It is said that the original concept of using steam to clean was first discovered in Europe about 20 years ago when a bar owner used the steam from his cappuccino machine to clean lipstick from a wine Pub Industry will tell you lipstick on a wine glass is very difficult to clean. So when the steam literally vanished the stain in a few seconds the bar owner was amazed. The same bar owner then built the world's first steam cleaner using a water tank, electric water heater and a pressure valve to force out the steam.
A steam carpet cleaner heats up the water inside and works it into the carpet or upholstery to dislodge dirt and other materials. Then, the machine sucks the dirty water back up into the machine, and you dispose of it afterwards.
Vacuum Vs Basic Vs Steam Cleaners
The main difference between vacuum cleaners and steam cleaners is that a vacuum only picks up surface dirt. Steam cleaners get right into fibers, loosening any foreign material and vacuuming the soiled water back into the cleaner to be discarded after use. Your vacuum cleaner will actually perform better after steam cleaning, as the fibers of the carpet will be loosened. Steam cleaners can be used on carpets, floors, vehicles, furniture and many other places that require a deep cleaning. They are perfect for cleaning damp areas in your home, such as the basement, where mold is likely to thrive.
On the other hand, basic steam cleaners use quite a lot of hot - not boiling, water, making it necessary to wait several hours after use for the cleaned surface to dry out. While this method is effective in getting rid of stains, ground in dirt, and mold or parasites, it can prove inconvenient because of the lengthy drying time. Many basic steam cleaners also use chemical-based cleaners in addition to the heated water. Vapor steam cleaners on the other hand superheat the water, creating a true steam cleaning machine.
