[Spridgets] Steam cleaning

[Michael Rowe]

It is simple to run garden hoses from the nearest sink to supply a power washer with hot but not steamy water.  The fitting required is available in any hardware store.  Would the improvement over cold water be enough to justify the hassle?  Is the $80-$100 expense of a small power washer worth the improvement over cold water from a garden nozzle?  Just how hard is it to get a greasy surface clean enough to paint?  Never tried it.
