A Guide to Steam Cleaner Machine Accessories

steam cleaner machine
When purchasing a steam cleaner machine, additional accessories are needed for cleaning a variety of surfaces. These accessories, such as brush, squeegee tool, or towel, make the operator’s work easier. Some of these accessories are essential, whereas others are optional. The following is an overview of some accessories of these machines:

Brushes
Detail brushes are essential parts of a steam cleaner machine. These are used to agitate the dirt deposits and stain residues for complete removal. These brushes are particularly necessary in gum removal applications, as gum deposits can be very hard to remove.

When selecting detail brushes, it is important to select the right material. Nylon detail brushes are the softest, for the most delicate surfaces. Brass detail brushes are slightly more abrasive for more durable materials. And, stainless steel brushes are the most abrasive, usable on concrete and other rugged surfaces. For chewing gum removal, heavy-duty, extra-long stainless steel gum removal brushes must be used.

Squeegee Wand

The squeegee wand is essential for people cleaning windows and screens. Without a squeegee tool, cleaning windows using a steam cleaner machine will become cumbersome.

Towel

A towel is also a necessary accessory for steam cleaning, particularly with machines without an attached vacuum. It is used to wipe the surface and to remove the dirt residues created by the steam cleaner machine. In other words, towels are used to give a finishing touch to the cleaning process.

Though many brands require that these parts are purchased separately, Daimer®, the industry's leading provider of steam cleaning equipment, ensures that virtually all the tools you need are paired with your machines.
