Re: Steam cleaners?
The model I show above is $2,200.00
Dupray Hill Injection Steam Cleaner
But if you want the ability to add water water on the go... that is the continuous fill feature, then the entry level Dupray model that offers continuous fill and comes with all the same attachments is this one,
Dupray ONE Plus Steam Cleaner

Can you use tap water or must you use distilled water?
The brush attachment, how do you secure a clean towel?
Mike I have yet to empty the tank on an interior. Once you do run out of water you can open up the lid add the water and let it heat up.
You can use tap water, however if you do you should use a little bit if CLR to clean the tank once a month and rinse it out. A person should NEVER run anything but water through the system.
It's always best to use Distilled water when using a steamer.
It comes with a large selection of brush attachments but the large triangle brush attachment has two clamps so that one can do the "Diaper Wrap with a towel to clean.
I'll post a photo once I get one.

Re: Steam cleaners?
Really depends on your money and how many times you are going to use it. I went with a cheap mcculloch that works great for the weekends and cleaning my own car once or twice a month. If I did this as a business or weekly I would go with something like the vx5000 because of the reputation, warranty and parts used.

Agreed, I have heard a lot of good things about the McCulloch. For the amount of work I'm doing right now with steam this would probably be my best bet. If I see that I'm gonna be using it more regularly I will probably need to think about saving the money to get the VX5000. Thanks for the input.
I'd really like to have one like most professionals have. I'm sure they will be more time saving and hold up a lot better over time, but my wallet doesn't agree with that right now.
