    I recently looked at purchasing a steam cleaner, and decided the
    cost wasn't worth it to me. I am intrigued by your idea. What
    cleaning solution are you using? When I think "air powered blow gun"
    what comes to mind is the hand held power sprayer (like the coin-op
    car wash wand, only about 6" long). Is that what you are referring
    to? I suppose an air brush wouldn't have enough pressure to do any
    good, but what about the $10 sand-blaster from Harbour Freight
    (about the same size as an air-brush)?
