It is never a bad idea for you to steam clean your floors. Water can be a powerful cleaning aid that can easily remove germs once the temperature reaches 175 degrees Fahrenheit. Many household steam cleaners that are available to rent or to buy can reach temperatures that are even higher than that. Plus, taking advantage of steam cleaning can minimize or eliminate the need to use harsh chemicals around your home!
We are knowledgeable about the benefits of steam cleaning because this is the method that we personally use at The Grout Medic of Colorado Springs. We know why steam cleaning is a great addition to any cleaning schedule, but we want you to know how you can safely use steam without damaging your flooring.
For example, you want to avoid steaming wood or laminate types of flooring. You should also avoid steam cleaning vinyl plank flooring. Both wood flooring and vinyl plank flooring can have gaps in between seams. Because of this, you may end up causing warping or swelling if you choose to steam clean these types of floors. You may notice that there are some manufacturers that say that it is not dangerous to steam clean these types of floors on a low setting, but many experts will disagree. In order to protect your investment, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Steam mops work by using pressure and heat to force the steam into the nooks and crannies of any given surface. As a rule, it is safe for you to clean any floor that does not have any gaps and cracks. Tile floors are great examples of a type of flooring that can be steam cleaned.
Overall, enlisting the help of a steam cleaner will provide you with excellent results! With it, you will be able to kill the germs that are lurking in your floors and around your home.
