1. What is it?
A Vapor System may look like a vacuum - it is not.  It is not the conventional "steam" cleaner nor is it a pressure washer.  It is a new appliance that uses only a little water and a little electricity to clean, sanitize and deodorize virtually any surface - without using chemicals.  Back To Top

2. How does it work?
Using less than a gallon of tap water, this multi-purpose appliance creates a low moisture vapor that carries heat to the surface you wish to treat.  The heat combined with light agitation does the work for you.  This appliance comes with a variety of accessories creating a system that can be used on an unlimited number of applications.  The system can be used for carpets as well as oven cleaning.  The process eliminates chemical residues while sanitizing the surface being treated.  Because so little water is consumed (approximately 1.5 quarts per hour) it's virtually "mess free".  The Vapor System is quiet and portable, allowing for use anytime and anywhere.  Back To Top

3. What is "Dry" Steam Vapor?
An oxymoron?  Perhaps.  This describes a system that produces a high temperature, low moisture vapor.  The vapor contains only 5% to 6% water and is much less dense than the air we breathe.  Over the past few years you may have been exposed to products being promoted as "steam cleaners" that in fact use no steam at all, maybe warm water on a good day.  These so called "steam machines" spray on large amounts of water using quantities described in 'gallons per minute'.  You may ask, "Where's the steam?"  The Vapor System, by contrast, is equipped to safely produce thousands of gallons of live dry steam using only about 1.5 quarts of water per hour.  This significant difference relates directly to the versatility and capabilities of the Vapor System.  It is unlike anything you have before.  It is mess free with temperatures hot enough to kill bacteria and germs and to emulsify grease, oil and other surface contaminants.  Back To Top

4. What can I use it on?
The system is practical for any surface with the exception of those surfaces that are extremely sensitive.  Surfaces such as silks, some very thin plastics and some types of velour upholstery must be treated with great care.  The system has additional uses besides cleaning and sanitation.  Defrosting refrigerators, thawing frozen pipes, dusting and misting live plants and polishing jewelry are but a few of the non-cleaning applications.  The use of the system in general contributes to better indoor air quality by reducing residual chemicals and removing airborne particles.  Back To Top

5. Where do the chemicals go?
The appliance use only clean, clear, potable water.  No chemicals are used in this system.  Back To Top

6. Where does the water go?
The water enters a special tank or boiler that super eats the water and changes it into a hot "dry" mist or vapor, therefore, the name Vapor System.  The unique benefit of this system is that it produces a low moisture, high temperature vapor that contains only about 6% water.  We call this "dry steam vapor" because so little water is left behind and so little is used.  This patented system gives us the proven power of heat to safely clean and sanitize while reducing chemical usage.  Carpets are dry within minutes.  Floors are also dry within a few minutes.  This reduces the time and effort required for so many tasks.  Back To Top

7. Where does the soap go?
The system uses only potable water and heat to clean and sanitize.  This reduces the amounts and residues of cleaning chemicals.  It lowers your exposure to toxins and helps prevent further degradation of the environment at the same time.  It also saves us from pouring expensive chemicals down the drain.  Flushing waste down the drain ultimately contributes to the contamination of our limited fresh water resources and is costing us more in the form of more expensive sewer treatment as well.  Back To Top

8. How much pressure does it produce?
The appliance produces only low pressures, usually in the range of 50 to 66 PSI.  The low pressure makes it a very safe and easy system to use.  Low pressures are also essential for getting the job done without creating a huge mess.  The heat concentrated at the work surface does the work.  The heat dissipates quickly once the vapor expands into the atmosphere.  This system is designed to be used through "surface contact" with areas of concern.  Back To Top

9. Why don't I just scrub away with soap and a sponge?
Our existing cleaning regimen consists of applying a chemical or abrasive cleaner and then wiping or scrubbing the surface until the contaminant appears to be removed.  This method is superficial at best, requires much physical effort, often degrades the surface, exposes our skin and lungs to harsh or toxic fumes and leaves behind chemical residues which dull and attract dirt back to the finished surface.  The Vapor System removes surface contaminants without degrading the surface.  The heat combined with very fine water removes contaminants and leaves the surface free of chemical residues.  Visually superior results are achieved with less effort and no exposure to potentially discomforting or harmful effects.  The Vapor System also allows you to sanitize and deodorize areas that are impossible to treat mechanically or chemically.  Why not let the heat do the work?  It's easier and does a better job in less time.  Back To Top

