Yes, steam cleaning is wet.
Steam cleaning uses hot, pressurized steam to loosen dirt and grime. The steam itself is water vapor, which condenses into water droplets upon contact with a surface. This water, combined with the cleaning solution, creates a wet environment that helps to lift and remove dirt.
Here's how steam cleaning works:
- Steam generation: A steam cleaner heats water to boiling point, creating steam.
- Steam delivery: The steam is then delivered through a hose and nozzle to the surface being cleaned.
- Cleaning action: The hot steam loosens dirt and grime, and the water droplets help to lift and remove it.
- Drying: The steam evaporates quickly, leaving the surface relatively dry.
Although steam cleaning leaves a surface relatively dry compared to traditional wet cleaning methods, it still involves water. Therefore, it is considered a wet cleaning method.
