INVESTING IN A STEAM CLEANER TO DO YOUR CARPET CLEANING

If you have rug-rats running around your house the way I do. I can follow my daughter through the rooms by the mess she leaves in her wake. Every stain imaginable is left as evidence of where she has been there.

One solution would be to change the carpet every time the mess got too bad. No, I guess like most parents. I have to find a way to clean up the mess myself. The most practical and economical solution is to use a steam cleaner. If you thought steam cleaning was only the purview of cleaning companies, you would be surprised. There are many steam cleaners that are available for the homeowner to buy and use at his own home. The most popular brand is Hoover. I decided to purchase a Hoover steam cleaner even before my daughter became a toddler and started making a mess on her own. The baby mess, with spilled bottles, spit up food and other "acccidents" convinced me that it would be a good investment in the long run, I was warned by other parents about the mess that is inevitable with children, but I had to find out on my own. The almost daily stains that my daughter is responsible for have convinced us that this was the right decision. Even though we have tried to have her be more careful, we are still overwhelmed with stains. Our wonderful steam cleaner, however, gets rid of al the stains, even the most stubborn ones such as coffee (which I can't blame my daughter for!).

How to Clean Leather and Fabric Upholstered Sofas

Cleaning leather upholstery

Most covering sofas are fabricated with accomplished leather, which is absolute for blush accord and advised with a bright top covering for best durability. Because of this process, abounding accepted domiciliary stains–especially clay and mud–can be bankrupt with balmy baptize and a apple-pie blot or cloth. But for boxy stains, or to accord your covering daybed a absolute cleaning, chase these steps:

Vapor steam cleaner


Vapor steam cleaners use a boiler to heat tap water to high temperatures (240 to 310 degrees) causing the water to be transformed into a very fine, dry mist. The vapor is made up of about 5 to 6% water, so surfaces dry quickly. The vapor particles are much smaller than steam particles allowing the ability to clean in tighter spaces. In 2005, the University of Washington tested a vapor steam cleaner and said “the steam vapor’s low moisture and high temperature provides deeper cleaning because it penetrates into the pores and crevices better than topically applied cleaners”. Since steam vapor cleaners use no chemicals, there is a benefit to indoor air quality, no hazards or risks from using and storing chemicals, and no harmful chemical residue left after the cleaning process.
Vapor steam cleaners have been in use at hospitals.
Recently, green cleaning has been gaining interest and popularity in the quest to end our reliance on disinfecting chemicals. Technology has provided us with vapor steam cleaners to combat mold, bacteria, viruses, mildew, and fungus without the use of chemicals. In addition, Rona Fried, Ph D. said “the fact that you can achieve sanitation from tap water frees you from chemical-safety concerns.”
