many of Daimer®'s KleenJet® steam cleaners. This allows operators to refill the machine while it is in use. Other systems require users to shut down, refill, and wait untill the system has once again reached full operating temperature.

Daimer®, a well-known distributor of cleaning products, offers portable steam cleaners with automatic refilling technology. For more details about these machines, visit www.daimer.com.

Purchasing Portable Steam Cleaners

Purchasing Portable Steam Cleaners
Portable steam cleaners are handy machines for both commercial cleaning and other light cleaning jobs. These are easy to operate and light in weight. However, these machines can be more prone to damage than normal steam cleaning machines because they are often constantly being moved. What this means is that you have to choose a portable machine with great care. Selecting models made with cheap components will often result in damage and failure, forcing operators to search for a replacement machine sooner rather than later. The following tips will guide you when selecting the right product.

Quality Components
It is essential to ensure that the components of the steam cleaning machine you purchase are of the highest quality. Daimer Industries®, the top supplier in steam cleaners, offers superior quality in all components of its KleenJet® systems. The stainless steel boiler, replaceable heating rods, self-cleaning technology, rugged stainless steel or durable plastic housing, and other premium components work together to ensure the long life of your machine.

Tank Size
For larger projects, it is better to have a large water chamber for holding water. Daimer®, a reputable supplier of cleaning equipment, offers steam cleaners with tanks ranging up to 20 liters. For enhanced portability, small to medium sized tanks are best.

Use of Technology
Smaller tanks mean that the operator must refill the tank frequently. You may select one of the portable steam cleaners that makes use of continuous refilling technology. Daimer® offers machines, such as the KleenJet® Mega 1000CV, with this technology. Continuous refill technology works by allowing the operator to refill the tank while it is in use. That is, operator does not need to stop the cleaning work for refilling the tank.

Quality Detail Brushes
It is important to select high quality portable steam cleaners with a variety of attachments to meet various cleaning applications. Small detail brushes, the most popular accessory, enable operators to effectively remove residues from a variety of surfaces. It is essential to find a supplier that offers high quality, yet inexpensive brushes. After all, these brushes will need to be replaced frequently. When competitors charge up to $20 per brush, the overall cost of the system throughout its lifetime is drastically larger than the purchase price. Daimer® offers many different portable steam cleaners. Log on to www.daimer.com to learn more about these and other cleaning products.

Portable Steam Cleaners for a Healthy Life

portable steam cleaners
Portable steam cleaners are handy machines for those who try to keep the environment clean and hygienic. These machines can be used to clean hard and semi-hard surfaces.

How They Works

Portable steam cleaners eject dry vapor onto the surfaces to be cleaned. Dry vapor is superheated steam with dissolves such as dirt, stains, and other deposits into molten residues allowing for easy removal with an attached vacuum or with a towel.

Special Features for Hygiene
Some of the latest models of steam cleaning machines possess special features, namely ATIS® technology and HEPA filters.

ATIS® Technology
ATIS® technology is a special anti-microbial technology designed to eliminate commonly found microorganisms. Independent laboratory tests have proven this technology is capable of eliminating up to 99 percent of disease-causing bacteria and fungi. Portable steam cleaners equipped with this technology are suitable for cleaning buildings in hospitality and healthcare sectors. However, it is important to note that ATIS® is exclusive to Daimer®'s KleenJet® steam cleaners.

HEPA Filters
HEPA filters can extract very small dust particles. Machines with these filters can absorb any dust particles with a size more than 0.3 micron. These machines keep the air environment dust free and hygienic.

Daimer® offers many models of portable steam cleaners equipped with both the above features. For further details about such machines, visit our website at www.daimer.com.

Powerful Interior Detailing with Portable Steam Cleaners

Powerful Interior Detailing with Portable Steam Cleaners
A number of tough interior detailing jobs require the cleaning power of portable steam cleaners. A car, RV, and boat are just a few places where dirt easily accumulates. If these interiors are not cleaned on a regular basis, it is easy for sedimentation and deposits to harden or stain the material, making them even more difficult to remove. Sometimes liquid stains like soda spills can soak into the paneling. In these cases, portable steam cleaners can be helpful.

Daimer® offers a large selection of portable steam cleaners ideal for cleaning up spills and dirt. Steam cleaning machines use the cleaning power of super-heated water to loosen and eliminate hardened and stubborn stains. This way, they can tackle sedimentation that has soaked deep into the material and is hard to remove by conventional cleaning methods. This also means these machines are ideal for spot cleaning jobs on carpets and upholstery in vehicle interiors.

