What happens here

The presenter introduces the 'Optima Steamer' (by SteamAmerica), a steam lance hooked up to a steam machine. He demonstrates the steam's power, highlighting that the cleaning action occurs within the first few inches of the nozzle, where the steam reaches around 270°F (from a 360°F boiler temperature). He places a folded microfiber towel directly under the steam nozzle, touching the stained area of the car mat, and moves the steam lance and towel across the mat. The high-temperature steam, with a low water usage of 0.1 gallons per minute, effectively lifts the embedded chocolate stain from the mat's fibers directly into the microfiber towel without the need for chemicals or creating runoff.

Goal: The embedded chocolate stain is then effectively removed from the car mat using a high-temperature steam cleaner and a microfiber towel.

What they say

Hide

>> Mine too. And then what we do is we come in with our steamer. This is just a steam lance hooked up. It's safe out here. All the cleaning power is happening within the first couple inches. That's where you're getting the majority of your heat. So we specialize interior exterior. The benefit is that instead of using the classic cleaning method, we're using 0.1 gallons per minute. What you don't have to worry about is water falling on the floor. So when we're coming in here, this is it. That's your whole runoff. We're holding boiler temps around 360°, applying around 270. No chemicals, no fluff, no nothing. It's just absolutely annihilating it. What it's doing is it's lifting that up and it's throwing it into the rag. So, it's just over and over again.
