Here on the Steam Team blog, we recently talked about the best method for cleaning tile and grout flooring; steam cleaners! But you may be wondering what else steam cleaners can be used for. Can they clean just about any surface in your home? Do they have their limits? Is it better to buy a steam cleaner yourself or to pay for a professional steam cleaning and restoration service? Let’s talk about it.
Clean and Safe Method
Steam cleaning, first of all, is far better for your health and your home than most other cleaning methods, because it only uses water and heat. No chemicals necessary! 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 steam cleaners. Steam cleaners are also excellent at cleaning those tough to reach spots and removing hardened substances like wax or glue.
Best Surfaces To Steam Clean
Steam 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 steam 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.
