Steam/Vac Attachment similar to Tornador Blastor

[bunkeroo26]

Hello Autopia!


`


As always, thanks for the intelligent conversation, the quick replies,


and the outstanding helpfulness!`


`


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`


I am looking for an alternative similar to the Tornador Blastor attachment.





`


I like the idea of using an air compressor and a vacuum at the same time to dislodge and


vacuum out all of the products.` This seems like one that will greatly save some time.


HOWEVER, I don`t use an air compressor.


`


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`


What I am curious about, is taking this to the next level.


`


I am envisioning using the same spray and suck dual use but with a steamer!


`


Would this combination not rival a hot water extractor?


I imagine that if you clean the carpet with Woolite, then steam and suck at the


same time, that you will achieve a high quality clean.`


`


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`


Do you know of any attachments that would make steam/vac feasible?


`


Do I need to create my own attachment?


`


Would steam/vac together even work?


`


Would this be a safe method to use for upholstery as well as headliners


(as long as psi and temperature are regulated)


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`


I understand that I can go through and steam, then vacuum in two different steps.


I am looking to clean more efficiently, to make more money per hour.


`


This tornador has me realizing that doing both at the same time will dislodge and vac


better than doing both seperately.` I also would think that sucking during steam would not


allow the dirt to be pushed deeper into the pile of the carpet.


`


I might end up altering a vacuum wand to accept a steam nozzle in the middle,


but I would much rather have a ready-made product.


`


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`


I believe that a steamer would have more uses for detailing than a compressor,


as my vacuum can already be reversed to blow if needed.` I also do not see


myself lugging around an air compressor just to purchase the tornador.


`


Does anyone have any alternative suggestions, reasons why this may work,


or reasons that this may fail?


`


`


Thanks as always!
