Efficient Tile & Grout Cleaning Techniques

Steam Cleaners for Tile & Grout Cleaning
Tiles and grout present a challenge to people responsible for maintaining indoor areas. Tiles collect many kinds of dirt depending on location. Bathroom tiles, for example, often have soap scum buildup. Kitchen tiles face grease and mold problems. Grout is often the hardest to clean because of its narrow, sunken position between tiles. Tile and grout also become dull due to age. Steam cleaners can take care of all these problems through their powerful cleaning and dirt removal capabilities.

Heat often works where detergents fail. It is very difficult to remove ingrained stains, wax, and grease spots by scrubbing with detergents. Chemical-based detergents are also difficult to wash off and may leave residues that remain on the surface long after the cleaning process is over. Steam, on the other hand, can dislodge the dirt or stain particles from the surface, leaving them easy to remove manually through a vacuum. To increase the power of steam cleaners, consider pairing the unit with a green tile cleaner, like Eco-Green® Tile & Grout Cleaner. While chemical detergents leave harmful residues and can even harm tile surfaces and the user, Eco-Green® Tile & Grout Cleaner safely lifts stains with its non-toxic, environmentally-safe formula.

When using steam cleaners, make sure the surface can handle such high heat temperatures. If your tiles are painted, use low pressure steam. If modulating the pressure is not possible, maintain a distance of at least 15 inches between the nozzle and the surface. Bring the nozzle closer if you see that it is not harming the paint. For removing or loosening the dirt from within grout lines, you can use detailing brushes provided with the steam cleaners. Daimer® retails steel, brass, and nylon detailing brushes that are an inexpensive alternative to the brushes available with most other retailers. You can also purchase microfiber towels for wiping the surface after steam cleaning. Learn more about steam cleaners and their applications at www.daimer.com.

Is a Steam Cleaner Machine Suitable for Auto Detailing?

A steam cleaner machine uses high temperatures to break down hardened dirt that is later vacuumed up or wiped away when the job is completed. But is this method safe or effective for cleaning cars?

First, you need to know that a steam cleaner machine is not designed for cleaning vehicle exteriors. The low moisture content and low pressure levels require continuous wiping while cleaning, which can damage the cars painted exterior. So where can you use a steam cleaner machine? A variety of components in the interior of a vehicle can be cleaned using a steam cleaner, including wheels, doorjambs, dashboards, windows, and more. You can even spot clean automotive upholstery and carpets.

Daimer®’s steam cleaners boast steam temperature as high as 360°F with pressure levels of 150 psi or less. This allows for dissolving of stubborn residues on more delicate surfaces that may otherwise be ruined by more powerful machines, like pressure washers. In addition, a steam cleaner machine uses steam, not water, so the upholstery and surfaces dry quickly. This prevents the buildup of unpleasant odors that are often attributed to prolonged dampness.

Another important fact to remember is that modern cars have many electronic devices in them –including stereos, antennas, air conditioners, radios, and even portable television sets. These can be damaged by heat and water. Read the instructions carefully before you use heated cleaning equipment on a car. If possible, patch test it first. With proper care, you a steam cleaner machine is an ideal system for car detailing professionals. Find out more about auto detailing equipment at www.daimer.com.
