January 3, 2022 11:06 am

Steam cleaning has turned into one of the most sought-after ways to clean and sanitize car interiors and exteriors and is transforming the car wash industry worldwide. Steam being natural unlike the potentially harmful cleaning agents that are used in the conventional process of car sanitization, it serves both the purpose of cleaning and sanitizing the car.

The steam cleaning technique uses hot high strength steam vapor to ease both the exterior and interior of the vehicle and is equally effective for light and deep cleaning which will make the vehicle’s interiors shine. There are several factors that have made car steam cleaning a popular sanitization alternative and let’s have a look at them:

 

1. Eco-friendly sanitization

One of the most important reasons for car steam cleaning’s popularity is its eco-friendliness, which can give both the interiors and exteriors of your car a new appearance, without the use of harmful chemicals that can be toxic for you and your family; especially children.

Requiring a minimal quantity of water, and zero detergents, steam cleaning can easily clean all parts and surfaces of your car without much effort; unlike conventional cleaning.  It can also prevent wastewater runoff and save electricity as well, adding to its eco-friendliness.

 

2. Sanitization of the air conditioning system

The high-temperature steam used for steam cleaning is a powerful means to kill fungus, bacteria, and other contaminants from the inside of your car’s air conditioning system. Steam sanitization apart from guaranteeing total and effective cleaning also filters grids, plastic structures, fan the heat exchanger, and other components of the air conditioning system.

Sanitization of the air conditioning system of cars is of utmost importance, especially with an ongoing pandemic there in the backdrop of our lives. It is also important for people who suffer from various respiratory problems or allergies.

 

3. Scratch-proof technique

Conventional car cleaning methods use harmful chemicals, brushes, or clothes that often have chances of leaving scratch marks or spots on the surface of the car. Whereas, the car steam cleaning process which uses steam in its gaseous state completely eliminates this risk as there is zero surface contact made while cleaning.

Steam cleaning also leaves the surfaces completely dry instantly and the surfaces are only required to be gently wiped off using a mop or a cloth. It also prevents windows from being streaky and makes them appear fresh as new.

 

4. Smooth process

Compared to the conventional car cleaning methods, with minimal usage of technology and operational grounds, steam cleaning is a smooth process without much hustle. It can also cut costs and save time with the mobile service that is available at the doorsteps of your home.

With certain interior parts or surfaces of the car like fabric being sensitive and do not require hard cleaning, car steam cleaning is the perfect process for cleaning them without any damage. It also does away with the tedious tasks of scrubbing and is capable of giving the interiors and exteriors of your car a bright fresh look.

 

5. Enters hard-to-reach surfaces

Some of the interior parts or areas of your car such as air vents, ashtrays, armrests, dashboards, and cup holders are hard to reach with a brush or cloth, and for the same reasons stay uncleaned after the common ways of cleaning.

Whereas, with the steam cleaning process, the hot high strength steam is capable of reaching such hard-to-reach surfaces and every nook and corner of the car, cleaning and disinfecting them easily.

 

6. Keeps the paint fresh

Conventional car cleaning methods use hard brushes and various abrasive materials that often leave spots and scratches on your car while cleaning and may also damage the car’s paint and eventually dull the finish and overall appearance of the car.

The steam cleaning process which requires no chemicals and brushes along with zero contact on your car rules out all possibilities of any scratches and paint damage and at the same time gives your car a dazzling new look.
