Winter is coming…and that means that so are the germs and illnesses that always seem to flourish during the season. Whether you have children in school that bring homes germs, you go to an office full of people sneezing and coughing, or you just live your daily life and encounter germs, they seem to be everywhere. And, when you encounter those germs out in the world, you ultimately bring them into your home. While you may not be able to ward off every cold and flu bug that comes your way during the winter, you can significantly improve your chances of avoiding illness by using a steam cleaner throughout your home.
Moving into a new home is exciting but getting rid of the previous owner’s smells and stains is not so exciting. The last thing you want to do is move your upholstered furniture, drapery, mattresses, towels, and bedding into a home that has the previous owner’s odors. And nobody wants to look at unsightly grout or gross carpet stains that someone else caused. Moving into a new home is a fresh start so don’t let it be diminished by odors and stains – steam clean your new home before moving in for the fresh start you want!
“You have mold” are some of the most dreaded words that any homeowner can hear. Mold is not only terrible for your home but incredibly dangerous for your health. The New York Times describes just how scary mold can be if it is growing in your home, “MOLD can cause health problems that range from itching eyes, sneezing and coughing to serious allergic reactions, asthma attacks and even permanent lung damage. And what many people do not know is that mold could be growing in their homes right now… The cost of such a cleanup can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.” While there are certainly some old infestations that require the assistance of a professional to properly clean and eradicate the mold, when caught early, many homeowners can clean the mold with one powerful tool – a steam cleaner.
Spring is upon us and while that means many things – baseball, flowers, picnics, and more – it also means something a little less fun, cleaning. Spring cleaning can feel like a big task, especially if you have neglected a few things during the winter months. But, the task is not insurmountable and it does not have to take you all of spring to accomplish your entire spring cleaning list. A Vapamore steam cleaner is the ideal spring cleaning tool because it will not use costly and harmful harsh chemical cleaning products. It only uses water that has been heated to such a high degree that it produces a steam capable of disinfection. That steam is then propelled at a high rate through a focused nozzle and directed right at the area you need to clean. With such concentrated cleaning power, dirt, grime, grease, bacteria and more are lifted from porous surfaces and completely cleaned and disinfected.
Whether you are preparing for the arrival of a brand new baby or cleaning for your existing child, you want to create the safest environment in which to raise your child. It can be just to keep a clean home and car but even more so to protect your children from germs and bacteria. Small children in particular love to put things in their mouth. It is natural for your baby or toddler to constantly put things in their mouth; it is their way of learning about things. But, between your child crawling around on the floor and shoving anything they can find in their mouth, their tiny bodies are exposed to a lot of germs. You have three options – don’t clean and your house will become a germ-filled mess, clean with chemical-filled cleaning products that will likely then be ingested by your child, or opt for steam cleaning which uses no chemicals and is a green cleaning option.
