Hi

Would you recommend using a steam cleaner or not?

Have Annual Kitchen Deep Clean job. It's a fully equipped commercial stainless steel kitchen in a community hall, used by various groups eg dance, church meetings, including small pre-school during term time for mainly light meal preparation for about three hours day. In other words light duty use, generally low but some medium level soil and grease.

Have done a few commercial kitchens and never thought of using a steam cleaner. Usually achieve good results with detergents + agitation + warm to hot water + dwell time - especially for extraction filters and stainless steel polish. Rotary scrubber for altra flooring + wet vac.

Any comments welcome.

Thanks

Grant

That depends on a few variables really.

Type of clean
How often in use

I have used some really expensive steam cleaners that were great, and I have also used some cheaper steam cleaners, that matched up to the more expensive ones.

The more expensive generally you get more presure. Which if you are doing alot of commercial cleans in kitchens then go for the more expensive.

below is a link, for the more expensive, not these are not designed for bubble gum removal. I am not saying you can use it for that but not what was intended for

If you like, Karcher do some steam cleaners that are alright and will get you out of trouble. They range from around £400 -£800 mark where as the others are in the region of £1500 - +++++ some upto £3000++
