Steam Cleaners
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a steam cleaner work and what is its main advantage?
A steam cleaner heats water to a high temperature and releases steam onto surfaces at high pressure, which instantly breaks down dirt. Its main advantage is eco-friendliness, as cleaning is performed without the use of chemical cleaning agents.
Can a steam cleaner be used on laminate and parquet?
Using a steam cleaner on laminate and parquet is risky because the high temperature and moisture can damage the wood finish, causing deformation or delamination.
Does a steam cleaner remove stubborn grease and limescale in the kitchen and bathroom?
Yes, a steam cleaner effectively removes stubborn grease from kitchen surfaces and limescale (calcium deposits) in the bathroom.
Does high-temperature steam kill bacteria, mites, and allergens?
Yes, high-temperature steam (usually over 100°C) destroys the majority of bacteria, mites, fungi, and various allergens.
What type of water should be put into the steam cleaner – tap or distilled?
It is best to use distilled or demineralized water to prevent the accumulation of scale (limescale) inside the device.
