What is a Steam Cleaner? This is a question we get asked constantly. “You mean; like a carpet cleaner?” More often than not, consumers confuse a steam cleaner with a carpet shampooer. The kind that you rent at your local hardware or grocery store which uses hot water to clean. To sum it up, a steamer will clean EVERYTHING.
A steamer has many capabilities and simply cuts out the human error. Steamers are used in many different trades such as: auto detail, commercial cleaning, residential cleaning, and healthcare. Cleaning everything from hospital beds, upholstery, to hard surfaces.
Using heat that is well over 300F degrees, it cleans almost everything in its path! Steam has been used to clean, sanitize, and sterilize for years. Its flexibility and durability provide a great return on investment for many who switch to steam. In these crazy times with COVID-19, people are constantly looking for better ways to sanitize surfaces.
The amount of heat provided by the steamer kills almost all bacteria within 3-5 seconds of contact. The CDC guidelines state that you need something to break down the biofilm around the COVID-19 bacteria. While we do not make any direct claims, per the guidelines we know that heat helps deteriorate the biofilm, allowing for direct contact to the bacteria. Thus, helping rid of it from the surface.
Another perk of a steam cleaner; is the longevity of the machine. When properly maintained, steamers can last for years! They provide a profitable return on investment for businesses and allow the user to promote a “green” cleaning solution for their customers.
