Dry vapor steam cleaners are different when compared to the standard steam cleaners that many people use to clean their carpets. These machines use dry steam to remove dirt and stains and to also disinfect the areas that they clean. It uses a boiler to heat the water to a high temperature in order to produce the steam to clean the carpets.
The difference between the dry vapor when compared to the standard steam cleaners is the method it uses to clean with. The standard uses hot water and suction power to remove the dirt and stains from the carpet rather then steam. The boiler inside of the machine has the ability to heat the water to an internal temperature set between 150 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. This number will vary depending on the model that you purchase.
One of the biggest advantages to using the dry vapor steam cleaners is the ability it has to clean without the use of any harsh chemicals or cleaners. All it requires to clean upholstery and carpet is tap water. The steam is so hot that it is able to disinfect the area it cleans and disinfect it at the same time. This makes it ideal for people who suffer from allergies or asthma.
Studies show that it has the power to kill off dust mites, viruses, mold, and fungi the moment it comes into contact with them. When the steam hit’s the surface it will immediately begin to evaporate giving it the ability to dry within fifteen minutes and leaving no time for mold to begin growing.
Once you have gone over the area with the dry vapor steam cleaner you can go through it again with your vacuum. It will be much more effective after using this because it has loosened up the dirt for you. This effective machine can be used on both carpets and hard surfaces including, tile, windows, and grout.
The vapor steam cleaners that you use in your home will start around $140 and the commercial models can be as high as $2,000. This price will vary depending on the brand you purchase, how quickly and how hot it can heat the water, and any other features you might want to have.
