Understanding Carpet Cleaners And Where To Use Them

Here at The Steam Team in Austin, through our years of working with carpet cleaners to provide professional, top-notch cleaning services, we’ve learned a lot about these machines. We’ve written this blog for you to help you understand a little bit more about how steam cleaners work, and what surfaces they work best on.

The Benefits

There are many obvious benefits of cleaning your home with the best carpet cleaners, which are entirely water and heat based. Since no chemicals are used, you won’t have to worry about the negative effects that chemical cleaners can have on some surfaces like marble. You also won’t have to worry about the health risks that some store-bought chemical cleaners bring. Carpet cleaners kill 99.99% of bacteria, and dry up quickly since the water evaporates after sanitizing the surface. Steam cleaners are also excellent at cleaning more tough to reach spots and can even removed hardened substances like wax or glue.

Which Surfaces Can They Clean?

Carpet cleaning is wonderful for nearly every surface of the home, but for some you’ll need to use specific attachments to avoid damaging the material. Carpets, upholstery, mattresses and curtains can all be steam cleaned, but you’ll need to make sure you use the upholstery attachment. There’s also a floor attachment that you’ll need to use if you plan on steam cleaning your floors, tiles, ceramic and metal fixtures. With the right attachments, steam cleaning can easily kill germs, mold and fungus on any surface. The only surfaces that can’t be steam cleaned under any circumstances are cardboard, paper products, delicate fabrics or anything with water-based paint.

It Also Affects the Look of Your Backyard

A new patio does wonders to an old backyard. You’ll be so surprised at the results! And hey- maybe it’ll even inspire you to change up your landscaping, or build a matching shed!
