What is a steam cleaner?
Steam cleaners are designed to distribute dry vapor steam that helps to lift dirt, stains, and buildup while sanitizing hard and soft surfaces.
How do steam cleaners work?
A steam cleaner works when water is heated past the boiling point and forced out as steam through a nozzle, brush, or attachment. The vapors loosen dirt and helps kill dust mites, mold, bacteria, and allergens. The high heat moisture dries quickly so it doesn't leave moisture behind.
