Improve your mobile car wash profits using the Optima Steamer.

Throughout the U.S. the Optima Steamer is greatly improving productivity and profit margins for mobile car wash and detailing operators.  The Optima Steamer’s ability to clean both car interiors and exteriors has made it the most sought after tool in the mobile car wash industry.  Cleaning with steam has many advantages over traditional methods.  

Reduce Your Water Consumption

For mobile car wash operators, the Optima Steamer can reduce water consumption by 95%.  Using steam, an operator can clean a car using less than one gallon of water.    Not only will steam reduce your water consumption and water bill, it will also reduce the equipment and space necessary to contain water.   Weight reduction will greatly improve vehicle fuel consumption, saving you money.  In fact, many mobile car wash operators using traditional pressure washers tow or carry over 250 gallons of water (over 2,085 lbs). 

Eliminate Waste-Water

Untreated waste-water impacts the environment.  The equipment required for containing waste-water and the cost to maintain it decreases productivity and profit.   Using the Optima Steamer, a mobile car wash operator can clean a car without producing waste-water.   Eliminating the need for a waste-water reclamation mat and containment system decreases wash time per car and increases your earning potential. 

Reduce Your Chemical Consumption

Steam allows a mobile car wash operator to drastically reduce their chemical consumption.    In fact, steam eliminates your need for window cleaning chemicals.  For many mobile car wash operators using the Optima Steamer, the minimum chemicals necessary to wash a car include a biodegradable citrus degreaser, a general purchase tire, plastic, and vinyl shine, and a liquid wax to add surface protection. 

Reduce Your Exterior Wash Time

Steam greatly reduces exterior wash time.  The traditional method of car washing is a five step process (pre-rinse, soap, rinse, dry and wax).   Using steam, there are only two steps.   Step one, the operator sprays the vehicle’s surface with steam and then dries the surface with a microfiber towel.   Step two, the operator applies a surface protectant. 

Reduce Your Interior Drying Time

The most commonly used tool for upholstery cleaning is the hot water carpet injector/extractor.  It works by injecting hot water and detergent under pressure onto upholstery and then immediately sucking it up.

Despite its popularity, up to 20% of the water injected onto the upholstery can remain inside the car, leaving the interior damp.  Damp interiors can quickly lead to the production of mold spurs and bacteria, in addition to producing unpleasant odors.  A damp interior attracts dirt faster, further adding to customer irritation.  In areas of high humidity, providing the customer a dry interior is priority.  To prevent damp interiors using the traditional method, mobile vehicle wash operators perform additional vacuuming of treated areas and use air movers to improve drying time. 

Use steam to avoid damp interiors.   Steam is a light, super-heated, vapor.  Steam penetrates dirt quickly.  Using steam, upholstery dries in seconds, not minutes.   

Reduce Your Equipment Requirement

Mobile car wash and detailing equipment cost money.  It cost even more to maintain and train employees on each piece of equipment.   The Optima Steamer can eliminate your need for a pressure washer, injector/extractor, waste-water reclamation mat, buckets, wash mitts and an air compressor. 

Increase Your Customer Menu Options

Steam cleans everything easily.  With minimum effort, offer your customers more menu options.   Use steam to restore leather and remove stains from upholstery and floor mats.  Quickly and easily removes brake dust and engine grime.  Steam even sanitizes and deodorizes surfaces on contact.  Plus, with the Optima Steamer’s dual hose system, you can double your cleaning capacity. 

The Optima Steamer is on course to become the must-have tool for mobile car wash and detailing operators.   Not only is the Optima Steamer a cost-saving and profit boosting tool, it is eco-friendly.  Contact Steamericas Inc. to learn more about the Optima Steamer.
