The Benefits of Steam Cleaning Versus Other Methods

If you have carpet in your home, it’s likely that you’ve heard the news that more and more people are choosing steam cleaning as the prefered method for keeping their carpets in great condition. But why? Does steam cleaning really make such a drastic difference? Well, yes! And here are just a few reasons why;

Safer for the Home

When using a steam cleaner, the only forces at work are water and heat. This means that you’re able to avoid using cleaning agents that could have potentially harmful or toxic chemicals in them, while still killing 99.99% of bacteria. Essentially, you’re able to get the job done right without harming any children, pets, or causing any allergic reactions that you might get from other methods.

A Cheaper Alternative

A steam cleaner is not only safer for the home, but easier on the wallet as well. The repeated costs of having to restock on detergents or other cleaning products far outweigh the cost of the steam cleaner itself. And the only payments you’ll need to make for the steam cleaner are water and electricity.

Why Not Just Vacuum?

Unfortunately, many people rely on vacuuming alone to clean their carpets. What they don’t realize is that a vacuum cleaner can only collect a small fraction of the dirt, dust, and other allergens left behind in the carpet. Another issue with vacuum cleaners is that they won’t be able to get rid of dust mites, which may be living in your carpet and eating the residue left behind that a vacuum cleaner just can’t reach. The only method for a complete clean is high pressure steam!

Professional Steam Cleaning

While such methods can be carried out by the homeowner, most people find that a trained professional with more powerful equipment can achieve even greater results. If you’re looking for top-notch professional carpet cleaning, be sure to contact The Steam Team.

Is Steam Cleaning Safe for Your Family?

So you’re getting ready for some heavy duty cleaning, and wondering which method you should use! The Steam Team always strongly encourages steam cleaning, as it’s completely safe for your family, and the environment! Let’s take a glance at the many benefits of steam cleaning so that you can make an informed decision about which method you should use this time around!

What is Steam Cleaning?

Steam cleaning, or hot water extraction, uses absolutely nothing but hot water and high water pressure to extract grime from many types of flooring and surfaces alike. It doesn’t use any chemicals at all! That’s what makes it so safe for your family.

Why Choose Steam Cleaning?

Steam cleaning is cost efficient. You won’t be spending money on chemicals or household cleaners! You won’t even need ‘em! We know- it’s a huge relief.

Steam cleaning is a versatile method of cleaning. It can clean anything from natural stone flooring, carpeting, tile and grout, and even counter top and draperies! Forget that scrub brush and mop and bucket; all you need is a good ‘ol steam cleaning machine!

The professionals can do it all for you. How convenient is that? You can save both time and energy by hiring a professional cleaning and restoration company to help you out. Just make sure you’re choosing wisely; sometimes it’s better to hire a professional than to rent a machine. A professional steam cleaning company will have the perfect equipment for the job.

What Floors Can You Steam Clean?

What floors can you steam clean? Just about any, as long as it’s not hardwood! Below are a few different types of flooring that you can steam clean- and boy does it pay off (the steam cleaning, that is)! There’s just nothing that compares to the clean that this method provides. Once you start steam cleaning, you’ll hopefully never return to any other method again (unless necessary, of course)!

TIle and Grout

Steam cleaning is best for tile and grout. Why is this the case? Because grout is porous, and absorbs spills and accidents more easily than other types of flooring. Tile needs special care, as it can become stained and scratched easily, too! That’s why we recommend steam cleaning for tile and grout.

Marble and Stone

A professional-grade steam cleaner can easily clean marble and stone flooring! And you don’t have to worry about any damage occurring to your beautiful stone floorings; a steam cleaner is gentle. Using nothing but hot water and high water pressure, a steam cleaner cleans up a marble floor in no time!

Carpeting

Sometimes, vacuuming and shampooing aren’t enough, and greater measures should be taken on carpeting. Steam cleaning, for example! A steam cleaner reaches deep within the fibers of your dirty carpet, and extracts debris, dust, dirt, dander, and anything else lurking down in there! It’s your absolute best bet for keeping your carpet clean.

The Steam Team is more than happy to help keep your flooring in optimal condition! Visit our website to view our services, or give us a call today! We can come out to your home or commercial office, inspect the area, and do what needs to be done! You won’t have to lift a finger. Doesn’t that sound like the best plan? We think it does!

Moving? 3 Tips to Clean Our Your Old Home and Get Ready for the New!

Moving into a new home can be an overwhelming experience for everyone involved! There are so many things you have to do, like cleaning out the entire kitchen, everything in those old closets, and you even have to worry about the attic! But don’t worry; we’re here to simplify the process for you. Here are three areas you should focus on when cleaning out your old home, and getting ready for the new!

Cleaning Out Appliances

Stainless steel appliances tend to have steaks on their surface. But steam can easily remove these streaks- without the use of chemicals. There will be no residue left behind on the stainless steel!

Cleaning Out the Bathroom

The bathroom is a great place to start when cleaning out your old home; it won’t be visited as frequently as, for example, the living room. The main areas of importance in the bathroom are going to be the shower- especially if it’s tiled, the sink area, and the flooring. A professional-grade steam cleaner can easily extract grime from the tile and grout in your shower, as well as on the floor!

Carpeting and Flooring

The carpeting and flooring of your old home deserve your ultimate tender loving care. A steam cleaner, using nothing but hot water and high water pressure, can extract dirt, dust, debris, and other nasty, unwanted substances from deep within your carpet fibers. You can also use a steam cleaner on marble and natural stone flooring, or tile.

The Steam Team has well over a decade of experience cleaning and restoring homes to their original, pristine condition. When you set out to clean out your old home, consider contacting The Steam Team; we’re available 24/7, and can take care of anything, from a dirty bathroom floor, to hardwood floor that needs refinishing. Don’t hesitate; give us a call today!
