How To Choose The Best Steam Cleaner

Price and guarantee aside, there are a few key things to consider when choosing a steam cleaner.

· Look for a steam cleaner that doesn’t produce a lot of steam too quickly as this can cause excess water on surfaces, which will have to be mopped up between cleaning.

· While size is always a big selling point, steamers that are too big and power are usually also too heavy to carry with a full tank of water and take longer to heat up. Instead, choose a steamer that is sized right for the size of your home.

· If you are looking for a steamer that can tackle hard-to-reach spots, like corners, drapes, and underneath furniture but don’t have a big home, consider a handheld steamer instead. While less powerful than other bigger steamers, these portable units that fall on the more affordable end of the price spectrum and are easy to operate and store, and still get the job done.

· Always take note of how hot the steamer gets. Steam cleaners that have a higher temperature produce dryer steam and higher pressure, which is more sanitary, provides a deeper clean, kills more germs, and, ultimately, is more efficient. However, these units are more expensive.

· Noise pollution can be a challenge when choosing a steam cleaner. The noise is caused by the pump pulling water through the machine, allowing the water to evaporate into steam. While the noise should get quieter as the pump primes with water, in some cheaper steam cleaner models the noise is still an ear-sore even after the tank is full.