10. Where does the dirt go?
Depending on the application, the dirt loosened by the Vapor System is simultaneously absorbed in a terry cloth bonnet or rinsed or wiped away using an absorbent cloth.  Back To Top

11. I have terrible allergies to common household pests like dust mites and fleas.  How can this system help me?
The Vapor System, unlike other cleaning or pest control methods, uses heat to do the job, NOT CHEMICALS OR POISONS.  Let's consider the dust mite which lives in our clothes, mattresses, carpets and upholstery.  The recommended treatment for dust mites is to launder the concerned item in water at a temperature of at least 130° F, or treat the surface with a tannic acid solution.  This may be difficult to do with carpets, couches and mattresses, or your best suit coat, which probably is the most highly contaminated.  The Vapor System comes to the rescue in this case because it provides you with a method of penetrating all of those surfaces thoroughly with temperatures in excess of 180° F.  The heat kills the mites without overly wetting the surfaces.  Minimal wetting is important because mites favor a humid environment.  Using the Vapor System's fine hot mist prevents this from occurring.  The treated articles are completely dry in a matter of minutes, not hours.  After treating a surface for dust mites it is recommended that you vacuum it thoroughly with a HEPA equipped vacuum to remove particulate matter.  Fleas, flea eggs and flea larvae are also killed by short term exposure to high temperature heat carried by very fine vapor reaching into the pores and pockets of fabric and carpets.  No poisons here to affect children, pets or indoor air quality.  Back To Top

12. I have chemical sensitivities.  How can this help me?
Because the system uses only water, you are not introducing anything into your environment that has NEW chemicals or NEW odors that may affect your well-being.  Using the system will actually remove chemical residues left behind from previous cleaning procedures as well as remove odors, such as perfumes, from garments and other fabrics.  In addition, using the system provides you wit a means of sanitizing many critical surfaces without using odiferous, toxic germicides.  However, if you suffer from chronic and severe chemical sensitivity you should have someone else actually do the work, particularly during the initial cleanup.  Because the system even reaches into the pores of fabric and hard surfaces, it will drive out contaminates and chemical residues from those surfaces.  This may have an adverse effect on you until those contaminates are completely removed.  Back To Top

13. Why haven't I heard of this before?
If you reside in North America the answer is very straightforward.  This appliance, while having been available in Europe for several years, is just now being introduced to the North American market.  Because our electrical power supply is different from European electrical system, the products needed to be reengineered for use here.  Safety-minded suppliers have also taken it upon themselves to be sure that safety approvals such as Underwriters Laboratory and ETL listings were in place before introducing them to this market.  Back To Top

14. Where does this technology come from?
This technology is closely related to the espresso machine.  The manufacturer is located in Northern Italy where the espresso technology has been produced for many years.  Vapor Professionals is your source for residential size Vapor Systems as well as systems for a wide variety of businesses in the commercial market.  For more information on the Vapor Professional product line check out our Products pageBack To Top

15. Are these systems being used on a commercial basis?
Yes, they are.  Many of these systems are being used in hospitals, retirement care facilities, the food industry, hospital industry, and government institutions such as schools and universities.  The use of these systems improves indoor air quality, reduces the physical effort needed for cleaning and provides a more thorough approach to cleaning.  Because the use of chemicals is reduced and because water does not involve the regulatory requirements that many cleaning chemicals require, the system requires less management time and reduces paperwork.  For more information or a free demonstration of this remarkable product contact usBack To Top

16. Of all the models you carry which is best for me?
Good question.  The models vary with the number and type of accessories, their tank capacity, and a variety of control features.  The best way to determine which is best for you is to consult with a Vapor Professional representative.  He or she can show you the differences and you can see how the system relates to your specific needs.  Contact us at (888) 922-4507.  Back To Top
