Steam vapor cleaners…the answer to controlling indoor allergies.

At least one out of five Americans suffer from allergies. There is a multitude of causes as well as a multitude of reactions. Some causes of outdoor allergies include grasses, ragweed, pollen, trees, mold and mildew. These allergies we cannot control short of staying indoors and using medication. The medications are costly and may have some side effects.

There are also indoor causes of allergies. Some of which are the allergens from the outdoors that we transport into our homes and offices on our clothing. Other indoor causes of allergies are cats and dogs, mold, mildew, dust mites and chemicals from cleaning products. The difference between outdoor allergens and indoor allergens is that indoor allergens can be controlled, eliminated or at least kept to a minimum.  

There are simple steps that can be taken to help control or eliminate indoor allergens. Consider cleaning your home with a steam cleaner. The steam vapor cleaning process was developed in Europe for disinfecting as well as cleaning. It absolutely hits the nail on the head for those of us who are seeking a “green” cleaning method that is effective, environmentally friendly and able to improve the quality of your indoor environment and living space.  

Steam cleaners go far beyond cleaning carpets and rugs to cleaning other areas of your home or office that traditional chemical based cleaners cannot go. Dust mites are a typical cause of indoor allergens. They are found in bedding and are inhaled while we sleep. A steam vapor cleaner can easily eliminate the dust mites from mattresses, pillows, couches, chairs and futons with a slow simple sweep. You would severely damage, even destroy, these items if you tried to clean them with chemical based cleaners. In addition, mildew build up found in bathrooms is gone in seconds by applying steam vapor followed by mild wiping.

You can even sanitize everything in a baby's nursery. Kill germs on toy surfaces, even stuffed animals! Bedbugs, fleas, eggs and larvae are also killed by short-term exposure to the high temperatures produced by steam vapor cleaners.  Although chemical based cleaners can kill bedbugs and fleas if used properly they have no effect on the eggs. Also, when you use a steam cleaner there are no poisons left behind to harm children, pets, or contaminate your indoor environment. After cleaning these surfaces with a steam vapor cleaner just vacuum thoroughly with a HEPA equipped vacuum to remove any particulate matter.

All of this and more is easily attainable by simply using a water only sanitation process. No chemicals are involved, no mess and no on going costs for chemical based cleaners. What better way to help protect the health of your family, friends, patients or customers then by cleaning with a steam cleaner?

Vapor steam cleaners are hard on germs but gentle on the environment.
