Cleaning Floors with Steam Cleaners


floor steam cleaner
One use of steam cleaners is to clean hard surfaces such as tile, sealed wood, and vinyl floors. The only restriction to consider is whether the surface being cleaned can withstand such high temperatures up to 386°F. Certain materials, such as plastics, may melt under extreme temperatures.

The following are a few things to consider when purchasing steam cleaners for floor cleaning.

Use with Care

Safety is important when using steam cleaning machines. With high temperatures up to 386°F, it is possible to damage certain surfaces. One must ensure that soft surfaces like paper or linen are not exposed to such high temperatures. In addition, contact with skin can cause serious burns.

Use Machines with Attached Vacuum

Steam cleaners from reputable suppliers, such as Daimer®’s KleenJet® 500VP, include attached vacuums to make clean up easier. Machines without this feature will only displace the dirt and will leave behind a liquid residue that must either manually be cleaned or vacuumed by a separate machine. The 500VP features pressure levels of 75 psi and steam temperatures of 310°F, perfect for cleaning floors. In addition, this machine also features Daimer®’s ATIS® anti-bacterial technology to eliminate more than 99 percent of germs and bacteria.

Daimer®, a premier supplier of cleaning products, offers steam cleaners with attached vacuums and anti-bacterial technologies. For product descriptions and price details of these machines, visit www.daimer.com.
