Steam cleaner frequently asked questions

What is a steam cleaner and how does it work?

A steam cleaner is a versatile cleaning tool that uses heated water to sanitize and clean surfaces. It uses water heated by an internal boiler to a high temperature, typically between 100°C and 150°C. This pressurised steam targets dirt, grime, bacteria, and allergens on surfaces like tile, grout, carpets, upholstery, and kitchen appliances. Steam cleaners are environmentally friendly, efficient, and effective, killing up to 99.9% of germs and dust mites. They are ideal for allergy sufferers and those seeking a safe chemical-free cleaning solution.

What can I clean with a steam cleaner?

Steam cleaners are versatile cleaning tools that can be used on various surfaces in both homes and businesses. They effectively remove dirt, mold, and mildew from tile and grout, sealing hardwood floors, and removing stains and dust mites from carpets and rugs. They also sanitize and deodorize upholstery, making the air inside the home cleaner. Steam cleaners can clean greasy stovetops, ovens, sinks, faucets, and small appliances in the kitchen without harsh chemicals. They can also clean porcelain fixtures, shower stalls, tile, and sealed grout in bathrooms. Steam cleaners are chemical-free and environmentally friendly, but it's essential to read the instructions and manufacturer recommendations to ensure their safety and effectiveness on delicate surfaces.

Do steam cleaners use soap or chemicals?

Steam cleaners use high-temperature steam to dissolve dirt, grease, and germs, primarily using water to clean and sanitize surfaces. They heat tap or distilled water in the boiler, producing pressurised steam that enters surface pores and effectively removes dirt. Chemicals or detergents are not necessary for most cleaning jobs and can cause damage. Some speciality steam cleaners allow the use of mild detergents or cleaning solutions for tough soils. To avoid damaging the machine or surfaces, use only recommended detergents and follow manufacturer instructions. Steam cleaners are environmentally friendly and suitable for allergy sufferers.
