Steam Cleaning For Motorcycle Maintenance – Good Or Bad?

Last updated on 07-Sep-2024 , By Badhon Roy

Motorcycles have become an essential part of our lifestyle these days. It is used not only as a hobby but also for daily needs. Bikers are now much aware of taking care of their motorcycles and washing motorcycles is an important part of maintenance.

However, even though we regularly use pressure washing, foam washing, or polishing, some sensitive and very narrow area of the bike can't be thoroughly cleaned through regular washing. 

This can lead to problems like rusting or paint fading which don’t look attractive and surely raise concerns about the bike's durability. To prevent these issues, BD Moto Shop has introduced steam cleaning which has already gained attention among Bangladeshi bikers. Therefore, here we will discuss an overview of BD Moto Shop's steam cleaning services.

 

What is Steam Cleaning and How Does It Work?

As like the name, steam cleaning involves the use of steam. Various detergents or chemicals are converted into steam using high pressure and applied to the narrow areas of the bike through special nozzles. This process can clean dirt, tar, grease, and even rust.

At the very beginning of the process, the bike is thoroughly foam washed, and the chain is cleaned. After the bike is dried, necessary chemicals are applied, and a second round of cleaning is done. Next, using a steaming machine, anti-rust cleaning will perform on each part and the narrow corners of the bike. Finally, the bike is washed, polished, and the chain is lubricated and hand over it back to the owner.

Benefits of Steam Cleaning

Steam cleaning ensures that every corner of the bike is thoroughly cleaned and it also prevents rust. It helps to reduce chain noise, increase chain longevity and decrease the degeneration of the disc plate and brake pads. In total, the whole process ensures a better riding experience.

Are There Any Risks with Steam Cleaning

According to Mr. Alvi, the owner of BD Moto Shop, the chemicals and procedures used in steam cleaning are 100% risk-free and have no side effects. The high-quality chemicals and equipment are made for working or reacting only on rusted areas or parts where the paint is permanently damaged. 

These chemicals do not react with any other parts of the bike or its main paint. There is a misconception that steam cleaning causes short circuits or water damage to the wiring, but this is completely wrong. 

Since the chemicals are converted into steam under high pressure, they spread with the air quickly after cleaning the dirt and don’t react with the wiring or electric components. Additionally, this technology prevents rust-related damage to the bike's exhaust pipe.

Cost of Motorcycle Steam Cleaning

People think that using advanced, international-standard technology like steam cleaning would come with a high service charge. But amazingly BD Moto Shop has made it affordable by keeping the charges within reach for ordinary bikers. 

The cost for steam cleaning a commuter or naked bike is only 1,050 BDT.

For a sports or faired bike, it is 1,250 BDT. 

For the best result it is recommended to be steam cleaning done in every six months. Considering the long-term durability of the bike the service charge is very reasonable. BD Moto Shop also offers ceramic coating, all types of painting, and hydro-dipping services alongside steam cleaning,
