How Good Are Steam Vacuum Cleaners At Degreasing?

Steam vacuum cleaners are among the most effective cleaning machines available today. For instance, the KleenJet® Supreme 3000CV from Daimer® is a commercial steam cleaner that can attain pressure levels of up to 96 psi and temperatures of up to 329ºF for unmatched cleaning power. In addition, since the density of steam generated by these steam-cleaning machines is about 200 percent more than that of other brands, it translates into even greater cleaning power.

However, unlike what most people believe, steam vacuum cleaners are not the best cleaning solutions for heavy-duty degreasing tasks in industrial settings. Difficult degreasing projects in industrial environments require cleaning machines that offer high temperatures and high pressure levels. Although steam vacuum cleaners feature high temperatures, the lack of adequate pressure makes them unsuitable for these degreasing jobs.

Industrial equipment with greasy build-up is best tackled with steam pressure washers like the models in the Super Max™ series from Daimer®. While steam vacuum cleaners soften residues and extract them, pressure washers feature sufficient power to blast deposits away for more powerful cleaning. For degreasing, it is best to use these steam pressure cleaners in the wet steam mode, to allow for effective dissolving and removal of stubborn grease.
