In the past, the term "dry" was used to clarify the characteristics of a powerful steam cleaner. Nowadays, the term can potentially lead customers to expect unrealistic results.

Let us use the term "vapor" in place of "dry". A high temperature "Vapor" steam cleaner typically has approximately 5-6% moisture content in the steam in comparison to the lower priced steam cleaners on the market that have boiler temps at 250° - 290°

A good example is boiling water in a teapot. If you hold your hand over the pot, immediately you are saturated and probably

burning yourself if you were to continue this at 6 inches away and the temperature is 212°.

The steam emitted from a Vapor Clean steam cleaner is noticeably cooler when felt by hands, as it is superheated,

drier, and the moisture content is much lower.

It could be said that a more accurate description for steam cleaners is "drier". Boiling water has the highest level of moisture, and as the temperature increases, the steam becomes correspondingly dryer, ultimately reaching a gaseous state, which is correctly referred to as "dry".

All Vapor Clean machines are "dry" or "vapor" steam cleaners as all the machines range in and above the 5-6% moisture level that constitues a low moisture steam cleaner.
