Steam Cleaning: How It Works

Cleaning household surfaces with a steam cleaner

One of the tools our cleaners use during general and maintenance cleaning is a steam cleaner. The idea is simple: water in the tank heats up and turns into high-temperature steam, which lifts dirt and disinfects the surface.

What can be cleaned with steam

  • Kitchen appliances;
  • furniture and curtains — removes dust without any cleaning products;
  • the bathroom and tiles;
  • floors, skirting boards, doors and door handles;
  • mirrors and plastic windows.

Steam cleaning works on almost any hard or fabric surface, except ones that can’t handle moisture — certain types of wood, for example.

Why it’s worth it

The high temperature of the steam kills bacteria, dust mites and mould, without needing any chemicals — which matters especially for families with allergy sufferers or young children. Steam also gets into tight gaps and joints that an ordinary cloth can’t reach.

If disinfecting surfaces without chemicals matters to you as much as the cleaning itself, ask our specialist about steam cleaning when booking a general or maintenance clean.
