 Steam
Cleaners are a simple yet highly effective way to clean and sanitize throughout the home. By using only water and heat, steam cleaners are a
healthier way to clean without the worry of noxious fumes or residue left by common chemicals cleaners. Without the need for
a variety of cleaners, steam cleaning is a universal solution to deep cleaning and eliminating allergens and microorganisms. Multi-purpose and durable, a
quality steam cleaner can help you save time and money, while making your work or home healthier for the entire family.
Basically, all steam cleaners work on the same principles developed decades ago in Italy. Simple tap water is heated in
an internal boiler to temperatures that generally range from 200 to 300 F. This steam vapor is pressured to help keep the actual moisture
content of the steam low. The steam is then pushed out of the
steam cleaner or
steam mop directly onto the surface you are cleaning. Special
attachments are used for different applications and bonnets or towels (terry cloths or microfiber) are used in conjunction with the
tool to help trap the steam, concentrating the heat, as well as capture debris or particles loosened by the heat and steam.
Steam cleaners are particularly helpful for allergy, asthma, and MCS sufferers for several reasons. First, steam cleaners use no
chemicals. So unlike ammonia or bleach based cleaners, there are no harmful or poisonous residues left after cleaning. The lack of
chemicals also improves your indoor air quality by keeping those fumes out of the air you breath.
Second, steam cleaners kill many common
allergens. Not only does the high temperature steam kill a wide variety of molds and bacteria, but things like bed bugs, fleas, and
dust mites are killed on contact. Regularly steaming your mattress or upholstered furniture is an easy way to quickly kill dust
mites. Adding to this, vapor steam cleaners can kill viruses, and some are capable of destroying things like MRSA, the common flu virus,
as well as, bacteria like listeria, E. coli, and salmonella.
Lastly, even chemicals left behind from previous cleanings can be removed
by using a steam cleaner. Overall, high temperature steam vapor cleans deeper, by penetrating the pores of even hard surfaces, and sanitizes
better than chemical cleaners. High temperature steam is deadly to microorganisms while the heat loosens and pulls soil and debris from
microscopic pores and cracks to give you a more thorough, healthier clean.
