Ask yourself. Why Steam

In the not so distant past, have us as South Africans quickly learned how tough and stricken the world can become if we don’t have water. It is a scarcity that no one wants to encounter but one that is in actual fact becoming a reality in our beautiful country.

Water is used everywhere and especially in the cleaning industry, using an average of 500L of water just to clean one car, and this not even with a valet but just a normal wash. My previous carwash washed on average a total of 3000 cars per month, this gives you roughly 1.5 mega litres of water that is used per month. Or in normal terms, 1.5 Million litres.

This is one of the biggest reasons why Big Mikes decided to take the risk and innovate into the steam cleaning systems for car washing. When looking at the steam systems and the difference in water usage compared to the conventional methods, will one soon realise that you save a minimum of 85% of water usage per car. With properly trained personnel, can one wash and sanitize a complete vehicle with less than 5L of water and that is not even to mention the lesser chemicals that is also being used.

This systems can be used on any surface, vinyl, leather, upholstery etc. it removes and lifts dirt that has settled into micro cracks and crevices allowing for the vacuum cleaner to work faster and more effectively. It will never damage the paint of the vehicle due to the high UV protection that automotive manufactures use in their paints. It is in reality safer for your vehicles paint due to the fact that the steam does the work, lesser abrasive washing by hand or machine and no chemicals are needed to help remove the dirt.

Steam can be used in any setting, one of the best factors around the quality of cleaning is the fact that steam cleaning also a sanitizing clean delivers. It eliminates any bacteria or germs and can also function as a deodorizer for your interior as well as your cars air-con. On a dirty car you use a wet steam, allowing the steamer to eject a bit more water with the steam, still functioning between 7-9 bar of pressure not leaving any particles behind.

So, just ask yourself the question, Why steam? The facts speak for itself and the world is evolving into a greener eco-system. Big Mikes has innovated into that eco-system and is proud to introduce steam to the South African carwash industry on a national scale. The best thing of it all is that not only are you making a difference to the environment, but your car also receives a cleaner and healthier shine than ever before.
