HOW TO USE A STEAMER

Dry steamers use super - heated steam under pressure to loosen the soiling off the surface. The soil is collected on a cloth which needs to be changed at very frequent intervals. You will get a build- up of excess water which also needs to be removed. Steaming is a popular method of carpet and upholstery cleaning but will cause shrinkage if the material is delicate. Wool springs to mind immediately here and there is no pun intended, either. A pure wool material will shrink easily and quickly. Steaming will not remove ground in machine oil, nor clean really dirty surfaces. You must allow time for soaking by a detergent solution before using a steamer as a cleaning solution.
You must also look at the time it is going to take you to clean. For ever, in our experience. Take care when using this steam at this temperature.

GRAFFITTI REMOVAL

Spray cans and paint! Remove with paint thinners but be extremely careful on plastics as these could be melted with the thinners. Try not to breathe in the vapours. Alternatively, use alcohol as meths or paint remover and wash after with pressure washing or steaming. There is no real satisfactory graffiti removal which is easy and instantaneous.

HOW TO CLEAN OFF BIRD LIME

Think this stuff is a joke? We have avoided this job for years. It gets all round buildings in town centres and becomes a health risk. Really heavy incrustations need soaking and rinsing off. If you do have large quantities to move, make sure that you wear breathing masks before you start the job.
Pressure wash it away so that it does not powder. This stuff can affect your lungs very easily, as can chicken muck.
