How will you clean cigarette marks in smoking rooms, bedwetting stains on mattresses or chewing gum in carpets?

These problems are a turning frustration for housekeepers. Often, they rely on even more chemicals to solve their problems. What they do not always realize is that for many cases there is a practical and cost effective alternative called steam cleaning.

Superheated dry steam at 155°C (or known as supersteam) is effective in killing bacteria, removing odours and certain (fresh) stains. Steam leaves no wet stains and since steam is dry, room turn arounds are faster.

Furthermore, its sanitizing power effectively kills bacteria, algae and mould. As the steam penetrates (e.g. grout pores) the algae are destroyed from the roots and will take longer to return.

Common Problems

Steam cleaning is very popular all over Europe, and lately it is generating much interest across Asia. Its effectiveness and versatility make steam cleaning very handy for common housekeeping problems.

It is ideal for cleaning hotel room carpets while keeping them dry. Steam cleaning is also effective as a spot-cleaning tool. Moreover, drapes, mattresses, furniture and carpets be deodorized with steam, particularly in smoking rooms.

In situations where younger guest wet the bed, the steam serves a dual function of cleaning as well as sanitizing. Because the steam is superheated, unsightly chewing gum embedded in carpets melt and can be quickly removed. Stickers on windows and walls come off easily. The dry and sanitizing effect of steam also means that it is an ideal technique for the cleaning of saunas and gymnasiums.

Which steam cleaner?

While there are many types of steam cleaners in the market, there are three types that would benefit housekeepers the most.

1. Steam only – these are basic steam cleaners that only produce steam. Get those with continuous refilling for longer operation hours. These models are suitable for cleaning toilets, upholstery, saunas and gyms.
2. Multi-function – these steam cleaners integrate steam cleaning with wet/dry vacuums and even chemical injecting capabilities for all-in-one convenience. Multi-function machines are ideal for carpet cleaning and mattress cleaning and benefit housekeepers the most.
3. Steam floor/carpet washers – though these can only clean carpets and floorings, they do an excellent job. The steam kills the bacteria and provides the moisture while twin contra-rotating cylindrical brushes rotate at 600rpm for deep cleaning and pile-lifting.

If budget is limited and only one machine can be chosen, housekeepers should select a reliable multi-function steam cleaner. The better ones come with different accessories options and can double up as ironing machines or even garment steamers.
