It's been over twenty years now since steam cleaning machines were invented in Italy. Since that time, the popularity of steam cleaning has sky-rocketed all over the world, mainly because no other type of cleaning or cleaning machines seem to work as deeply and as thoroughly as steam cleaners do.
One type of machine, called a vapor steam cleaner, gives out hotter vapor at a much higher pressure which makes it the best on the market. While lower-priced cleaners don't have the power and temperatures that can generate very dry steam, the vapor cleaner is hot enough to dry the steam so that only about 5% of the water remains in it. Dryer steam means that whatever you clean won't end up wet and need to be dried for an extended period.
