Benefits of Steam
The benefits of using "dry vapour steam technology" to clean are very compelling and without a doubt the way of the future as we strive to sustain our health and that of the planet for future generations.
Firstly, an explanation of how it works. Steam is easy to create, all you need is water and a heating element. Dry steam however is created in stainless steel boiler under pressure using much less water and producing much higher temperatures of up to 170 degrees C which then leaves the vapour with only 5% moisture content. These temperatures are necessary to sanitise and remove dirt and grime as the high temperature steam opens the pores of the surface allowing the trapped dirt and bacteria to be easily extracted using a cloth or vacuum. You are not only treating the surface, you are getting into where microscopic bacteria, mould and mildew live, in the pores of the surface and all the tiny cracks and crevices, especially in surfaces such as stainless steel, glass and porcelain. Surfaces are left ultra clean, dry and completely sanitised with no expensive chemical residue. No need for traditional backbreaking scrubbing as the dirt is exposed and flushed out of its hiding places , even chores such as cleaning tile grout are easily done while standing up and letting the machine do all the work. Even if you choose to use detergents with steam, it allows the user to reduce the quantity as they work better with heat. Most detergents carry a positive charge and their residues continue to attract dirt so surfaces cleaned this way get dirtier faster, increasing work. Traditionally carpets and upholstery are usually cleaned using a soak and extraction method which saturates surfaces with chemicals and warm water and then attempts to remove the dirt, water and detergent leaving fabrics wet and unusable for hours or days which promotes new growths of mould and mildew.
