Steam Cleaner Reviews 2018 | How to Buy the Best Steam Mop for Carpet, Tiles, Floors and More

A steam cleaner is a versatile appliance that provides a healthier and greener way of cleaning. If you are thinking about looking for the best steam cleaner for souped-up hygiene for your home, from kitchen floors to carpets and upholstery, even your windows, check out this essential steam mop reviews to discover what type will suit you best.

How Does a Steam Cleaner Work?

A steam cleaner utilizes “dry” vapour steam to quickly clean, disinfect, and remove most stains and buildup. Water in a steam cleaner is heated in a boiler, which converts the liquid to vapour that exits the appliance via a hose or nozzle. These devices are suitable for hard surfaces, like sealed floors and grout and tile, and spot cleanings of softer materials, like carpets and upholstery. Since the steam cleaners generate high temperatures, they produce hot steam that is easy to clean grimy floors and eliminate bacteria and mites without using chemicals.

The Choices

Steam cleaners vary but fall into one of three types: mop, handheld, and cylinder. Details below introduce their differences. However, each model has its own features and attachments, so check carefully what is included before buying.

• Mop

Steam mops are generally upright, easy to handle and lightweight, and usually include a water tank either in or attached to the handle. Most come with a swivel and double-hinged head making them easy to move around obstacles and furniture. They can be used for hard floors such as tiles and some have a variable steam control to use with laminate and wood floors.

•  Handheld

Handheld steam cleaners are small and portable steam cleaners, which are easy to store and ideal for cleaning hard-to-reach spots, like corners, drapes and underneath furniture.

•  Cylinders

These machines are often the heaviest of the three, but usually carry more water so you do not have to refill them as often. They are used to clean different types of surfaces including floors, oven doors, taps, and grout.

Features to Consider When Buying a Steam Cleaner

• Size and Weight

Steam mops come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and weight. Before you buy a steam mop, make sure you read the dimensions and weight of the unit. As long as you know the size and weight, you can be sure whether the floor steamer fits your need or not. Another thing to keep in mind, before you buy it, make sure you have enough room to store it when it is not in use.

• Boiler Capacity

The greater the boiler capacity, the longer the operating time. However, this must be offset by the time it takes to heat versus the length of steam time available as a result. Depending on which model you settle on, the time it takes to boil the steam can be different.

• Pressure and Temperature

Floor steam cleaners that have a higher temperature produce dryer vapour and higher temperature, which offers a more sanitary cleaning and kill more germs. To make it more complex, the pressure level and temperature the machine can reach is important, but so is the consistency at which it can keep the pressure at. If the device is unable to consistently maintain the pressure level and temperature, it will be less likely to clean up your house as efficiently as you like.

•  Attachments and Accessories

Most portable steam cleaners come with a few basic attachments that you can use on different surfaces, helping you sanitize different areas of your house. Most brands also offer more tools and accessories for their steam cleaners that you can buy separately.
