Steam cleaners are the new generation cleaning appliance for deep cleaning and sanitising most surfaces without the need for detergents. To produce steam is rather simple, we need a boiler with an heating element, normal tap water and mains power. To obtain a good quality steam, however, is the real challenge. In fact, every manufacturer adopts different solutions with the aim of obtaining the best steam quality with the most reliable and durable system. Each system has pros and cons; the boiler that has the heating element inside, immersed in the water, reaches the ready pressure/temperature more quickly but it is subjected to limestone incrustation so that a regular maintenance is required to extend its lifetime. The boiler that has the heating element placed outside, not immersed in the water, takes a little bit more time to reach the ready temperature/pressure but it is free from that limestone problem. This last system, however, may generate higher temperature inside the machine, for the heating plate is generally placed under the bottom of the boiler and good insulation is required. We consider good quality steam the one generated with low humidity at high temperature and supplied in constant amount. It seems a contradiction but professionals in this field call good quality steam "hot dry steam". Another important factor is that the system should grant a sufficient operating time according to the size of the area to be cleaned. f the area to be cleaned.
