You may have read something online about carpet cleaners, or heard something from a friend or family member about how carpet cleaners are a more natural cleaning alternative to chemical cleaning products. But how far do the benefits of steam cleaning really go? Can you use a carpet cleaner on just any surface? If you’re wondering these things yourself, here’s some professional advice from The Steam Team.

Benefits

Because carpet cleaning only uses water and heat, you don’t have to worry about any of the risks that chemical cleaners might bring. Nearly all household surfaces are properly sanitized with steam cleaners, more than just the percentage of clean that most chemical cleaners offer. Because the steam evaporates, surfaces will dry faster when cleaned with carpet cleaners. Carpet cleaners are also excellent at cleaning those tough to reach spots and removing hardened substances like wax or glue.

Where To Use Steam Cleaners

Carpet cleaning works wonders on nearly every surface of a home, but for some materials you may need to pay attention and think of the effect that water and heat may have. For example, steam cleaning is great for carpets, upholstery, mattresses, and even curtains, but for all of these surfaces you need to make sure you’re using an upholstery attachment. 

For floors, tiles, ceramic and metal fixtures carpet cleaning works great to kill germs, mold, and fungus, so long as a floor attachment is used. With a window attachment, you can easily clean glass and windows. Even kitchen appliances can be cleaned with handheld steam cleaners. 

The only materials that can’t be steam cleaned are paper and cardboard products, delicate fabrics and anything covered in water-based paint.
