Keeping your home clean is a never ending job. It can be messy using a mop and vacuum cleaners can only go so far in getting rid of dirt and stains. Steam cleaners excel at cleaning a home and have become more popular as well as more affordable.
What Exactly is a Steam Cleaner?
Simply put a steam cleaner delivers a high pressure stream of steam which aids in loosening deeply embedded dirt as well as stains. The can be used on tile, carpets, drapes, furniture and more. The high temperature and high pressure allows for cleaning that more traditional techniques just can not achieve.
On Carpets
Although vacuum cleaners are adequate for daily or weekly carpet cleanings it is only capable of cleaning the top carpet layer. Meanwhile, dirt and grime works it's way deeper into the carpet making it more difficult to remove. Steam cleaners can reach this deeper dirt and return your carpets to like new.
On Tile
Steam cleaners are a great choice for removing stubborn grim built up on tiles. Normally chemical cleaners are needed to do the job. These cleaners can be potentially harmful to people and pets alike. Steam cleaning eliminates the need for these harmful chemicals in your home while still getting the job done efficiently.
On Your Health
In addition to not needing all of the chemicals to clean your home, the high temperature and pressure of a steam cleaner is a natural sanitizer. The process can kill parasites, molds and fungi, bacteria as well as viruses. This provides a cleaner healthier home for your whole family.
Other Uses
While home uses are enough reason to purchase a steam cleaner portable units can also be used to clean your car and boat. And don't forget the BBQ, the toilet, vegetable bins in the fridge and many other uses you have not thought of yet.
What to look for in a steam cleaner
As with most things, price is the first thing most people look at. Being a middle of the price range type of person, I usually never buy the cheapest or the most expensive models. My experience has been the cheapest will not perform as expected or needed and the most expensive usually includes a lot of hype or features I did not really need. That being said, here are the things you should look at when comparing different models:
Temperature of steam - Look anything over 295 degrees
Pressure - 65psi is ideal
Water tank size and duration of use-
Size of the boiler - Stainless steel is more durable than aluminum but more costly up front.
As you can see, a steam cleaner is a great cleaning tool to have in your home. Whether you are looking to clean your carpets or just spot clean stains there are a variety of models to choose from.
