Steam Pressure Cleaners
Harnessing the Cleaning Power of High Pressure Steam


Steam pressure cleaners, also known as steam pressure washers, are the most effective, efficient, and versatile cleaning equipments around. A steam pressure washer is one type of pressure washer, which uses high pressure to emit either hot water, cold water, or steam.

There are, however, some combination pressure washers that can emit all three types of cleaning agents, although steam pressure washers are considered as the most powerful cleaning machines.

Steam pressure washers use a mechanical sprayer to emit high pressure steam over the surface or material that need to be cleaned. The steam can blast away even the stickiest forms of dirt including grease, oil residues, grime, mold, dust, and mud.

What to Look For in A Steam Pressure Cleaner

  • High temperature – An efficient steam pressure washer should be able to emit steam with temperatures of around 250 to 330 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • High pressure – The higher the pressure, the easier it will be for the machine to blast away all sorts of sticky dirt and residue. Commercial and industrial grade washers usually have anywhere between 750 and 30,000 psi of pressure.
  • Wet steam – If you want faster cleaning, look for those that emit wet steam as opposed to those that emit dry vapor. In a wet steam cleaner, after the steam loosens up the dirt, the wetness will automatically wash them away.

    #1 For Industrial Use - Daimer SuperMax 12300SP

    Searching for steam pressure cleaners for industrial use? Daimer is known as the name to go to in such cases, and one of its most powerful machines is the Daimer SuperMax 12300SP, which is a high pressure cleaner that emits 100% wet steam. Powered by propane, the SuperMax 12300SP emits steam at 3000 psi of pressure with a flow rate of 5 GPM. It is capable of achieving steam temperature of 330 degrees F.

    You can use it continuously, without having to stop for refills often, thanks to its 50 lbs. water tank. The steam nozzle and the high pressure steam hose can help you reach hard to reach areas such as crevices and nooks. If you have more meticulous cleaning needs, you can invest in additional customizable lengths for the steam hose.

    The Daimer SuperMax 12300 is made of powder-coated steel and has a high-gloss look. It does not chip easily and can resist chemical exposure. Though heavy, this industrial grade pressure cleaner won’t make cleaning difficult thanks to its built-in wheels.

    #2 For Home Use - Euroflex Monster EZ1 Steam Mop and Floor Steam Cleaner

    There are also steam pressure cleaners designed for use at home. Although regular steam cleaners and vacuum cleaners are usually enough for residential use, a pressure washer can cut your cleaning time by a significant margin.

    This makes for faster and most cost-efficient cleaning, especially for large residences. The Euroflex Monster EZ1 uses 4 different steam levels, so you can choose which is most appropriate for your current cleaning need. Ideally, use the lowest steam level for cleaning delicate flooring, the medium level for hardwood floors, and the highest for thick or severely soiled carpets.

    The machine also emits steam with 1000 watts of power and 3.5 bar pressure from two directions, one from the bottom and one from the front of the machine; this means you can cover a larger area in one pass. The use of steam reaching up to 266 degrees F makes it effective in cleaning not just dirt but also dust mites, mold, and other allergens that threaten the health of your household. Absolutely no chemicals are used in the cleaning process.

    The EZ1 is recommended for cleaning bathrooms, kitchens, and various hard floor surfaces. When you attach the Carpet Glide tool, it also becomes perfect for cleaning carpets and rugs.

    With such pressure, the machine can easily blow away even sticky grime and grease, along with other types of surface dirt and residue. Plus, since it’s wet steam, your water consumption will decrease by about 80%. This product comes with some useful accessories:

  • Vario Power Spray Wand for all-around cleaning

    Why Use A Steam Pressure Cleaner?

    The advantage of steam is that it can penetrate through the sticky dirt to loosen them up, but there is no actual water to damage or seep through the surfaces or structure you are cleaning. This is why steam pressure washers are ideal for cleaning concrete and hardwood floor surfaces
