Steam cleaners - are they worth it

Hello all, we were wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experiences regarding steam cleaners. We usually undertake biohazard and heavy duty cleaning in residential properties.

Hi Ryhs
I have used steam cleaning in student EOT's and they work well on skiting, tiles, windows and doors.
With Trauma cleaning (although i haven't used them in this situation yet) they are great for softening brain tissue and dried baked on blood (careful of splashes)

Hi
I was using the Vax steamer (broke recently) had it for 2 years though. It cost £80 from Argos or maybe get a better deal on Ebay.

Ian
Thanks for the offer but although I have had this machine for over 5 years it really has had no use at all, it has the trolley with it and the slide out shelf (deep storage) unit and the attachments.
Without looking at the receipt, which I do have, (it would mean going back into closed files) I paid around £800.00 to £900.00.
I am not in a rush to sell but saw the post and offered it up. I believe it is easily worth £450.00!!
