What's Better: Mopping or Steam Cleaning?

Cleaning in Austin, Texas

People have been mopping their floors clean for centuries, and it's a very simple and mostly effective way to clean your floors. But in more recent years, more and more people are using steam cleaners. If you’re still on the fence, let’s discuss what makes steam cleaning different, and then you can decide for yourself whether you want to stick with the mop.

More Possibilities

One of the things that makes steam cleaning more popular than mopping is that it doesn’t require any chemicals. Whereas mopping usually involves mixing some kind of chemical cleaner with the water, steam cleaning is just water and heat, but achieves an even better clean! This also means that steam cleaners can be used on a wide variety of surfaces, even things like upholstery and curtains. They’re also great for getting rid of fat and grease, cleaning tiled floors and walls, and even cleaning the inside of your car!

Better Against Mold

One of the most significant benefits of using a steam cleaner over a mop is how effective they are against mold. Many people use bleach to get rid of mold, but in fact, bleach only turns the mold white so that it blends in with the surface. The high temperature of steam cleaning kills the mold while the bristles help remove it from those hard to reach places.

Safe For The Home

Because only water and heat are used in steam cleaning, your home or place of business will remain free from the chemical residue or pollution that some cleaners may leave behind. This will make the environment much safer for you and those around you.

Allergies

Steam cleaning significantly benefits people with allergies and asthma, since it uses all natural steam to remove dirt and grime from all surfaces. Therefore, it won’t aggravate any allergies or cause respiratory issues.

Professional Steam Cleaning

It should be clear by now that steam cleaning has mops and other chemical cleaning methods beat. However, steam cleaners are expensive, and you may not want to go through the work of buying one and doing the cleaning yourself. But don’t worry, that’s why The Steam Team is here. Our professional technicians will use top-of-the-line steam cleaners and other methods to rejuvenate your home. For more information on the services we offer, visit The Steam Team website.
