Heavy duty steam cleaners in general deserve a special mention among the household products. Besides their steam jets being just a tad bit dangerous and can cause burns if in contact with the human skin, there are hardly any side effects. The water vapor is non-toxic, it dries off and leaves no harmful residues that you will need to breathe days and weeks after the "cleaning" is done.
Steaming is a type of a non chemical cleaning and when used regularly will greatly reduce the need to use chemicals-based cleaners. Which is a great thing. They are potent enough, though, to sanitize the carpets and upholstery, freshen the air in any room that gets cleaned, and allow crevices and similar hard to reach places to be effectively cleaned.
Heavy Duty Caster Wheels
Commercial steamers differ from household steamers in a few features, primarily in size, sturdiness, steam pressures and steam temperatures available, as well as in the variety of nozzles and other attachments. Let's explore how these differences can help your cleaning efforts, regardless of whether you are in the professional cleaning business, or whether you just want to see if using commercial steamers or heavy duty steam cleaners could be of use in your home as well, as a bathroom steam cleaner, or to perform any other interior cleaning.
Why would you want to clean with steam? Let's explore the advantages of heavy duty cleaners:
Size and sturdiness: Heavy duty cleaners are larger than household steam cleaners or steam mops. The advantage of the larger size is that you will be able to finish one job, which could include multiple rooms, with one tank of... well... water. Which means that you do not have to waste your time waiting on water to get heated again. Many canister steam cleaners types come with sturdy caster wheels that you will be able use to easily move the cleaner from room to room. At the same time, besides being bigger, industrial steam cleaners are also built to last longer. Instead of vulnerable plastic, their bodies are made of sturdy steel.
Steam pressure and temperature: Commercial grade steamers have an option to regulate the steam pressure and temperature setting. How can that help you at home? Well, think of higher pressure and temperature as a higher power that can help you clean more, faster. Sometimes, no matter how long you clean, a stain just won't go away unless you approach it with more power and more force. Higher temperature and higher steam pressure will add that necessary force which will be able to remove the stain in an instant.
Variety of nozzles, brushes and other accessories available: You may be yawning at this point if you compare steam cleaners with your vacuum cleaner... You may have never used 90% of all brushes that came with your vacuum cleaner, why would cleaning with steam with an industrial steam cleaner be any different? Well, the difference is quite visible and audible once you turn the steamer on. There is a lot more noise generated with the commercial grade steam cleaner, and, more importantly, more cleaning power. And unlike with the vacuum cleaner, with a heavy duty steam cleaner you will be able to see how changing nozzle to a narrower stream nozzle, for instance, will reduce the size and increase the reach of the steam jet. Try that with a regular vacuum!
