Non-Toxic Cleaning with Steam Cleaners



steam cleaner

If you’re worried about the environmental concerns and health issues related to chemical-packed traditional household cleaners, you may want to consider steam cleaners as a green cleaning option.  Steam cleaners hold water in a storage tank, and a heating element boils the water which creates pressurized steam.  Then using a wand or other attachment, you can clean with powerful blasts of hot steam, without detergents or other additives.

There are many ways to use a steam cleaner for environmentally friendly household cleaning, including:

  • Ceramic Tile Floors
  • Showers & Bathtubs
  • Carpet
  • Lawn Furniture
  • Eliminating Odors
  • Disinfecting
  • Decks
  • Grills
  • Upholstery
  • Hard to Reach Nooks & Crannies

The steam cleaner above is made by Euro-Pro.  It holds enough water for 30 minutes of cleaning time, and includes several attachments.  The Euro-Pro Shark steam cleaner is available at Ace Hardware. Here’s an interesting article on the benefits of steam cleaning.

Wow, I never knew you could clean so much of your home with steam cleaning. And it is Non-Toxic? It is not even very expensive. Does a steam cleaner work as well as a vacuum? I might need to invest in one of these, maybe a good Christmas present?

Thank you for the great post!
