Vinyl Removal Using a Dupray Steamer

The Best Solution for Vinyl Sticker Removal

Vinyl stickers, vinyl wraps, vinyl lettering, vinyl decals, and clear bras on cars, windows, walls or any other flat surface is usually very hard to remove without steam.  Professionals know that heat is the best method for removing vinyl graphics and decals.  The heat from a quality dry steam cleaner presents an effective, quick and easy way to remove vinyl with ease and without using any chemical products.  The operator of the steam cleaner is never exposed to harsh solvents; all you need is a cup of clean water!  

A commercial quality Dupray steam cleaner includes all the accessories needed for professionally removing vinyl decals and vinyl wraps.  Dupray provides top of the line steam cleaners that heat up to 378ºF. A quality steam cleaner is definitely the best and easiest way to remove vinyl graphics and to prepare the surface for new vinyl work.  Dupray offers the highest powered steam cleaners on the market on both 110V and 220V depending on your needs.   Quick heat up times and incredible power are essential to professional vinyl removal.  Steam works on vinyl by softening up the material, and disolving the adhesive so the operator can easily pull the vinyl off without breaking it or leaving any residue on the surface.  Usually, a short 5 second exposure to steam will be enough to soften the vinyl and facilitate quick and easy removal.  The process is very simple, all you have to do is use a plastic knife or a blade to lift one of the corners and then slowly pull the vinyl section while steaming the surface ahead of you.

Vinyl graphics are all different and each decal will react differently to steam.  Digitally-printed work will usually be more resistant than a thin vinyl, but not to worry the heat and low moisture from the steam cleaner will help easily strip the adhesives to leave a perfect surface.  If any residual adhesive is left on the surface, you can pass again with the steam cleaner and a cloth to restore the surface to new.

Vinyl removal professionals can choose between a few different Dupray steam cleaner models.  The Tosca steam cleaner will be the model of choice for the occasional vinyl removal.   Heavier work will require either the continuous refill Hill Super Inox or the Hill Injection steam cleaners because of their superior steam temperatures and higher pressure.   Serious vinyl professional will opt for the Steam Box, the most powerful 110v steam machine with detergent injection capability to help get rid of all adhesive residues even faster.
