SIMPLIFY YOUR BUSINESS
Are you a mobile wash operator? Then you probably carry a pressure washer, 100-gal water tank, wash mat, water reclamation system and waste water tank, air compressor, 2000+ watt generator, racks of chemical bottles, piles of rags, and more.
Using the Optima Steamer will downsize your overhead BIG time. The Optima cleans without chemicals and uses a fraction of water, generating zero waste water runoff. This means no need to fill up an oversized water tank every morning (or ask your customers if you can use their hose), no prep work to contain water and no clean-up, eliminating the need for a mat, waste water tank or reclamation system—that or having to worry about getting citations for not carrying those things.
The combined power of heat, steam vapor, and pressure loosens dirt and contaminants, creates a lubricant layer from instant condensation, and breaks up grease and grime. This will reduce your chemical consumption by up to 90% not to mention that it will speed up your cleaning process. If you bring an air compressor for nooks and crannies, you won’t need that either because the steamer does the same job better.
With the powerful, high volume output of the Optima Steamer, you’ll eliminate the need for much of your equipment the chemicals that you would normally rely on, the water tanks, and more—all while speeding up your cleaning process and helping turn around jobs quicker.

Conserve Water
For mobile wash operators, the Optima Steamer™ can reduce water consumption by 95%, cleaning a car using as little as one gallon of water. Not only will steam reduce your water consumption and water bill, it will also reduce the equipment and space necessary to contain water. Weight reduction will greatly reduce vehicle fuel consumption. Compared to traditional pressure washer operators who carry over 250 gallons of water (over 2,085lbs) and a recovery tank, Optima Steamer™ users will need no more than 20 gallons of water for all day use with no recovery tank!
Reduce Chemical Use
Steam allows a mobile wash operators to drastically reduce their chemical consumption. In fact, steam eliminates your need for window cleaning chemicals, soaps, detergent and other abrasive and harmful compounds. With a moisture control feature, the Optima Steamer™ achieves wet or dry steam. Heat of the steam will break down dirt and grime easily and sanitize any surface without chemical, and gentle yet powerful steam pressure will lift them up from vehicles’ surface. The temperature of steam can be easily controlled by the distance you hold it from the surface, ensuring no damage to surface, especially paint and clear coats!
Eliminate Waste Water Runoff
Untreated waste water disposal to ground soil and storm drains impacts the environment. The equipment required for containing wastewater and the cost to maintain it decreases productivity and profit. Using the Optima Steamer™, a mobile wash operator can wash and clean without producing wastewater.

★★★★★ TESTIMONIALS ★★★★★
“The Optima is an integral part of our business model that is based on convenience and eco-friendly vehicle cleaning. The Optima provides optimum eco-friendly cleaning: no chemicals, only soft water steam to disinfect and clean interiors to a high degree by powering dirt and grim away not only from easy to reach surfaces but especially from hard to reach areas like between seats and consoles in a time saving efficient manner. This equates to profits. The Optima also provides cleaning of child seats to a degree not obtainable with traditional cleaning methods of high moisture hot water extraction, soaps and/or chemicals. This allows Green Steam Mobile Auto SPA to successfully penetrate the young professional vehicle owner/user market and parents with young children vehicle owner/user markets both of which are substantial in size in Madison, Wisconsin and surrounding area.”
~ Cal H. Stanisch, Green Steam Mobile Auto SPA
“As a company that used pressure washing equipment for many years, converting to the optima steamer has not only changed our cleaning method in a positive, eco-friendly way, it has opened the door for more commercial clients because of the eco-friendly aspect. We can now offer our washing services to clients we couldn’t to in the past. Best decision I’ve made since 2005!”
~ Justin Holcomb, Eco Steam Car Wash & Detailing
“I started with a regular power washer, but realized it did not do the job I wanted to do, and did not help in providing the eco-friendly GREEN services I wanted to provide in the world we live in today. So I returned it and got myself a DMF Optima Steamer, and this machine went above and beyond my expectations. I have no need to connect to my customers water source, which means I can perform my services virtually anywhere. The variety of attachments available for this particular machine have also made it possible for me to be able to apply this product to many other applications other than just washing and detailing vehicles. This machine has opened many doors of financial opportunity for me. If anyone reading this is thinking or in the process of taking the next step towards success, I highly recommend the products from Steamericas.”
