Whether you like it or not, you would have to wash your car, and regularly too, if you want it to be conducive when you get in. Washing or cleaning of cars has been around since cars came into use, and the traditional way that has been used to clean up cars has been water. However, there’s a new and better way to clean up your car, and that way is steam cleaning.
What Is Steam Cleaning/Washing?
Steam cleaning is a method of cleaning cars, although it has been used prior to clean upholstery, fabrics, and rugs until it was introduced to cleaning cars. This method of car wash involves using steam/water vapors to clean both the exterior and interior of cars and automobiles generally. Using steam to wash your car requires just the steam hose and fabric for cleaning the surface, no chemicals whatsoever are used for this cleanup.
Benefits of Using Steam in Place of Water
- Better Shine – The vapor from the steam has the ability to clean little spaces in the interior of your car, removing grease, mud, and even to kill bacteria leading to a total shine in the exterior and interior, not to mention the elimination of bad odor. The exterior of your car would also shine better when you use steam because you won’t be needing any chemicals which may eventually stick to the body of your car, rather all you need is to wipe off after you’re done using the steam hose on the car surface. This way you can also be rest assured that there wouldn’t be any watermark left when you’re done cleaning your car, or even scratches that are sometimes caused by the pressure of water. It is also important to note that the steam also has pressure but doesn’t hurt if you were to place your hand against it.
- Eco Friendly – Saving the planet is everyone’s job and reducing the consumption of water is a great way to preserve the planet. While it takes about 25 to 30 gallons of water for a thorough clean on your car, it takes less than 1 gallon when you use steam, and cleans better, shocking right?. Now that you’ve discovered a great way to save water, you can tell your friends to try it out.
- Saves Cost – This applies if you’re steam cleaning at home or at your favorite car wash center, you get to save some bucks on this because car wash centers charge less for a steam cleaning than when you use water. If you’re washing with steam at home also, you get to save on your water bills.
- Dries Up Faster – When you steam clean your car, you won’t have to be bothered about the interior taking time to dry up because it’s vapor hence it doesn’t soak up your upholstery. Rather in a short while after the cleanup, your car would be ready to use. Also, if you own a car wash, it saves time to attend to more customers.
- Doesn’t Damage Your Engine – Most people fear for the impact of the steam on their engine. It is important to note that the effect of steam cleaning is very mild and won’t affect your car engine.
