- According to the Daimer Industries industrial cleaning equipment website, the uses for a steam cleaner include cleaning appliances like inside refrigerators, spot cleaning rugs, cleaning car wheels, doorjambs and other detail work inside and outside your car. The steam cleaner is also excellent for sanitizing a baby changing station, toilets, sinks and showers. Clean tile surface in bathrooms and kitchens with steam or disinfect quilts, bedspreads, blinds, cabinet facings and baseboards. Clean and deodorize rubber boots, kill dust mites in mattresses or elsewhere, clean HVAC coils or shine up that diamond ring.
- A steam cleaner is not a substitute for a vacuum cleaner or carpet cleaner. They do not have the power or design to clean large areas of carpets, although there are some steam-based carpet cleaning machines. Steam cleaners should not be used to clean porous surfaces like concrete, stucco or brick and should not be used on unsealed hardwoods, water-based paint or any material that is sensitive to heat.
- Steam cleaning has several benefits that you should know about. This is a completely natural method of cleaning and sanitation. Only clean water is used to power a steam cleaner and there are no harsh chemicals added to the water that may cause noxious fumes or harm surfaces. In addition there is no toxic residue left behind. Steam is an effective killer of bacteria, germs and viruses. It is environmentally friendly and is one device that can take the place of several others because of its wide range of uses.
- If you are wondering how these devices work to produce such clean, positive and safe results, the basic idea is simple. Regular water is poured into a container on the device where an electrical heating element boils the water to create steam. The steam is then pushed through a hose to a nozzle and cleaning tools where it will continue to clean until the water boils dry.
