Goodway
has the vapor steam cleaner and accessories both for commercial
and industrial maintenance. The Goodway vapor steam cleaner is
the GVC-2200V. The goodway vapor steam cleaner kills germs on
contact. It heats tap water in its boiler to 360 degrees F, producing
a dry vapor steam with an adjustable pressure of 0-90PSI, an output
temperature of 290 degrees F.
When vapor steam touches a cold surface it expands,
explosively loosening dirt, grease and grime. Vapor steam's high heat
instantly kills bacteria, fungus, mold, mildew and other micro organisms
without the use of harsh chemicals. The adjustable pressure allows the
operator to release sufficient vapor steam to thoroughly clean any surface
without reduced visibility. The vapor steam cleaner unit comes with a
chemical-injection system for additional cleaning power and features
a built-in vacuum to recover loosened debris and liquids. Specially designed
cleaning tools and accessories allow the cleaning of not only flat surfaces,
but also of cracks and crevices where dirt and micro organism contamination
would be difficult or even impossible to remove by any other method.
Goodway's vapor steam cleaner has multiple
applications and a full range of accessories are available. Goodway
has a vapor steam cleaner to serve all of your different cleaning
applications, from light to heavy duty. Remember, Goodway Sales

vapor steam cleaner.
It
is said that vapor steam cleaner technology originated from a
bartender in Italy who began using the steam from his cappuccino
machine to clean lipstick marks from his bar glasses. Vapor steam
cleaners have been popular in Europe for more than 30 years. In
Europe the standard electric service is 230 volts which yields
enough wattage to create steam in an electric boiler. In the United
States, the standard service is 115 volts which yields only half
the wattage. The amperage needed to produce enough watts at 110
volts has, until recently, the use of a vapor steam cleaner impractical
for the US market. The technology now exists to produce electric
boilers that can heat water to 330 F using only 115 volts.
Vapor steam cleaners are now available in a wide range of prices
and quality of construction. Simple hand held models for residential
use can be purchased for as little as $110.00. For industrial
use, one should expect to pay between $2000.00 and $4500.00, depending
on quality and features. Machines are available that deliver steam
only, steam plus the capability of dispensing high temperature
cleaning solutions to accelerate cleaning. The newest feature
to be introduced is the addition of an integral vacuum for recovery
of water and deposits. Vapor steam cleaners that do not incorporate
this vacuum feature require the use of rags or wipes to remove
loosened soil. Top end models will offer features such as stainless
steel housings, all stainless steel boilers and many safety features.
They will also offer the most generous warranty coverage.
What to Look for When Selecting a Vapor Steam
Cleaner:
High steam temperature - the higher the temperature at the boiler,
the higher the discharge temperature. All vapor steam cleaners
lose some temperature between the boiler and the nozzle. Hotter
steam greatly increases cleaning effectiveness.
Stainless steel boiler - stainless steel resists corrosion
and limits heat transfer to its environment.
Safety devices such as water level sensor, boiler thermostat, pressure
switch, safety pressure valve and deaeration valve.
The ability to refill the vapor steam cleaner with water without
having to wait for the unit to cool down first. This feature can save
up to 20 minutes on every refill.
Large water reservoir.
Steam volume control - uses only the amount of steam needed
to do the job. Less steam enhances the vapor steam cleaner's ability
to maintain temperature.
Handling features such as wheels large enough to make it easy to
roll the vapor steam cleaner over rough surfaces or up and down stairs.
A good sturdy handle helps here, too.
Accessories - does the manufacturer offer the accessories needed
for all applications?
Warranty - look for a one year warranty on the machine and
a three year warranty on the boiler.
Vapor steam cleaners have been used primarily
for general cleaning and sanitizing of hard surfaces without the
use of chemicals. Applications include kitchen and bathroom grout
cleaning, restaurants, supermarkets, schools, hotels, apartment
buildings and private homes. In addition, property owners and
municipalities frequently use vapor steam cleaners for gum
removal. Using a vapor steam cleaner is environmentally friendly
and extremely effective and it leaves behind an oil and grease
free surface. The technology has recently found its way into industrial
applications. It is likely that a vapor steam cleaner purchased
with the intent of using it for one application will soon be used
for general cleaning all around the shop as they are great for
cleaning up production machinery and many other applications.
