Selecting the Right Detailing Brushes for Steam Cleaners

The heat of a steam cleaner breaks the bonds holding dirt molecules to a surface. A powerful steam cleaner, such as machines offered by Daimer®, can reach temperatures of 360°F, which is strong enough to help remove ingrained stains and residues. Daimer®’s top machines also have a wet vacuum option that helps in removal of dirt after steam is applied. However, detailing brushes are a necessary accessory for scraping the dirt off the surface.

Daimer® provides nylon, stainless steel, and brass detailing brushes as accessories for steam cleaners. These brushes are available in sets of 10, 20, and 50 at extremely affordable prices. The type you should select depends on the surface you plan to use the brush on. Nylon brushes are the softest and ideal for use on softer surfaces, such as those with glossy finish or on metals, which can be easily scratched or dented by harder brushes.

Brass detailing brushes are harder than nylon ones. These are suitable for harder surfaces, such as window frames, railings, grills, tiles, and grouts. Stainless steel brushes are the most abrasive and ideal for rugged surfaces and tough applications, like gum removal on concrete. When facing a variety of applications, purchasing all three types will be beneficial, as it will allow you to match the brush to the surface as needed.

A first-time user unfamiliar with brushes should first start cleaning with the softest brush. If that does not work, replace it with a brass or steel brush. Sometimes, brushes might become ineffective if the surface cools down, so instead of scrubbing harder, try applying more steam.

What Is the Difference between Steam Cleaners and Steam Pressure Washers?

When looking to find the right steam cleaners, people often come across other types of cleaning machines, like steam pressure washers. Naturally, they wonder what makes these units so different. It is important to understand the difference between these two machines before purchasing, to assure that you select the right machine for the cleaning applications at hand. While steam cleaners are suitable for many commercial cleaning tasks, steam pressure washers are best used for tough industrial cleaning jobs.

Daimer® offers a line of steam pressure washing machines specifically created to deal with the toughest industrial cleaning tasks. Unlike steam cleaners, which only have about 5 percent water vapor, steam pressure washers utilize wet steam for enhanced cleaning power. This high moisture content is ideal for blasting away debris and grease during the cleaning process. The Super Max™ 12800SP is an example of a steam pressure washer that utilizes Super-HOT™ technology to achieve high steam temperatures up to 330°F. These temperatures are effective in readily dissolving grease and other stubborn stains while blasting them away with highly pressurized water.

Since steam cleaners generate very little water vapor in comparison, they are best suited for cleaning hard surfaces, as in commercial kitchens and bathrooms and for spot cleaning carpets and upholstery. Steam cleaners, on the other hand, reach temperatures up to 360°F and can readily sanitize surfaces. Daimer's KleenJet® steam cleaners can be paired with ATIS® anti-bacterial technology or gum removal systems for superior cleaning capabilities. While both steam cleaners and steam pressure washers use the cleaning power of steam, it is clear that they are to be used for different tasks.
