Oh Yes You Can! Spring Clean Like The Pros!
Hello Everyone,
As many of you know, I run my own house cleaning business. Last week we began filling our schedule with our
special Spring House Cleaning packages for customers. This is a very popular package and we always have more
requests for it than we can provide. Heres some of our insider information on what we do that you can apply to
your own spring cleaning efforts.
First of all,
use a vapor steam cleaner. Unlike many "steam cleaners" on
the market, vapor steam cleaners use dry steam to clean without the use of chemicals. The heat of the steam penetrates
the pores of any material being cleaned, so that the dry steam instantly kills dust mites, viruses, molds, and fungi.
The lack of chemicals makes vapor steam cleaners attractive as a cleaning method for homes with allergy sufferers.
Second,
There are many cleaning tasks that vapor steam cleaners
can tackle better than any other method, but they are not intended for every cleaning project. In fact, there are
some materials that vapor steamers can damage.
Decide what youll use it on. Here are some of the things that can be cleaned successfully with a vapor steam cleaner:
Upholstery, carpets, clothing.
Damp areas in the bath, basement, or kitchen where mold spores can grow.
Vehicle interiors -- upholstery, carpet, and infant seats.
Tile and grout.
Air conditioning vents, returns and ducts.
Stove tops, oven hoods, and inside the microwave.
Barbecue grills.
Sinks and faucets.
Wood paneling, decks, and outdoor furniture.
Stuffed animals.
Mirrors and windows.
Third, many vapor steam cleaners look like vacuum cleaners, but they do not vacuum
at all. What they do is loosen the dirt and debris from the material. Most cleaners come with brushes and clothes to clean up
the debris after it is loosened, for example, from a hard surface like a countertop.
