In a bid to create more eco-friendly and healthier homes for our families, we say goodbye (and good riddance) to harsh cleaning chemicals and hello to the power of steam. Whether you are suffering from allergies or constantly trying to get rid of pesky odours, steam cleaning will help you get fresh and germ-free results. Here are three major benefits to going the steamy route:
- Hygienic: Steam penetrates surface pores, removing dirt, debris, bacteria, and other tiny elements with hot vapour molecules. These vapour molecules are so hot, they kill up to 99% of bacteria including E. Coli and Salmonella. It will also help in dealing with odors, mold, mildew, grease and grime. For this reason, you ideally want your dishwasher to work with steam in order to get the cleanest results. Pure water particles of steam also help minimise those annoying water spots by more than 30%. Product tip: LG QuadWash™ Steam Dishwasher
- Allergy buster: Sneezing, coughing and itchy eyes are often caused by allergens such as dust mites. These airborne allergens can easily get into your clothes and linen and can trigger allergic reactions almost instantly. Opt for a washing machine with a steam function (we love the LG Vivace Front Loading Washing Machine) for a deep clean that will help rid fabrics of allergens.
- Environmentally and pocket friendly: There is no need to use chemicals when you are cleaning with steam, so you’ll save on buying expensive cleaning products while reducing your plastic bottle and packaging waste.
