There are two types of people in this world; folk who claim to enjoy cleaning and those who tell the truth. Let’s face it; there are better ways to spend your time and money than scrubbing, sweeping, polishing – all the ‘ings’ – so if there’s any method which promises to save us those precious ticks and treasure, then we’re very much here for it.
Whether you’re looking for carpet cleaning in Melbourne or mirror steaming in Manhattan, here are 5 benefits of steam cleaning, IDEAL for more effective, environmentally friendly housework.
ABSOLUTE CLEANING
Absolute cleaning; could there be a more intoxicating phrase to the domesticated gods and goddesses than that? Steam cleaning enables users to have that all encompassing cleaning with higher efficiency and versatility over high to reach, vast surfaces.
Since steam cleaning uses a high-temperature steam, it’s able to clean, disinfect and polish surfaces simultaneously. And who can argue with something so thorough? It not only removes dirt and grime but keeps you safe from microbial infections, too; result!
AFFORDABLE
Though the initial investment in a steam cleaner is higher than most mops, buckets and brushes, the money saved on cleaning products (they only need water to work) and that precious time of yours makes the purchase worthwhile pretty quickly. What’s more, steam cleaners aren’t actually too expensive; you’ll find a decent one on the high street at around the £50 mark.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
We’d all like to tread a little lighter, right? To leave less of an imprint on this beautiful world of ours? Harsh, household cleaning chemicals aren’t doing any good to the planet, leaching into soil and water and poisoning local plant and animal life. You guessed where this one is going? Steam cleaning uses only water, and doesn’t require those evil chemicals at all.
That doesn’t mean that steam cleaners are water guzzlers; they actually require fairly low levels of the good stuff to function. Clean surfaces and a clean conscience? Count us in.
EFFECTIVE CLEANING
The high temperatures of steam cleaning – at least 100°C – required to create effective steam ensures users are able to kill 99.9% of bacteria, mould growth, trapped pollutants, dust mites, and hard stains. That’s some effective, efficient cleaning right there.
VERSATILITY

- The ability to clean the tiles and grout effectively.
