I turn the heat to very low for tile. To much heat can damage it. I've got to be pushing 3 gallons on my 870 and on low heat it stays at 195. You can't touch the return tube after a couple of minutes it's to hot. I completely turn it off now and it's around 170. Plenty hot for tile.Truckmount stem clean...more water the better...also need fuel heat...
Should have between 1-2 gallons per minute water flow....
Easy to add fuel heat.......to any truckmount...

Correctsteam cleaning tile and grout is retarded. Not in a joking way saying it's dumb, but literally retarded. I don't see the point. A good cleaner and mechanical agitation with extraction is the best way IMO.
The Nacecare DP420 is a fine machine and covers a lot of ground efficiently.
However, I disagree that vapor steam cleaning is a waste of time, especially in a residential setting. I use 400F vapor to do grout lines and believe me, it works. Since the pressure is relatively low, there is no impact damage to grout. Since the water flow is negligible, there is almost no injection under the tile and since the temperature is ridiculous, the grout is flushed deeply into the porous matrix.
Slops recovery is complete with a squeegee/steam head. Edging is easy with a steam vacuum crevice tool attached.
Perfection is not promised and seldom attained. Production can be limited, but it is of superb quality. The floor is about as close to clean as can be done and some people will pay for that.
I like people who pay for that..

My daughters b day yesterday, otherwise i would have joined in....Mikey, is there going to be a you tube video?
Cameron, last night you convinced my son that his old pops needs to come take your class. Got room for one more?
OK clarify this statement for me
As I see it. Turbo Hybrid= is steam cleaning= the most effective clean/ rinse available today for professionals.

I wouldn't touch a straight line like that for a week in Destin...Yeah, CRB is better.
I can certainly see a place for a steam machine in tile cleaning, but my problem is just where to cram it in the van?
