Top seven reasons to steam clean

1. Chemical-Free Cleaning
Reliable Steam CleanersSince water and heat are the only elements required for steam cleaning, cleaning and sanitizing your home has never been easier and more environmentally friendly. After all, does it really make sense to prepare food on your countertop that you’ve cleaned with chemicals? Not only do steam cleaners help to eliminate chemical residue in your home, making it a safer place (especially for children and pets who practically live on the floor), but they also help the environment by reducing the amount of chemicals that get washed down the drain and recycled back into our water supply.

2. A Whole New Level of Clean
While you’ll still need to put in the effort while cleaning, the results after using a steam cleaner surpass the conventional method of cleaning with a chemical solvent and sponge or mop. Since steam deodorizes and sanitizes with heat and moisture, debris is removed thoroughly and quickly, leaving a chemical-free clean that makes cleaning an easier job for you. From bathrooms to basements, for large surface areas like tile floors and countertops, carpeting, upholstery and even barbecue grills, there are attachments for cleaning every area of your house. You’ll end up cleaning things you’ve avoided for ages.

3. Spend Less Money on Cleaning Supplies
Spend Less Money on Cleaning SuppliesYou will never have to decide on lemon or pine scent again! You’ll never need floor polisher, glass sparkler, oven cleaner, tile blaster, or the bald guy in the white t-shirt hanging around again (for those who didn’t get that reference—Mr. Clean). You won’t even need those sweaty rubber gloves to protect your hands from solvents. Owning a steam cleaner means you have one exceptional cleaning and sanitizing tool to tackle a variety of cleaning needs around your home. What will you do with all the extra money? What will you do with all that extra space?

4. Hunt Down & Eliminate the Trickiest, Nastiest Culprits
Kill Viruses and Mold with Steam CleanersBacteria, viruses, and mold may not be detectable, but they are potentially some of the most hazardous pathogens in your home that can result in irritations, allergies, and infections. When you use a steam cleaner, the tiny hot vapor molecules penetrate the pores of the surface you’re cleaning, and as they come in contact with the cool surface of the pores, they expand and force all dirt, debris, and bacteria to the surface. Vapor molecules are so hot that they are not only able to extract pathogens like E. Coli and Salmonella from surface pores, but also kill them. Good-bye infectious enemies!

5. Kill & Control Allergens like Dust Mites
The sun pours in, and there are little “things” floating in the stream of light. Many of these airborne particles are some of the most prolific allergy triggers in your home—they are the waste matter of dust mites. Dust mites are second only to pollen in the top causes of allergic reactions. The benefits of steam cleaning are regularly removing these microscopic, sneeze-inducing pests for good. Some allergic reactions translate into asthma (which is on the rise among children), but studies show that avoiding allergens in early childhood can prevent the onset of asthma. Using a steam cleaner is a great way to keep everyone in your home healthier by eliminating these allergens from your mattresses, pillows and upholstered furniture.

6. Kids & Toys
Steam Cleaning for Kids' ToysSteam cleaners can help transform a germ-ridden, odorous nursery into a sparkling clean, chemical-free baby sanctuary. Toys, especially those that children share while playing, are notorious germ traps that are more than efficient at attracting a host of bodily fluids. A steam cleaner will kill any lingering guests that may be lingering after a play date filled with sneezes and runny noses.

7. A Pet Lover’s New Best Friend
Use a Steam Cleaner to Kill FleasJust because you have a pet, your house doesn’t have to smell like one. A steam cleaner will eliminate stinky odors from your dog, sanitize bird cages and aquariums, and spruce up the litter box area so you don’t need to hold your breath as you walk past. The high-temperature heat kills fleas, their eggs, and their larva—a steam cleaner will safely eradicate these tenacious pests without the use of harsh, toxic chemicals.
