Equipment for car dry cleaning

Today, the market for equipment for dry cleaning of a car is oversaturated with various goods, among which you can choose both professional equipment and household multifunctional appliances. The purchase of detergents and car cleaning devices is determined by the budget of the car enthusiast and his personal preferences.

There are several main methods of dry cleaning for a car interior:

• using a professional apparatus;
• dry cleaning of the interior with a steam generator;
• using a vacuum cleaner-extractor;
• manual method of dry cleaning the interior.

Let's consider in more detail the listed methods of cleaning the car. A smoke generator is usually used at a service station to diagnose the tightness of various automotive systems. Such equipment allows you to quickly detect malfunctions in the operation of mechanisms without dismantling them.

This type of professional dry-cleaner has another name - a vacuum cleaner-extractor.

The main functions of the cleaning tool include:

• suction of any contaminants into the dust collector;
• supply of a chemical solution for surface cleaning;
• support for the simultaneous supply of car chemicals and the reverse suction of water and dirt.

The advantage of using a vacuum cleaner is that there is no need to purchase additional equipment. It only requires brushes, chemicals and wipers to function. Certain attachments are suitable for cleaning different surfaces.

Before giving preference to a particular washing vacuum cleaner, it is necessary to pay attention to its power in kW, suction power, number of turbines, productivity and spray pressure of the chemical agent. The power of the device depends on the number of turbines. Such a vacuum cleaner can perform wet and dry cleaning.

This unit requires a compressor and universal chemicals for interior cleaning. The device must be filled with substances intended for this. The cleaning agents are inserted into the container provided for the refueling. The device consists of a pneumatic gun and a hose nozzle.

Tornadoes help to knock out deep dirt from the surfaces of a car due to the supply of a powerful stream of compressed air under high pressure. The accumulated dirt will remain on the rotating funnel, which must be washed after each area has been treated. The cleaning device got its name due to the "tornado effect", which means uniform distribution of the detergent over the surface and penetration into hard-to-reach places due to the spiral rotation.

For effective dry cleaning, a tornado will need a high power compressor. Models with a voltage of 380V and a large capacity for directing compressed air in the range of 100-200 liters are preferred. After cleaning the interior with such a professional technique, the materials will be almost dry.

A similar technique can easily cope with several tasks at once:

• cleaning surfaces under the influence of steam or a combination with the addition of auto chemicals to the steam;
• disinfection of the treated areas due to the high temperature regime of 165 C;
• removal of accumulated dust particles in the built-in tank.

In high-tech models, functionality is also provided in the form of interior ozonization, which means disinfection and elimination of odors from the car, and drying of the interior using a built-in auto-dryer. Steam generators allow you to clean almost every surface inside the car. This ensures a minimum level of humidity after cleaning the car.

To connect the device to the power supply network, a 220V or 380V socket must be available, which can be clarified in the characteristics of a particular model. In addition, you will need to purchase special auto chemicals for the care and cleaning of surfaces, as well as cleaning materials.

If the air in the passenger compartment has an unpleasant odor due to excess exhaust gases, accumulation of cigarette smoke, and is also saturated with harmful microorganisms due to the formation of mold and fungi, the driver should use ozonizers and ionizers. You can carry out ionization in a car wash, which will require additional payment, or you can independently purchase a compact air ionizer for personal use. Such a device operates from the cigarette lighter and enriches the air inside the car with useful ions.

Besides, the device contributes to the constant cleaning of the passenger compartment and the removal of unpleasant odors. The ionizer is especially useful for allergy sufferers, as the instrument removes allergens from the air. The functioning of ionizers and ozonizers is based on the generation of negative ions that purify the atmosphere by removing dust particles and eliminating bacteria. The working area of ​​the device should be periodically cleaned as plaque appears.

Manufacturers of auto dry cleaning products offer a variety of different techniques for cleaning the car interior. The most popular models are listed below.

• Tornador CYCLONE Z020 from the manufacturer CarTool. The productivity of the tool is 6000 rpm, the air supply is 100-270 l / min, the pressure reaches 6.3 bar. You need a compressor to work.

• TORNADO C-20 is a tornado from Taiwan. Wear-resistant model with a Japanese bearing that allows you to adjust the consumption of detergents. It operates in the 7.5 bar range and has an air flow of 130 l / min. It also requires a compressor to use the device. Compared to the first model, it is lighter.

• Steam generator KARCHER - the most famous equipment from a German manufacturer with a high quality guarantee. A sufficiently powerful and reliable device with a long service life. The set includes functional attachments. The model provides protection against scale formation and safety during operation due to a safety valve.

• EMILIO PLUS RA - a multifunctional device for cleaning any surface, including hard-to-reach corners. Equipped with several nozzles, disassembled design, has removable reservoirs and allows you to control the presence of water.

• Firm KARCHER also manufactures extractors with increased productivity and German quality. A specialized device allows you to effectively clean any material in the car interior. Water sprayed under pressure with a cleaning solution is distributed over the surface area, after which it is sucked back with deeply penetrated dirt.

• Vacuum cleaner TORNADO Soteco. The HEPA filter filters the air inside the car, as well as removes dust and dirt. The Italian device is compact in size.

• Belt compressor from REMEZA from Belarus creates a pressure of 10 bar, an air flow rate of 340 l / min and a receiver volume of 100 liters.

The driver can carry out dry cleaning of the cabin with his own hands, purchasing special detergent solutions and multifunctional devices for cars. It is also necessary to prepare the equipment required for washing, namely: rubber gloves, microfiber cloths, brushes, a vacuum cleaner and a container of water.

The tornador needs to be used skillfully in order not to further contaminate the cabin. When choosing, you need to rely on the type of rotating funnel and the pressure generated. Steam generators are expensive, but they are the best option for heat treatment of the passenger compartment. Before purchasing, you should clarify the temperature mode of operation and the size of the device.
