The MondoVap will give 1 hour and 15 minutes of uninterrupted operation. When the water runs out, the reservoir is filled and operation continues without waiting for the pressure to build up.

There are many types of attachments, including a grout cleaner and a wall cleaner that will clean a 10-foot high wall without using a ladder. There is also a window cleaning attachment that cleans with steam instead of ammonia. A stainless steel attachment will clean years of carbon build-up in an over in just 2 minutes.

Add about 20% of time to regular cleaning rates to account for the sanitation process. Remind your clients of this benefit. The machine will eliminate odors and the need for battery-operated deodorizers in restrooms. The TANCS option will kill mold and mildew spores.

There is also an upholstery attachment for cleaning furniture and office partitions without overwetting like extraction does. The machine uses regular 110/115 voltage and there are 2 pressure settings--30 psi and 66 psi.

There are two versions of the machine--the red MondoVap for $2995 and the white VaporJet for $2495. Internally, both machines are the same, but the VaporJet control is on the machine body instead of the handle and it comes with fewer attachments. The TANCS option is $300 more, but extends the boiler warranty from one year to eight years.
