Many of us are drawn to what we hear or read in adverts about the wonders of household cleaning products designed specifically for each job around the home. While ‘everything in moderation’ holds true for the use of cleaning agents, we must not loose sight of the fact that they do all contain powerful chemicals which some people may be sensitive to. The need to have clean homes and laundered clothes has resulted in cleaning agents being bought and used without questioning their effect on our children, our pets, the environment or us. However, with the focus now on caring better for our environment, there are alternative products available such as the use of steam cleaners which use just water at very high temperatures to clean just about every household surface, or the use of organic cleaning products.

There is a growing need to reduce our carbon foot print via reduction in the use of fuels and the release of toxins in to the atmosphere. Many house-hold detergent manufactures are addressing this important issue by using biodegradable ingredients in place of environmentally hazardous biologically stable detergents. The use of detergents free from non-essential additives like perfumes, color and brightening agents in minimal packaging will go a long way in assuring healthier and cleaner environment. But, an even 'cleaner' option is to avoid the use of cleaning detergents in your home altogether and invest in a multi-functional steam cleaner, which uses just water. This means you will also be cutting down on the expense of buying products needed to clean carpets, windows, hob, bathroom, kitchen, grouting and floors plus throwing less packaging into the bin or into recycling.

For many people in the UK, household chores equate to the use of various job specific cleaning agents, cloth, vacuum cleaner and a duster combined to fight dirt and grime around the home. Many of us feel so disillusioned at the mere thought of spending hours cleaning our homes for it to get dusty and dirty again. The rate at which the glory of a shiny home changes is dependent on the footfall and by whom – human or pet. Perhaps this presents a great opportunity to discover how the high use of cleaning agents and time spent cleaning can be resolved by the use of a steam cleaner, which is also an environmentally safe way of cleaning.

Discover why steam cleaning the floor is more effective than getting down on your hands and knees to scrub or using a traditional floor mop. Once you have had a taster of using a  steam cleaner, you will really appreciate why it is considered to be such an effective cleaning machine.

The recommended treatment for dust mites, which lives in our clothes, mattresses, carpets and upholstery is to machine wash the items at a temperature of at least 130 degrees F.  Using a steam cleaner will provide you with a method of penetrating all of these surfaces thoroughly with temperatures in excess of 180 degrees F.

The average UK household has a cupboard filled with a number of cleaning agents all labeled for different uses around the home. But, used frequently they fill the air with toxic fumes, which may have an effect on the health of the occupants. The alternative is to invest in a steam cleaner, which are proven to clean and sanitize more thoroughly without the use of any cleaning product, just steam. They are one of the most effective cleaning tools available.
