KBS Klean in a steam cleaner

Featured Replies

Lately, I have been seeing these viral videos about using a type of steam cleaning machine that hooks to an air compressor and uses a solution to clean grime. Has KBS Klean been used in one of these effectively? If this works, can you recommend a quality product for steam cleaning?

Good question, and those videos are fun to watch. Here is where things stand with KBS Klean and that type of setup.

KBS Klean is confirmed to work in power washing equipment for fast, deep cleaning on heavy buildup. It is water-based, low-foaming, non-flammable, and rinses without leaving a residue, so it holds up well when pushed through pressure equipment. That part is well established and on the label.

The compressor-fed steam or vapor units you are describing are a newer category, and we have not run KBS Klean through one of those specific machines to confirm performance or long-term compatibility with their internals. Because of that, we cannot point you to a specific unit as a recommendation. What I can tell you is that KBS Klean's non-corrosive, non-toxic, phosphate-free formula gives it a good shot at working well in that kind of equipment.

If you want to try it, I would run a small test batch through the machine first and check with the machine's manufacturer on chemical compatibility for its seals, hoses, and injector, since that is specific to the unit rather than to KBS Klean itself.

Full product details and directions are here:

I appreciate the feedback as always. I would love to use KBS Klean in a pressure washer, which I have, but I am working out of my garage on my restoration and that amount of water would be an issue. The steam cleaners appear to use way less water which would be ideal for my situation.

If I end up trying one out, I'll post an update. Thanks!
