What can you do to help Save the Environment…and help yourself at the same time?

Every day harmful chemicals and pollutants are being pumped into the environment. Some are going into the atmosphere, some into the water supply and others still at entering the land. So often we are not even aware that what we are doing is polluting our environment. Although we cannot control all of the harmful chemicals and pollutants we introduce into our environment we can do our share. And quite often we receive benefits we did not expect when we try to help the environment.

One of the ways we pollute with harmful chemicals in our everyday life is when we clean our homes and businesses. When you use harmful chemical-based cleaners you are introducing agents into our environment that are quite harmful. We are also putting our families and ourselves at risk using chemical-based cleaners and the amazing thing is that chemical-based cleaners do not even clean as thoroughly as we think they are.

Chemical-based cleaners do an adequate job cleaning the surfaces you can see, however, they do not clean in the cracks and crevices that exist in all surfaces. In addition, chemical-based cleaners leave a residue after cleaning. Not only can that residue have a negative effect on people that come into contact with the “cleaned” surfaces, this residue also attracts new dirt. As a result, we need to clean surfaces that have been cleaned with chemical-based cleaners more often, which results in even more pollutants effecting our environment.

The answer…clean your home or business with a steam cleaner.

Steam cleaners are one of the least understood cleaning appliances used today. Most people think of carpet cleaners when they hear steam cleaner. Most carpet cleaners do use steam to clean carpets, however, the only thing they are good for cleaning is carpeting. Steam cleaners can sanitize carpets and clean and remove many spots on carpets, however, they are not made for cleaning a carpet like a carpet cleaner.

Steam cleaners do much more than clean carpets. The clean, sanitize and disinfect most surfaces in your home or business using only water. This means no harm to the environment and no need for costly chemical-based cleaner.

Steam Cleaners heat the water to at least 212 degrees and use that dry heat to clean, sanitize and disinfect the surfaces being cleaned. The high heat not only lifts dirt and grim right off of surfaces, it also reaches down into the cracks and crevices in all surfaces for a deep clean. And, since you do not need to use any chemical-based cleaners there is no residue left behind. In addition to your home or business staying cleaner longer you will also spend less money on chemical-based cleaners.

In addition, the high heat will kill most bacteria, germs, mold and mildew on contact. Surfaces like countertops, sinks and faucets in kitchens and bathrooms will be free of bacteria and germs. Showers and bathtubs will be free of mold and mildew if cleaned regularly with a steam cleaner. Carpeting, upholstery and drapery will be free of dust mites, fleas and their larvae. And mattresses can be sanitized regularly to insure they are free of bed bugs and allergens, including dust mites.

Used properly a steam cleaner can clean your home or business more thoroughly than ever without exposing people and the environment to the ill effects of chemical-based cleaners. Steam cleaners are even safer for pets.
