What is Steam Cleaning?
As water heats the very hot water vaporizes, this steam can be applied to many surfaces in our homes. Steam vapor is very hot; usually over 200º F. Heat is the first important part. Heat will weaken the bond between the dirt and stains to the various surfaces to which the dirt is sticking or is embedded. When using the microfiber pads you wipe the surfaces clean.

Why is Steam Cleaning more effective than traditional cleaning?
Hard surfaces are actually porous. Steam penetrates those pores to get to the embedded dirt.  For really bad areas, there are new all-natural, enzyme based formulas that effectively eat through most bacteria, dirt, grime, and mold when used with your steam cleaner. To test this theory we did two tests.  In one tests we cleaned the kitchen counter top with soapy water and used a microfiber towel. Then one half of the counter we steam cleaned. As we rubbed our hand over the steam cleaned half, it felt as smoother compared to the other half, letting us see the superior cleanliness.  The second test we had a colleague take a sample of each side to check the level of germs.  The steam cleaned side was almost completely germ free.

What are the chief advantages of steam cleaning?
Steam Cleaners Shark penetrates pores surfaces we clean, and cleans more thoroughly without the use of toxic chemicals. This lack of chemicals used in the cleaning process is a huge benefit to those who are sensitive to chemicals or are trying to reduce the level of toxic particles in their homes, especially when children or pets are present.  Plus pet hairs, germs and bacteria are gone.

Killing germs, bacteria and microorganisms such as mold and dust mites is perhaps the best advantage of all.  The hot steam vapor is a natural sanitizing and deodorizing agent without any chemical odor or residue. When the vapor steam penetrates surfaces, it destroys mold spores, germs, viruses, dust mites, and bacteria. It is a sanitizer for environments where there have been adults or children with infections of any kind and now you want to restore the place to germ free. This process will be more effective than most disinfecting chemicals. In normal household use, the Steam Cleaners Shark is a greatly needed tool for homeowners.

For more effective cleaning of stubborn cleaning chores, pre-spraying the area with an all-natural, enzyme based agent and then using steam vapor enhances the cleaning capability.  For a stubborn stain try a few drops of white vinegar then steam.  As a general rule steam cleaning will clean and sanitize and deodorize all surfaces as you complete your normal cleaning.

One study indicates the average household spends 8 hours a week and approximately $25.00 in cleaning products.  That is a total of 416 hours and a whopping $300.00 per year just to keep the house clean.  So, what is the solution?  For me it was the Shark.  The initial cost was under $100.00 (about the cost I spent for cleaners and polish monthly).  I was not sure it would clean as well as I wanted.  I read all the reviews… some were positive… some were negative.  I decided it was worth the test.  My test was to go through every room and see what it would clean.  How many extra cleaning products would I need to purchase?  I did not think it was really possible to clean an entire house without any cleaning products.  What about furniture polish, floor cleaner, window cleaner?  Surely I had to have something to scrub the grim away!  I was amazed!

I used my Shark Steamer the living room furniture… no more dust-mites.  I steamed the drapes… no more wrinkles or dust.  I steamed the floors… and the dirt was completely gone!  The whole process only took me a few minutes.  Then I cleaned the mirrors (without window cleaner).  They were sparking.  No dirt, no more stains on the carpet, and the living room smelled clean.

Next I tackled the bedrooms… I steamed the pillows and beds, the mirrors, the baseboards, and the floors.  Again it all went quickly and easily.  The steamer was easy to use and light when I had to carry it up the stairs.  The microfiber pads picked up all the dirt, even pet hair.

For a moment just imagine that you could clean your house with no harsh chemicals.  As I ran my hands over the furniture it was so clean and smooth.   No grimy film to rinse and wipe until it seems to be gone.  No pine scent… or lemon scent… just fresh and clean.

When I cleaned the bathrooms I spent less than 10 minutes and the porcelain was sparkling.  The toilets were clean with no scrubbing.  Sometimes when company would drop in I hated to let them in the bathroom as it was my least favorite to clean.  Now they are beautiful.

Finally I was in the kitchen, my favorite room.  We all gather around the table and talk when we eat at night.  The kids love to play in the floor so I keep it extra clean.  The steamer would come in really handy here.  I steamed the counters, the sink, the stove, the cabinets, the baseboards, and the floor.  I still had enough energy so I steam cleaned the refrigerator and steamed the freezer.  It was a wow moment.  My Shark Steamer cleaned it all.

