Ladybug Tekno 2350 Vapor Steam Cleaners
The
Ladybug Tekno steam cleaner is an industrial strength, commercial steam cleaner that is great for all
kinds of tough cleaning jobs. This is the steam cleaner you need to buy if you are running your own cleaning
business. The large cold water reservoir and the optional trolley system means that this Ladybug can
tackle bigger cleaning applications with ease. The Ladybug Tekno comes standard with the TANCS disinfectant technology which
means greater sanitizing power and a more sterile kind of clean.
As a continuous fill unit, the Ladybug 2350 provides constant steam and can be refilled at any point without losing steam
or having to wait for the unit to heat back up. And the larger capacity water tank and boiler means you have longer run
times between fill ups. Both of these means more clean with fewer interruptions.
The TANCS system uses naturally occurring minerals found in water and converts them to crystals that penetrate and
work to destroy the cell wall of germs on a microscopic level. This in turn leaves them more susceptible to the lethal
effects of steam. The TANCS disinfecting system is the closest thing you can get to a truly sterile clean in a residential setting.
And best of all, TANCS uses only water and heat instead of harsh chemicals.
*With the TANCS option, the system qualifies as a disinfection device for the US EPA. Additionally, the TANCS option extends
the life of the entire system.

Thermo Accelerated Nano Crystal Sanitation, or TANCS,
is a patented technology found in some Ladybug steam cleaners. TANCS is the process that uses naturally occurring minerals found in tap water
to form crystals that when heated, disrupts the cell membranes of microorganisms. Once the cell membranes have been disrupted, the
over 230° F heat can quickly and effectively destroy germs quickly and without harmful germicides or toxic chemicals. While
only found in Ladybug steam cleaners, this type of technology has been in use in commercial setting for years. TANCS is EPA approved as
a disinfectant and lab certified. Below are some of the benefits of this technology versus traditional chemical cleaners.
- Steam vapor reaches into microscopic pores where topical chemical applications and scrubbing would never reach.
- Simplification of cleaning protocols--no disinfectant mixing, storage, disposal concerns, lengthy dwell time
requirements, or confusing label directions.
- TANCS can eliminate and control biofilms that resist typical disinfectants and bleach cleaners.
- Reduced chemical exposure risks - you're using only tap water and heat!
- This system won't oxidize metals or degrade grout or concrete like traditional cleaners.
- Destruction of embedded bacteria and germs that cause lingering odor with traditional cleaning methods.
- Minerals are utilized by TANCS instead of building up on internal components.
- Add TANCS to your dry steam vapor system and add five years to your boiler warranty! TANCS means no scaling of your system
and helps to maintain the heating efficiency within the boiler while extending the life of the system.

 Ladybug Tekno 2350 Steam Cleaners
The Ladybug Tekno steam cleaner is an industrial stength, commercial steam cleaner that is great for all
kinds of tough cleaning jobs. This is the steam cleaner you need to buy if you are running your own cleaning
business. The large cold water reservoir and the optional trolley system means that this Ladybug can
tackle bigger cleaning applications. The Ladybug Tekno comes standard with the TANCS bolier technology.
What I like about the Ladybug 2350
The two qualities that separate the Tekno from the other Ladybug units are the LCD digital display for pressure and temperature,
and the larger cool water reservoir. The digital display lets you quickly monitor your Ladybug's performance. With the pressure gauge, you
know when the unit is at the optimal pressure to produce the best steam, and a temperature indication allows you to better
monitor your cleaning performance while you work. The larger water
reservoir allows you to clean for longer periods of time without adding more water. This is important for someone with a serious
cleaning regimen or for commercial steam cleaning applications.
We were able to secure a Ladybug model for our
showroom and we tested the unit out on some office
cubicles that we purchased for our growing marketing and
sales department. The Ladybug Tekno was more than up to
the challenge of steam cleaning the fabric of roughly ten office cubicles and another half a dozen, gently used,
filing cabinents. We completed the entire cleaning job on one water tank.
This may seem like a small point, but the inclusion of filler pads is an excellent addition. I've used a Ladybug
steam cleaner with and without the pads, and the biggest difference is that with the pads, more of the surface of your cleaning cloth
actually touches the floor, walls, whatever you are cleaning. For floors this is especially beneficial in that with a larger
surface area touching the floor, you can pick up more debris and soil that you loosen while steam cleaning. Without the filler
pad, you'll find that dirt and debris mainly accumulates where the bristles touch the cloth.
Other good features of this unit are the continuous fill option and the steam flow adjustment. You do not
have to shut this unit off to refill the water. Also, you can adjust the steam flow from light to heavy depending on what you
are cleaning. You really have control of the steam at your fingertips. This unit also features a double valve system. While
most Ladybug steam cleaners won't allow you to essentially empty the boiler in one shot, with the Tekno 2350 you can. So if the
occasion arising where you need a heavy, concentrated blast of steam, you have that capability with this model.
Because this steam cleaning system produces high temperature "dry" steam vapor that carries only about 6% water, very little
water is left behind. Surfaces are cool to the touch almost immediately and dry within minutes. Ladybug steam cleaners rely on heat
instead of high pressure which means a more thorough cleaning with less mess.
What I do not like about the Ladybug 2350
One thing I do not like about this model is that there is no on-board tool storage. For commercial cleaning, you really need
to buy the optional trolley cart. Probably, the other thing that I do not like about this product is the price. However, with
a Ladybug, you really get what you pay for and you will end up getting your money back out of the
unit by extending the life of furniture, rugs, and other parts of your home as well as avoiding the cost of having to replace
a steam cleaner of lesser quality, every couple years. For those serious about steam cleaning, the intial cost is well worth it.
Overall, the Ladybug Tekno 2350 steam cleaner is perfect for someone with
a serious cleaning regimen, a larger home, or for
someone that works as a cleaning professional. This will
make any cleaning job go much faster. With the standard TANCS option and the trolley,
this Ladybug model definitely ranks as a 5 out of 5 stars.
