Why Steam Cleaning is the Best Method for a Natural Clean

Water Damage Bastrop

Over the years, steam cleaning has become an increasingly popular method for cleaning tile and grout, carpet and even some wood floors in a more natural and efficient way than most cleaning methods. But does it really live up to all that hype? Let’s explore some facts about steam cleaners to find out but before we get into that I want to let you know that we also provide water damage services to Bastrop, Texas.

Is it worth the cost?

When looking online or in a store to buy or rent a steam cleaner, prices may seem high at first. But if you consider the monthly or even weekly costs of other detergents or cleaners that you might normally use, you’ll realize that a steam cleaner is an investment that will save you more money in the long run. Check out some of our recent cleaning projects.

Safety First

Most cleaning products and methods currently available use harmful, toxic chemicals that can be a danger to children and pets in the home, and can cause allergic reactions in some people. Steam cleaning is a much safer, more natural method since it uses only water and heat to function and completely sanitize any surface, killing 99.99% of bacteria. Steam cleaning gets the job done without the potentially harmful side effects, making it an obvious choice for many homeowners.

Steam Cleaning VS Vacuuming

While vacuums collect only a small fraction of dirt, dust and other debris and allergens, steam cleaners rid the entire surface of any debris. Vacuum cleaners also fail at eliminating dust mites, which could be embedded deep in your carpet and surviving off of the debris that the vacuum cleaner can’t reach. Steam cleaning kills and flushes out these pesky dust mites and gives your carpet, tile or any other floor option the clean it needs!

In conclusion, steam cleaners are an inexpensive, safe and more effective method at achieving the right clean for your home. But what’s even better than a steam cleaner is a top-notch, high-powered steam cleaner in the hands of a trained professional.

Water Extraction and Flood Cleanup From The Pros

It can occur from many different things such as natural disasters, plumbing issues, leaky appliances and more, but no matter what the cause, flood damage can ruin any home or business, cause massive strain on finances, and even risk the lives and health of those in the property. When these disasters occur, you want to have someone who’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can quickly remove the water to mitigate the damaging effects. That’s what we, here at The Steam Team, are for.

Water Extraction From The Pros

Our professional team of trained technicians will quickly utilize high-powered water extraction equipment to get rid of the water, hopefully before mold growth begins. However, if the water is removed too rapidly, the change in pressure could cause structural damage, so depending on the amount of water in the home, the extraction could take up to 24 hours. But this is only in extreme flooding cases. Our professionals will remove the water as quickly as possible, but also as safely as possible. Once the water has been removed, they’ll start on the cleaning process.

Cleanup and Mold Elimination

Our professional cleaning process will begin with a detailed sanitizing of every affected surface, starting with the floors and walls of the flooded area. The floors will be removed entirely if needed. If the extraction wasn’t soon enough, and mold has taken root anyway, our technicians can handle that too. Our mold remediation process will entirely eliminate the mold from the property, rather than covering it or simply stopping it's growth like some common store-bought products might do.

As you can see, our professional technicians have the right equipment, training and skills to take on any flooded property and leave it cleaned from top to bottom and restored as much as possible. And don’t forget that we’re available for flood damage cleanup 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you have a flood emergency, don’t forget to call!

Commercial Cleaning: Keeping Your Restrooms Clean

Commercial Cleaning The Steam Team

Restrooms can sometimes be a harsh reality. In order to continuously keep commercial restrooms clean and sanitary, it’s likely that you’ll have to implement systems or bring in outside help.

Bringing in Outside Help

Deep Cleaning

One of the most common complaints with cleaning high-traffic restrooms is keeping the tile and grout clean. In some cases, this could on the floor, backsplash, or even countertops. Grout can be especially difficult to clean around moisture, but steam cleaning will undoubtedly do the trick.

Targeting Trouble Areas

Of course the tile and grout aren’t the only areas that need attention around the bathroom - especially with how damage-prone the environment already is (from the constant waterflow). Cleaning around the bathroom becomes much more efficient when you target the sinks, floors, counters, toilets, trash cans, etc.

Additionally, if you take preventive measures to keep these target areas from collecting grime, you’ll find that a deep clean can turn a sort-of clean restroom into a room that looks brand-spanking-new!

Cover Every Surface

Last, but certainly not least, don’t leave any surface behind! When you make sure to touch every surface before leaving the restroom, you’re guaranteed a spotless environment.

Now, remember when we talked about bringing in outside help? That’s really the secret to ensuring that your commercial restrooms are continuously spotless. It’s not as daunting as you may think - in fact, it’ll take a huge stress off of your shoulders!
