Steam Cleaning <strong>Tire</strong>s<br />
TECHNICAL BULLETIN<br />
Ref. No. T8701GD<br />
CAUTION: Steam cleaning can damage a tire <strong>and</strong> render it unserviceable.<br />
At many businesses throughout the United States, it is common practice to use “steam cleaning equipment” to<br />
wash trucks <strong>and</strong> tires.<br />
Nozzle temperature on steam cleaning equipment typically reaches 280°F.<br />
When a steam cleaning nozzle is held too close to the sidewall of a tire for as short a time as 45 seconds, a<br />
small spongy blister may appear on the sidewall. When this blister is cut open, one will observe reverted<br />
rubber resulting from the excessive localized heat.<br />
Steam cleaning of tires can be harmful to tires when the nozzle is concentrated in one spot for a period of time.<br />