I was all finished within an hour and that included reading the manual.  My home is CLEAN!

It is clear that the advantages of steam cleaners outweigh the disadvantages; making steam cleaning, the tool of the future.  For these reasons the Steam Cleaners Shark has become the preferred cleaning tool for many people with allergies, asthma, and chemical sensitivities.

What is the improvement with steam over just scrubbing away with cleaners? Steamers can be a faster cleaner and more effective than regular cleaning methods. Dirt is loosened up amazingly fast and the dry steam penetrates the pores of surfaces. We never saw our kitchen countertops as clean as when using one of these cleaners. Vapor steam cleaning appeals to those who want to get their house REALLY clean. It is also a natural sanitizer, great around pet and nursery areas. Vapor steam cleaning is a cleaning process that does not leave a residual from a supermarket cleaning fluid, so surfaces are left cleaner.

How can steam cleaning help me with allergies to dust mites and molds? The all pervasive dust mite lives in our mattresses, blankets, pillows, upholstered furniture, carpets and even clothing. The usual method of getting rid of dust mites is to wash all bedding once weekly in hot water over 140 degrees. Very few allergy sufferers adhere to this regimen and end up sleeping with dust mite infected bedding. Other areas are even more difficult to control and can require costly sprays and powders while needing frequent applications. The heat of the steam kills the dust mites on contact. Just steam all bedding, carpets, sofa, chairs, and draperies, and dust mites are killed instantly, with no wet residue. The Steam Cleaners Shark works so well you should use a good HEPA vacuum to vacuum up any dirt and dead mite particles left behind. Mold spores such as those found around your windows, in bathrooms, or in your basement are killed on contact. There is no toxic residue after steaming, which is healthy for everyone, even those in the family who do not have allergies.

How do I find the best steamer for my needs? These are the features of steam cleaners that are important or cause machines to rise in price.  Residential units generally use steam between 200 and 250 degrees. Boiler and other parts made out of stainless steel to prevent rusting.

• Holding water tank capacity.
• Ability to regulate the steam outflow.
• A good handle for easy lifting up stairs.
• Ability to regulate the steam temperature.
• Castors that allow for easy maneuverability.
• Low pressure systems are better than high pressure system.
• Cost.  Is this the one right for me that will be within my budget?
• Length of warranty on boiler and other parts. It is usually 1-3 years for a good residential machine.
• The weight of the machine should not exceed 3 to 5 pounds without water. This will make it light enough for easy movement to take up or down the stairs.  1 gallon of water will increase weight to 10 pounds.
• Length of the power cord for continuous cleaning without moving the machine (and cooling down the steam).
• The accessories included for special cleaning tasks, and optional accessories available. What are the sizes of the cleaning brushes will the microfiber cleaning pads be machine washable, durable, and reusable?

Using the steam cleaners shark is healthy for our planet, too. Chemicals used in cleaning products, more often than not, get washed down the drain – like the big bucket of dirty water mixed with floor cleaner, or the blue stuff that swishes around your toilet. And where do they end up? They end up in a few different places – like in our water supply, threatening waterways and the wildlife that depend on these areas for sustenance; some are even hormone disruptors that don’t biodegrade. Environmentalists estimate that an average household’s cleaning products contribute about 8% of total non-vehicular emissions of organic compounds, which not only pollute the air, but also cause eye, nose, and lung irritation, as well as rashes, headaches, nausea, asthma, and, in some cases, cancer.

Your Shark Steam cleaner will restore dirty tile and grout; get rid of baked-on grease in ovens or on barbeque grills, and reach grimy, out-of-the-way spots that most people dread to even consider.

How does pressurized steam work as an everyday cleaner? When steam is forced onto a surface, the very small vapor molecules penetrate pores in the surface. The vapor molecules quickly and powerfully expand to force out all dirt, grease, detergents, bacteria, and basically any particles that don’t naturally belong on the surface. The added bonus is the high temperature of vapor molecules, which kills bacteria and other pathogens like mold, fleas, flea eggs, and dust mites. The result is a surface that is sanitized, deodorized, and hypoallergenic. A thorough job of cleaning also means you won’t have to work as hard the next time around!
