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.
There is news report after news report about how about pollen and other seasonal allergy triggers are right now. Seasonal allergy sufferers do not need a news story to tell them, they are probably already suffering from things like itchy, watery eyes, a scratchy throat, and a stuffy nose. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America points out what common allergy triggers tend to be and just how common seasonal allergies are in America, “The most common indoor/outdoor allergy triggers are: tree, grass and weed pollen, mold spores, dust mites, cockroaches,and cat, dog and rodent dander. In 2012, 17.6 million adults and 6.6 million children had hay fever. Worldwide, allergic rhinitis affects between 10 percent and 30 percent of the population. In 2010, allergic rhinitis was diagnosed during 11.1 million doctor visits.” Allergy sufferers often wait too long to treat symptoms or completely miss the opportunity to prevent symptoms in the first place. Steam cleaning can help dramatically reduce seasonal allergy triggers in the home.
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.
Did you host a lot of guests over the holidays or have a big Super Bowl party that left your home with some stains?

Steam cleaning is the only way to clean and remove stains effectively and bonus – Vapamore steam cleaners do not use any chemicals.
There is no debating it – animal shelters do noble work. They take in pets, care for them, give them the medical attention they need and help them find loving and safe “forever” homes. But, keeping an animal care facility clean and safe can be challenging. This is especially true for animal shelters because they care for pets from unknown origins that may have a variety of illness or ailments. Everything from animal medical care rooms, to grooming stations, to boarding rooms and crates have to be cleaned frequently and well. Proper cleaning can be challenging on its own, but sanitation is the key to preventing the spread of disease and illness.
Every day we encounter bacteria – a lot of it to be exact. Some bacteria is good for us and helps us improve our immune system so that we can fight off common illness and remain relatively health. Other bacteria is far from good for us, in fact, it is downright bad for us. You may think, “I wash my hands and use hand sanitizer, I’m fine.” Or you may think, “I mop once and vacuum once a week, my house looks pretty clean so I’m sure its fine.” Unfortunately, if you are wearing your shoes inside your home, your home may be FILLED with bacteria, and it isn’t all the good kind of bacteria.
We all want to breathe cleaner, more fresh and safe air, especially in our homes.

Retirement homes, rehabilitation and long-term care facilities all are posed with the task of maintaining a certain quality of living for their inhabitants. Regardless of what life occurrence or stage of life has prompted an inhabitant to live in a care facility of some sort, everyone wants to live in a clean and safe environment. And, those that run care facilities want to provide just that but it can be challenging with multiple individuals dwelling in one place to safely clean surfaces on a regular basis and keep things disinfected to prevent the spread of disease and illness.
