What is Steam Cleaning?

It is the process of cleaning that uses steam to clean and sanitize surfaces. The steam is produced in a boiler by heating up water to 240°-310° F. or by a "flash" heating system. It is then converted to low-pressure, low-moisture water vapor, with as little as 4-6% water.

What are benefits of steam cleaning?

No chemicals are used. This helps not only our environment. With no chemicals being used, this also means steam cleaners are safe for the chemically sensitive to use. Studies show that over 3 million people each year are poisoned by their cleaning products; why even risk it?

They are eco-friendly in using only water and heat to clean which means no empty cleaning bottles to dispose. They don't leave behind toxic residue or stain clothing like some cleaning agents can. They kill bacteria and germs. Bacteria such as e-coli, listeria, and salmonella are killed upon contact with the use of steam cleaners, as well as viruses, mildew, and dust mites. They are very versatile and with the right attachments can be used nearly anywhere on any surface. Eliminates allergy triggers such as smoking, dust and dust mites, chemical residue, plants, animals, mold and mildew, and food.
