Steam cleaners for home have dropped in price and are more efficient.
If you make the switch to steam cleaning you may surprise yourself as to how many uses you will find. I bought my steam cleaner to help with the major spring clean, but I have found it so easy to use it now comes out every time I start a cleaning job.
I use my steam cleaner to sanitize areas I cannot see, steam will jet into the smallest space and crack. I use steam to push dirt out of the joints in my window frames and the amount of dirt that came off my already washed grouting had to be seen to be believed.
If you ever suffer odors coming up from your drains steam is an absolute gift. The trap in your plumbing is perfect for bacteria to breed damp and almost impossible to clean. With a fine jet on my steamer I can blast grime that I cannot reach and the whole inside of the pipe is sterilized at the same time. With the bacteria removed the odors just disappear.
When I had babies and toddlers in my home they always had a favourite comfort toy that they hated to release for washing. Unfortunately that well chewed rabbit ear was a breeding ground for bacteria that could easily be transferred straight to baby's mouth. I could freshen that toy and kill all the bacteria by blasting it with steam and the toy was ready for return before the tears started to flow.
My dogs love to play with all the other neighbourhood hounds but they often came home with the odd unwanted visitor. I could treat the dogs with anti-flea treatments form my vet. And with steam I could make sure their beds were also flea free. On that subject steam quickly sent bed bugs packing when a couple hitched a ride from a hotel.
The list of jobs that you can do with a steam cleaner is almost endless. I have cleaned intricate jewellery, dropped crease from clothes, pushed stains from carpets and ensured I have the cleanest streak free windows in the street.
Steam is certainly the home cleaners' friend. I just wish I had discovered it sooner.
