Hi guys,

First, let me wish you all the best for 2012!

I'm looking to add a dry steam cleaning service to the my company but I'm really not sure what equipment I should get... I did some research on the web but there are so many company claiming they have the best equipment on the market that I'm really not sure which product I should select and as for the pricing, it range from 500$ to 6000$. What I want to offer to my customers is kitchen equipment cleaning and indoor-window A/C cleaning.

Any of you guys use dry steam cleaner? If so, what would you suggest for equipment?


Thanks,
 
If you mean a "steam only machine" then I am not sure if the dry steam will work as good as a semi-wet steam system for cleaning.

There are some companies out there that make steam machines like Steam Jenny which has been around since the 1940's or longer but there is a company that also makes steam machines called Dai*er. I don't want to promote their name but you can figure out what their name is. The owner of the company is a real azzhole, prick and piece of shizz to put it nicely. They claim to have the best equipment out there, lifetime on boilers, blah blah blah. When dealing with them on the phone is such a pain in the azz, imagine if you have real issues after the "high pressure sale" that they offer.

I am not into games, lies or other "high pressure sales" type bullshizz so I never bought from them.

The Steam Jenny, I am not sure if they offer a hose long enough to reach inside the building from the truck or trailer, you would need to call them on that but their steam gets to 325 degrees but I don't think that the pressure goes up too high but apparently it is good for degreasing, wish I could see one in person as I like those machines and would like to own one for particular uses. There are a couple youtube videos on youtube showing the Steam Jenny in use.

I think that steam cleaning has some good uses and purposes but has not been popular due to the faster cleaning with more volumes of hot water and degreasers available but that does not say that steam cleaning does not work, it does a good job also.

Hope this helps.

Anyone here own a Steam Jenny that can chime in?

First off what are you cleaning specificly. We clean food processing lines and depending on the level of clean you need for FDA approval you can use most standard hot water machines along with the appropriate chems.

One caveat: Cleaning food equipment indoors requires a specific insurance policy. We have a large contract because the previous company had a general pressurewashing insurance policy and did over 10K in damage to electronics and their insurance told then no way do they cover that.

Steam Jenny is a brand and while many do produce steam you can do a great job with a low pressure higher volume unit that is electric you can take indoors.
The company Chris is talking about is daimer. They make small units that are just not big enough to ervice the volume we do and to be honest you would spend hours cleaning a kitchen with their equipment when you can modify some common equipment to do a quicker job.

Yeah! I saw their website, as per their words they have the best on the market... I saw others, like Dupr*y and Vapam*re but before I make up my mind I wanted to know what others were thinking since those units are very expensive! As far as KEC I'm only using hot pressure washer, the dry steam cleaning will be only to clean interior-window A/C since I'm servicing a lot of Motels that have those inside each room and lately I've received some demands on who clean those... As an add-on service for those guys I said to myself why can't I offer this service?

Thanks,
 
The Sioux corporation makes some nice looking steam cleaners. You might be better off just modifying a hot water pressure washer for steam. That way you could have the option of either low volume steam or good volume hot water.
 
Alexy, pm me more about this that you are doing with the restaurant equipment, I would like to know more about it and what specifically the code is or info on the additional insurance.

Thanks.
 
I do some interior stone /granite cleaning with steam. I have a Vapour Blitz. Kitchen/restuarant cleaning is tricky when steam is introduced because baking and mixing recipes are effected the next day.

Steam is Great as long as its not a Bakery or a Place with Lots of paper products. be careful , Ive bought lots of paper
 
Thanks for the advice guys... Like I was saying I'm not really going to use the dry steam cleaner in restaurant, except for some special projects. I'm looking to add this service for some Interior A/C coil cleaning for motels, residential owners, and some specialized cleaning request I've been getting other than pressure washing... For my regular restaurant KEC customer I already have what's needed to perform the jobs!
