A '''steam cleaner''' or [[steamers|Steamer]] is a household appliance that is used for sanitizing and steam cleaning surfaces without chemicals and only with the use of water. It loosens dirt and grime to enable an easier cleaning. A steam cleaner is not recommended for all surfaces, only sealed surfaces that can take heat and moisture.  During the steaming process, a heating element boils the water in the reservoir and as the trigger is pressed, steam is produced. A steamer can be used with or without cleaning tools and accessories.

A steamer can be used with or without cleaning tools and accessories.
 
Vapor steam cleaners or steam vapor systems are cleaning appliances or devices that use steam to quickly dry, clean, and sanitize inanimate surfaces. Often the process is effective enough to disinfect or even sterilize the surfaces. The steam is produced in a boiler that heats tap water to high temperatures (240-310F/115-155C) to produce low-pressure (several atmospheres), low moisture (4 to 6% water) water vapor (steam).
 
The steam's ability to clean is based primarily on its heat. The steam is applied to cleanable surfaces via a variety of insulated tools and accessories, thereby safely providing the energy needed to break soil bonds and release contaminants into water suspension, after which they can be removed by wiping or vacuuming.
 
This process uses very little water (usage is measured in quarts per hour) compared to carpet cleaners or other cleaning devices (whose usage is measured in gallons per minute), which use hot water instead of steam and are incorrectly called "steam cleaners".
 
The inherent low-moisture characteristics of vapor steam cleaners make them suitable for use inside buildings and residences.
 
There are several manufacturers of vapor steam cleaners, with products ranging from higher-end industrial products to inexpensive consumer models.
 
Vapor steam cleaners are cited as examples of green cleaning since they do not require the use of chemical cleaning solutions. They are growing in popularity because of steam vapor's ability to kill germs and in some cases disinfect without the use of chemical disinfectants. Steam vapor has also been cited as effective in killing dust mites in carpet, bedding, and upholstery. Additionally, dry steam vapor has shown to be effective for killing bed bugs and their eggs when reaching temperatures of 150-170 degrees.
 
In 2005, the University of Washington tested a steam vapor system in restrooms and reported labor savings and hygienic improvements over previous methods.
 
Vapor steam cleaners are frequently used in hypoallergenic environments because they do not require the use of additional cleaning chemicals, which results in better indoor air quality and eliminates the need to handle or store cleaning agents. Steam has been shown effective in combating mold, bacteria, viruses, and other forms of biocontamination.

==Why steam cleaners==
==Video==
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 glass. As anyone in the pub Industry will tell you lipstick on a wine glass is very difficult to clean so the bar owner was amazed when the steam literally vanished the stain in a few seconds.

To cut a long story short the bar owner then built the worlds first steam cleaner using basic materials such as a water tank, electric and a pressure valve to force out the steam. The results were amazing and he soon had the cleanest bar in town.
 
Today more than 3 million steam cleaners have been sold across Europe. Ecosteam machines are also sold in America and Japan.
There are numerous advantages to steam cleaning over traditional methods of cleaning. These are the big 3:
 
 
===A Higher Standard Of Cleaning=== 
A steam cleaner works by using ordinary tap water to produce superheated dry steam. The temperature and power of this dry steam means that almost any area can be cleaned and sanitised and brought back to its original condition with minimal time and effort.
The Ecosteam machines will cut through any dirt, grime, grease and chemical film to give amazing cleaning results. All bacteria is killed and all surfaces are left dry.
 
 
===Save Money===
Using the Ecosteam range of machines will save you a lot of money off your annual cleaning spend:
*No more costly chemicals to buy
*Never again buy mops, buckets and other traditional cleaning tools
*Save money normally spent on annual kitchen & cooker deep cleans
*Save money on refurbishing as all surfaces will be brought back to new
*Do your own cleaning and save money on costly contract cleaners




===Improve your Health and the Environment===
==Source==
All Ecosteam machines are proven to kill 98% of dust mites and neutralise their allergens so using our steam cleaners can really help asthma and allergy sufferers. Mattresses are where dust mites live and breed. Using your Ecosteam these can be cleaned in seconds killing all dust mites and leaving your mattress instantly dry.

Allergy and asthma sufferers will also benefit from the Ecosteam using only ordinary tap water and therefore leaving no chemical residue, which can trigger an allergic reaction.
