Steam Cleaners Remove Allergens From Living Room Area

Carpets & Flooring: Allergens produced by dust mites are among the most common triggers of asthma. Killing dust mites by using high temperature steam is an effective way to reduce allergies.  Steam cleaners are a fantastic option for cleaning carpets and flooring. Steam cleaning has been found to be one of the most effective ways to kill and control dust mites because dust mites can not control their body temperature and are therefore killed easily by extreme heat. The SteamVortex, VaporStorm, VaporStormTSI or the SteamTitan steam cleaners are able to clean and sanitize flooring surfaces using steam cleaner tools like the floor brush and extension wands. The SteamVortex floor steam cleaner is made specifically to clean flooring while the VaporStorm, VaporStormTSI and SteamTitan are home steam cleaners that are able to steam clean a myriad of home surfaces.

To help reduce allergens in your home we suggest vacuuming carpets regularly and keeping other flooring surfaces swept and kept free from dirt and dust. Allergy tip: Empty or replace the vacuum bag before it reaches full capacity. Consider using a vacuum cleaner that uses a HEPA filter. If allergies are severe, an option would be to remove carpeting and install hardwood flooring.

"In my opinion, the steam vortex is the best product on the market for cleaning and sanitizing floors.  We have two cats so we are especially pleased with it’s cleaning power and anti bacterial action.  It is light weight, gets up close to all edges and corners, and is easy to manipulate. But, best of all, it has made my life much easier.  Thank you again for such an excellent product."

Steam cleaners can be used on carpet, hardwood flooring, laminate, tile and more. In order to decide which steam cleaner will be right for you it is important to determine what areas of your home you'd like to steam clean. If you are mainly concerned with cleaning floors, the SteamVortex floor steam cleaner will do the job. The SteamVortex  carpet glide attachment allows you to glide across carpets easily while emitting high temperature steam to kill germs below. If you would like to clean a variety of areas besides floors, we suggest looking into one of our quality home steam cleaners like the VaporStorm, VaporStormTSI and SteamTitan as multipurpose steam cleaners can remove allergens in a lot of different areas.

Furniture: Dust mites in furniture can also be controlled and destroyed by using a home steam cleaner. The VaporStorm steam cleaner, VaporStormTSI, SteamTitan steam cleaner and the SteamDart handheld steam cleaner can be used to effectively clean furniture. Please be aware that some fabrics/surfaces are not recommended for steam cleaning. Always test a small unnoticeable area first before cleaning large areas. Dust hard furniture surfaces regularly and use a steam cleaner to kill dust mites and remove additional allergens.

Walls: Steam clean walls at least every six months to remove dust, smoke build up, or spider webs.

Steam cleaning walls is a very effective way to quickly remove dust or other build up. By using a covered floor brush attachment of one of our home steam cleaners, walls can be cleaned in minutes. Use a top to bottom constant motion and do not stay in one area for a long period of time. The following steam cleaners work great for steam cleaning walls: VaporStorm steam cleaner, the VaporStormTSI and the SteamTitan steam cleaner.

Pets: Steam cleaners are a great solution for cleaning pet areas. Because steam cleaners use vapor steam, there are no chemical residues to bother your pets. Areas in your home that animals have contact with should be steam cleaned regularly. Sofas, throw pillows, rugs, pet beds, etc. should be vacuumed and steam cleaned as soon as possible after an animal has had contact to remove allergens. Steam cleaners tackle cage and fish tank cleaning without using harmful chemicals that could irritate your pet.

"I have Cockatoos and purchased this steamer also for big job cage cleaning & disinfecting. Out of the box the steamer came and immediately when to work on one of my big cages. Wonderful results! Also in the cage are natural wood branches/perches that Ohana wipes her beak on to remove cooked foods. The steamer lifted that mess in no time for easy wiping and left the perches squeaky clean, without having to remove the perches from the cage! Steams into those crevasses & cracks too! Love'in this steamer!"

Windows: Mold or mildew can build up in window sills if not cleaned regularly. Steam cleaners can penetrate even the smallest corners and cracks removing and sanitizing mold and mildew. Allergy tip: Keep windows closed during pollen season or when there is an outside air advisory warning.

To effectively clean window sills, we suggest vacuuming out any free particles of dirt or dust and then using a steam cleaner (VaporStorm steam cleaner, VaporStormTSI, SteamTitan steam cleaner and the SteamDart handheld steam cleaner) to steam away the remaining dirt and debris. When the job is done simply wipe out with a damp cloth. Dry again using a clean cloth once the area is sufficiently clean.

Dust can build up on the inside of windows harboring allergens. Steam cleaners can not only remove the dust, but windows will shine like never before after using the window squeegee attachment and high temperature steam.

Using a top to bottom motion wipe the squeegee attachment down the glass with the steam engaged. Dirt and dust is removed instantly to provide a clear clean shine. Always make sure that the glass is at a normal room temperature before cleaning to avoid cracking the glass.

"...I thought I'd try it on my windows and I couldn't believe how clean my windows were after I was done. It was incredible to see how fast [the VaporStorm] removed the dirt both on the outside and inside!"
