HOT AIR, CLEAN HOUSE The Essentials of Steam Cleaning
Whether you want to eliminate ugly stains on your living room carpet or prevent your mattress from contributing to your nighttime sniffles, your local store shelves are packed with endless cleaning products begging for your dollar. For many clean-conscious consumers, bypassing the product maze and going straight to steam cleaning for their home or office makeover has been the safest and most convenient choice. What is steam cleaning? Does it work well in all environments? Is the expense worth it? Before pursuing this increasingly popular cleaning practice, here are a few facts to consider. VOYAGE FOR VAPORS As anyone who’s scrubbed a tub without wearing gloves or done some sprucing up in an unventilated area likely knows, many cleaning supplies contain chemicals that can harm our skin or lungs. Steam cleaning avoids these health risks by utilizing high-temperature water vapor to loosen and remove stains, grime, dirt, and grease from various surfaces while killing bacteria, mold spores, dust mites, and other common irritants. It can be employed using various tools, including steam mops, heavy-duty commercial equipment,
or handheld cleaners. And it’s safer for pets and children than many of today’s potentially hazardous cleaning solutions.
SURPRISING SNAGS AND SETBACKS While steam cleaning is an enticing alternative to the traditional mop- and-bucket approach to domestic disinfection, the process does have potential drawbacks. First, steam cleaning equipment requires a much higher investment than most other cleaning methods. Second, the process requires the user to be around hot steam, which could pose a serious safety risk if mishandled. It may not be ideal for high-traffic office or home carpeting based on convenience alone, as it could take a whole day for the surface to dry fully. Most importantly, steam cleaning could damage painted walls, stone surfaces, and delicate fabrics, limiting its appeal compared to more versatile options on the market. Steam cleaning may be the perfect option for consumers who desire a more environmentally friendly and chemical-free way to achieve tidier spaces despite the cost and the time needed to complete the job.
