Steam cleaning

[Moritz]

Hi guys,
I was wondering if you could use steam cleaners that are used for stripping wallpaper could be used to clean the wooden walls of mewses and aviaries? Could you use it for blocks etc.?

I use a hot water jet wash to clean everything, it can be turned up to full steam and makes a very effective job on everything, especially when on steam moritz!

I think you will find that a power washer will force out the wood preserve and leave the panel rough and colorless which in turn will need re-treated with preserve, the steam cleaner would be OK for small areas eg work tops ,blocks and perches, it would take a while to do a large area with the steam cleaner,

Funny that cause i've been useing mine for 10 years?? should have thought of that eh???

Variable pressure does help tho:wink:

I would like to use the steam for getting the green stuff of the walls in breeding pens but as birds will be in the next aviary I can not use a power washer. Adrian what is the name and fabricat of your washer? Where can I get it from. Is it faster than brushing by hand?

Thx

does the steam get hot enough when it hits the surface to kill bacteria? if it does thats another positive for it

[Moritz]

Steam is allways above 100 C, there for it should kill most or all bacteria. That is the reason I would like to use it. So Adrain where can I get the steamer you use?

Thx
