Can You Use A Steam Cleaner On More Than Just Carpet?

When it comes to cleaning carpet, no other tool or method accomplishes the task quite like a steam cleaner. That’s why here at The Steam Team we’ve been using them for years to service our customers and help their carpets look better than ever before. But does a steam cleaner work just as effectively on other flooring options?

Ceramic Tile and Grout

Many people spend hours scrubbing tile and digging a toothbrush or other small brush into each grout line to get the perfect clean. With steam cleaning, you can achieve that same clean in a fraction of the time! The high pressure steam will easily remove all dirt and debris, and even rid the floor of any leftover chemicals from other cleaners, which may be harmful for children or pets. Just make sure to do a thorough sweep of the floor to remove larger pieces of dirt and debris before using the steam cleaner.

Hardwood Floors

When using a steam cleaner on hardwood floor, you’ll want to be a little more careful. If you’re purchasing or renting your own steam cleaner, make sure that its advertised to be used on hardwood, otherwise it may do damage to the floor. You’ll also want to make sure your floor is properly sealed. Of course, if you call The Steam Team to have your floors cleaned you won't have to worry about that, since our technicians will come prepared with the right equipment.

Marble Floors

Most steam cleaners are too high-temperature to be used on marble floors, as the steam will cause the marble to expand and contract, which may do damage to the stone. However, The Steam Team technicians use more than just steam cleaners to get the job done.


If you give us a call, we’ll be able to clean all the surfaces mentioned here, as well as anywhere else in your home or business that requires cleaning or restoration. For more information, visit The Steam Team website.
