Why Vapor Clean Steam Cleaners are Great for Auto Detailers

Sep 25, 2017

One of the many businesses that benefit from steam cleaners is auto detailing.

Steam cleaning has not only made the job of car detailers easier, but also has improved the appearance of the cars. At Vapor Clean, we are very involved with our equipment manufacturers to develop and test new accessories to determine if they can save detailers time, make vehicles look better and help detailers increase their revenue.

The use of dry vapor steamers to aid in cleaning a vehicle's interior is something every detailer should seriously consider. Why? The old "bucket and brush" method of cleaning interiors has given way to heated carpet extractors. But consider that a dry steam cleaner will get into areas a carpet extractor can't, including between seats, consoles, dashes, cup holders, vents, door pockets, door jambs, and more.

Here are more advantages from steam cleaning:

-- A steamer WILL NOT leave an interior soaking wet the way some carpet extractors do. A major reason for mold, mildew and odors in a car's interior is because of over-wetting with an extractor. Steam dries within seconds.

-- A steam cleaner will clean hard surfaces that an extractor cannot.

-- A steam cleaner will clean leather seats better than using harsh chemicals and a brush. It will leave leather soft and supple, and still require less time and effort.

-- A steam cleaner uses super-heated water, not harsh chemicals. It keeps the interior drier, saves money over chemicals and still leaves the inside smelling fresh, not harsh. You won't worry about a customer's sensitivity to chemicals, because you will not be using any!

-- Leather, vinyl and upholstery clean exceptionally well with steam. Oils and greasy buildups commonly found in autos melt away under this method of cleaning.

The Desiderio steam cleaner, with its built-in vacuum unit and extraction system, will allow you to steam and/or extract carpets and upholstery and immediately vacuum the dirt right out. You can even use it as a regular vacuum.

A steam cleaner can even be used to clean windows to perfection.

All the Vapor Clean steamers are built to last and out-perform the competition. They are commercial grade to handle any detailing use, and built to last.

Recommened Vapor Clean steam cleaners for auto detailing include the Pro6 Duo and Unilux for their durability and basic detailing tools; our Desiderio Plus for their injection and extraction features that provide full functionality.

Don't be an "old school" auto detailer -- be on the cutting edge of detailing and start cleaning with steam!
