What's so great about a steam cleaner?

With green cleaning on everyone’s mind these days we thought we would take this opportunity to talk about one of the greatest compliments to your green cleaning solutions.  Cleaning with steam is naturally a green option because your only ingredient is water.  Cleaning with water is beneficial in so many ways.  For many Americans, water is pretty much free.  It is also free of harsh smells or odors.  And since water is inexpensive, if not free, it is an economical choice for cleaning and sanitizing.  Cleaning with water is also safe for use in households with pets, children, pregnant women, or elderly.

Cleaning with steam accomplishes something that many chemicals simply cannot do, it kills bacteria.  Regardless of what is applied to bacteria in hopes of killing it, temperature is the only guaranteed way to safely remove bacteria from surfaces without leaving behind harsh chemicals.  Steam deodorizes and sanitizes with heat and moisture, and since you are using only water, your home or work place has never been safer, healthier, or more environmentally friendly. 

Steam cleaners can do a lot of things that regular vacuums cannot do, like kill bed bugs or remove stains from carpet. Oh, and that wallpaper you have been wanting to remove from the hallway bathroom, the steam cleaner can handle that too.  There are many options for steam cleaning available, from highly versatile cleaners that can tackle every job in the home to highly specialized steamers that are ideal for specific tasks.  

A steam cleaner like a Reliable EnviroMate E5 is like the swiss army knife of steam machines. The EnviroMate line of cleaners have so many accessories and attachments, we dare you to find a surface in your home they cannot clean. Complete with accessories like an upholstery brush you can clean cloth surfaces on furniture throughout your home. A squeegee makes indoor and outdoor cleaning of windows a breeze for anyone. Brushes come in nylon, brass, and stainless varieties in many shapes and sizes and pressurized nozzles aid in cleaning surfaces large and small. A carpet sole allows your steam cleaner to glide over carpets that would otherwise not be possible, such as spot cleaning thick piled carpets.

If you step up from the EnviroMate E5 to something like the EnviroMate Pro EP1000 now you have a weed killer in your steam cleaner and a water filtration vacuum all in one.  Another comparable brand is the Rotho Twin TT Aquafilter Vacuum, which combines steam cleaning and vacuuming into one fantastic machine.  With a wet clean system and a dry clean system, every surface of your home can be cleaned and sanitized, with the use of water only. Just like the Reliable machines, these Rotho steam cleaners have no shortage of accessories and attachments. A complete set of attachments is included for wet cleaning and a separate set is provided for dry cleaning. Depending on your cleaning needs, these steam cleaners come with a tool for every job in your home and beyond.

For smaller jobs or smaller budgets, we really like the Reliable EnviroMate Pronto P7 handheld steamer.  This little machine packs a powerful, steamy punch in tight spaces or on the go.  The Pronto P7 is the perfect size for travel and has a great selection of accessories that come in a handy 14 piece kit.  You can steam garments to remove wrinkles, use the nylon or brass brushes to clean everything from tiles to barbecue grills, or snap on the squeegee for convenient, powerful window cleaning.
