- Steam Car Wash and the Inside Edge of Interior Detailing
Sunday, March 4, 2012
A steam car wash system may not be the ideal machine to use when cleaning vehicle exteriors, but they can do wonders for interior detailing jobs. Steam cleaning units lack the sustained cleaning power needed to clean the body of an entire vehicle. Dry steam cleaners also require a lot of wiping, which could cause scratches to the paint job. But when it comes to spot cleaning the windshield, dashboard, and windows, a steam cleaning unit can clean and disinfect, using nothing more than the power of superheated water.
Understanding Vehicle Interiors
To understand why a steam car wash unit can be effective for interior detailing, we need to understand the cleaning challenges that are involved. Hard surfaces like the dashboard often pick up more dirt, grime, and debris than we realize. In many cases, a spill on the dashboard is just wiped up and forgotten. This allows germs to flourish, particularly as car interiors get little aeration or exposure to the sun. Windows and windshields can pick up a lot of dirt, ranging from bug spatter to bird stains. Portable steam cleaners can be used with squeegees to clean these areas. The superheated water works to soften the deposits, making them easy to remove.
It’s best to choose a steam car wash unit that comes with ATIS® technology, which works to eliminate more than 99 percent of harmful germs and bacteria. In this way, the hard surfaces and interiors are not just cleaned, they are disinfected as well. There is no need to use any kind of harsh chemical cleaning agents which may leave noxious fumes behind after cleaning. Daimer® has a number of steam cleaning units that can be used for tackling interior detailing as well as for cleaning windshields and windows.
