A dry steam cleaner is a cleaning device that utilizes steam, produced at high temperatures, to effectively clean and sanitise a variety of surfaces. Unlike traditional steam cleaners, dry steam cleaners produce steam with very low moisture content, making it suitable for use on surfaces that are sensitive to excess moisture.
Dry steam cleaners heat water to a high temperature, typically above 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit), creating steam under high pressure. This steam is then released through a nozzle or attachment, which can be directed onto the surface to be cleaned. The heat and pressure of the steam helps to loosen dirt, grime, and stains, while the low moisture content ensures quick drying and minimal residue.
Using a dry steam cleaner offers several benefits, including:
• Chemical-free Cleaning: Dry steam cleaners use the power of steam to clean, eliminating the need for harsh chemicals. This makes them environmentally friendly and safe for use in various settings.
• Effective Sanitization: The high temperature of the steam produced by dry steam cleaners is capable of killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, providing a hygienic and sanitized cleaning result.
• Versatile Cleaning: Dry steam cleaners can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including sealed floors, tiles, grout, carpets, upholstery, kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, and more. They are highly versatile and suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
• Quick Drying: Due to the low moisture content of the steam, surfaces cleaned with a dry steam cleaner dry quickly, minimizing the risk of slips or falls and allowing for faster use of the cleaned area.
• Time and Effort Savings: The powerful steam action of dry steam cleaners helps to remove tough stains and grime more efficiently than traditional cleaning methods, reducing cleaning time and effort.
• Allergen Reduction: Dry steam cleaners can effectively remove allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander, providing a healthier living or working environment for individuals with allergies or respiratory conditions.
Dry steam cleaners can be used on a wide variety of surfaces, but it's important to check the manufacturer's recommendations and guidelines for specific surface compatibility. They are generally suitable for sealed or water-resistant surfaces, including tiles, hardwood floors, laminate flooring, sealed stone, glass, and metal. However, certain delicate materials or surfaces sensitive to heat or moisture may not be suitable for steam cleaning.
For optimal results, it is recommended to remove loose debris and larger particles from the surface before using a dry steam cleaner. This ensures that the steam can penetrate effectively and remove embedded dirt or grime. Pre-cleaning also helps to prevent the spread of dirt or stains during the steam cleaning process.
Dry steam cleaners are generally safe to use around children and pets because they do not involve the use of harsh chemicals. However, it is advisable to keep children, pets, other individuals and electronics away from the cleaning area during operation to prevent accidental contact with hot surfaces or steam.
Regular maintenance is important to keep your dry steam cleaner in good working condition. This may include descaling the machine to remove mineral deposits, cleaning or replacing filters, and ensuring proper storage to prevent damage. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific maintenance requirements. We strongly advise that maintenance work on dry steam cleaners is carried out by a maintenance professional due to the dangers involved.
Dry steam cleaners are effective at removing many types of stains, including grease, grime, dirt, and some water-based stains. However, their effectiveness may vary depending on the type and severity of the stain, as well as the surface being cleaned. It is advisable to test the steam cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area before tackling larger or stubborn stains.
