Steam Vapor Cleaning Vs Traditional Cleaning Methods
Traditional cleaning methods is a method of cleaning using chemical solutions which are toxic. Even eco-friendly solutions are generally toxic and has hazardous warning labels on the bottles. Steam cleaning utilizes pressurized steam vapor at 248-300+ degrees to clean surfaces and presents absolutely no toxic hazards. Pressurized steam vapor according to a Washington University study gets surfaces more than 10 cleaner than traditional cleaning methods. This graph shows the results of bacterial contaminates measured on a petri dish cultured at 99 degrees for 48 hours (2 days) after being cleaned by pressurized steam vapor measured in seconds of exposure to steam.

Traditional cleaning solutions may present harmful hazards in several ways:
1. Oral consumption: Toxic residues left on surfaces may contaminate food being prepared on a previous cleaned surface. Pets may lick surfaces previously cleaned with toxic cleaners.
2. Skin contact: Toxic residues may cause rashes, itchy skin, or even burns when it comes in contact with skin.
3. Fumes: May represent a hazard to lungs and other internal organs. Even the scents used to camouflage odious chemical orders may be toxic. If you can smell it, the possibility of hazardous damage from toxins exists. Pets have the uncontrollable urge to sniff odors in the air.
4. Toxic particles: Toxic particles may be suspended in air for several hours after a cleaning solution has been sprayed for anyone to inhale deep into their lungs that enters the area. Like fumes these microscopic particles may cause damage to lungs and other internal organs and once again pets, via their uncontrollable nature, are even more vulnerable to these toxins. Cleaners who have regularly used cleaning sprays over 20 years were found to have reduced lung function equivalent to smoking 20 cigarettes a day over the same period, a UiB-study shows.Feb 16, 2018
Ingredients commonly found in traditional cleaners:
-
Chlorine: A strong oxidizing agent that can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. It can cause respiratory problems, skin irritation, and allergic reactions.
-
Ammonia: A strong alkaline compound that can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It can also release toxic fumes when mixed with certain other chemicals.
-
Phenols: A group of chemicals that are used as disinfectants and can be harmful if ingested or inhaled. They can cause respiratory problems and skin irritation.
-
Sodium hydroxide: A strong alkaline compound that can cause skin irritation and burns. It is often used in drain cleaners and oven cleaners.
-
Triclosan: An antimicrobial chemical that is used in some household cleaners and personal care products. It has been linked to hormonal disruptions and antibiotic resistance.

And much more…
Steam vapor is not only more effective and efficient at eliminating biological contaminates than traditional cleaning methods, it has broader use capabilities. Steam vapor under pressure can power into nooks and crannies a chemical spray solution can not. Ex. Toilet seat hinges, faucets, shower heads, jetted tubs, etc… Steam vapor also may be used where traditional cleaning methods should not be used. Ex. to sanitize luffas, sponges etc. even shampoo bottles etc.