Before using these portable steam cleaners on vehicle interiors, it’s important to make sure the surface can take the high temperatures. While these machines are certainly effective cleaning systems, certain surfaces may become damaged from exposure to steam. Even upholstery material made from certain artificial fibers may melt or shrink under high heat. Ensure that the surface is compatible with steam cleaning first.

Selecting the Best Portable Steam Cleaners

Best Portable Steam Cleaners
Outdoor cleaning has always been a tricky matter, partly because of the weight and size of the machines needed for use. Bulky, heavy machines are difficult to carry over a long distance. This is why you need to invest in portable steam cleaners for working in outdoor areas.

Portable steam cleaners are not only used outdoors, but also in large interior spaces such as kitchens, dining areas, halls, and lounges, as well. Without portability, reaching these particular areas can be difficult. Daimer® supplies wheel portable, compact machines that do not require much effort in moving them.

Most of the portable steam cleaners sold by Daimer® work effectively for commercial users. The KleenJet® Pro Plus 200S, for example, has a stainless steel finish and weighs only 23 pounds. This machine heats steam to 310°F and maintains pressure levels at 75 psi, efficient in cleaning tiles, grout, countertops, sinks, fittings and fixtures, and more.

Some portable steam cleaners, such as the KleenJet® Ultra 5000CV reach steam temperature as high as 329°F and boast additional technologies to both remove chewing gum and kill bacteria. This machine possesses both dry and wet vacuum features to help remove dust, allergens, and dirt. The vacuum suction helps remove dust as well as waste water after steam cleaning.

Removed Baked on Stains with Portable Steam Cleaners

Remove Stains with Portable Steam Cleaners
Portable steam cleaners have a wide range of commercial uses in the food industry, such as for cleaning baking racks, ovens, and food manufacturing units. There are two reasons for their widespread use: cleaning efficiency and sanitizing technology.

Cleaning Efficiency
Portable steam cleaning machines clean surfaces by ejecting dry steam on to the surfaces. Dry steam means vapor with less than 5 percent water content. The output temperature of these machines is 360°F. Such high temperatures are suitable for melting away most types of dirt, stains, and impurities.

Over time, baked on stains appear on trays, pots, ovens, and other utensils used in food manufacturing units. Cleaning manually is difficult and time consuming, and often cannot remove most stains. The excessive heat hardens the bond between the stain and the surface. As such, it is essential to use high steam temperatures to dissolve these hardened deposits and stains.

Disinfecting Capability
Certain models of portable steam cleaners have disinfecting capabilities. Take for instance, the latest steam cleaning machines in the KleenJet™ series by Daimer®, a well-known distributor of high-quality cleaning products. These machines boast the unique ATIS® technology, which is proven to eliminate up to 99.9 percent of commonly found bacteria and microorganisms.

This sanitizing technology is useful in food manufacturing and food service facilities for maintaining hygiene and cleanliness. For more information about these portable steam cleaners, visit www.daimer.com.

Portable Steam Cleaners and Floor Cleaning — What You Should Know

Portable Steam Floor Cleaners
While it is true that portable steam cleaners are great for cleaning hard surfaces, it is important to remember that not all hard surfaces are suited for steam cleaning. Using portable steam cleaners on certain flooring can actually damage the surface. By understanding what surfaces are suited for steam cleaning, your floors will be exceptionally clean without any damage.

To clean hardwood floors, Daimer® has a line of portable steam cleaners under the KleenJet® series. Many models offered by Daimer®, such as the KleenJet® Mega 1000CV, function as a wet vacuum cleaner and a dry vacuum cleaner. This makes it easier to clean up dirt, grime, and water when the job is finished. It is also a good idea to use an eco-friendly hardwood floor cleaner for enhanced cleaning. These cleaners do not leave behind toxic chemical traces and will not pollute the indoor air quality. However, portable steam cleaners are not suitable for unsealed hardwood floors.

If you are thinking of using portable steam cleaners to clean tiles, a steam vapor cleaner is also a good option. For floors that are not very dirty, using a steam vacuum cleaner with a squeegee attachment is sufficient. For floors that may require more scrubbing, a brush attachment will be more effective. But, take care to choose a brush that will not damage the tile surface.

Steam cleaners are generally not suitable for flooring that is unsealed or porous, like concrete or brick. This is because these surfaces trap water in its pores and need a steady water flow to wash out residue. By clicking on www.daimer.com, you can learn more about the applications and limitations of different steam cleaners.
