tips, tricks, questions for those with vapor steamers>

[Wetwerks]

We purchased a Vapor Master 3000 about one month ago. It has taken "clean" to a whole new level :excited: . For those that have been using one for sometime, any tips or advice on cleaning? I know that is pretty general, so let us in on things you have learned. One question I did have is, how many of you use the triangle brush on leather with or without a microfiber or terry covering it? We've been using the triangle with a microfiber and have to keep changing it out depending on how dirty the leather is. We thought about just sweeping over the leather, then following up with a micro in hand. It seems like this would cut down on time changing out the microfiber. Thoughts, suggestions? TIA

I just picked up a Daimer Kleenjet 300 and I was wondering the same thing.

I use the triangle brush all the time on coated leather w/o a towel and it does an awesome job.

I am careful to keep it moving as to not over heat any one area. I did a conversion van the other day that had tan seats that were literally black. Sprayed some dilluted lexol leather cleaner on them and gently and swiftly scrubbed with the triangle brush and all the black turned to tan again. Even the cracked areas came out great.
I took some pics, if they turned out I will post them here.

BTW, I wouldn't use a vapor cleaner on naked leather at all, too delicate.

great pics! Show what a VS can do. So you did the VS pass then follow up with a micro?

Just read it again and saw that you used dilluted Lexol. Might have to try that.

great pics! Show what a VS can do without chemicals.

I did use some Lexol Leather Cleaner dilluted 4 to 1. The vapor cleaner alone wouldn't have done the job.

So you did the VS pass then follow up with a micro?

I followed up with a terry towel. To me, terry towels are the way to go with the vapor steamer.
