Sanitizing Floors with Vapor Steam Cleaning vs. Mopping with Hazardous Chemicals

Vapor steam cleaning has swept the nation by storm because, compared to traditional mopping, it's quicker, easier, more cost-effective, safer for people, and safer for the environment. Toss out that tattered mop, along with that old mop bucket and those hazardous cleaning chemicals. The Reliable T1 Steamboy Floor Mop has arrived!

How Vapor Steam Cleaning Works

Just add a bit of water to the tank. Much like a cappuccino machine, a vapor steam cleaner heats water inside a boiling chamber. The boiling water produces steam, and since the steam is under pressure in the chamber, its temperature climbs higher than the boiling point. This process produces extremely hot, dry steam with very little moisture content, which means that floors dry almost instantly. The hot steam also kills germs and allergens, sanitizing the floor.

Note: A vapor steam cleaner greatly differs from a hot water extractor, which is sometimes incorrectly referred to as a carpet "steam cleaner." Hot water extractors actually leave carpets wet for long periods of time and may lead to problems with mold and dust mites.

The Benefits of Vapor Steam Cleaning

• The steam's low moisture and high temperature penetrates deeper into cracks and crevices, cleaning more effectively than traditional mopping.
• The high temperature of the steam sanitizes the floor, killing dust mites, mold, and germs - all without hazardous chemicals.
• Save money by not having to buy cleaning chemicals and disinfectants - and improve your health by avoiding exposure to them.
• Vapor steam cleaning doesn't leave behind chemical residues.
• No need for buckets full of dirty water. And, as another bonus, vapor steam cleaning uses much less water than traditional mopping.
• No need for "Caution: Wet Floor" signs. The vapor dries almost immediately.
• No strenuous scrubbing required. Just let the steam do all the work!
