How to Steam Clean Your Car Engine

If you’ve ever had to clean your car’s engine, you know it’s a daunting task. But with a little preparation and some steam, the job becomes much easier. Read on for tips on how to steam clean your car engine!

The first step is to gather all of the materials you’ll need. You’ll need a pot large enough to fit your car’s engine, some water, a towel, and some soap.

Next, fill the pot with water and put it on the stove. Preheat the water to steaming hot before adding soap. Let the soap dissolve in the water before adding your car engine.

Turn up the heat on the stove and wait until the liquid reaches a boiling point. Then turn off the heat and let the engine sit in the hot water for a few minutes.

After a few minutes, use a towel to remove the engine from the pot. Be careful not to burn yourself! Place it on some newspapers to dry off completely before starting your cleaning session.

Steam cleaning is a great way to get rid of oil, brake dust, and other built-up debris on your car’s engine.
