Dry steam or vapor systems - "Homeowner's new weapon against dirt and indoor allergens"

August 5, 2004

I asked Sondra Cooley, one of the experts at National Allergy Supply, for help with this. I was excited to see her response. She calls this "the homeowner's new weapon against dirt and indoor allergens." Sondra writes:

"Dry steam or low vapor cleaning systems can be an allergy sufferers best friend. Many models today are easy to use and operate. Systems that have stainless steel tanks and features that are found in many commercial units will last for years.

"Vapor units use the power of super-heated water vapor to clean bathroom tile, porcelain, counter tops and more. The release steam temperature is around 220* and acts as nature's "perfect solvent," dissolving grime, stains, and ground-in dirt from upholstery and carpets without scrubbing.

"The real advantage of using a steam cleaner for allergy sufferers is that no harsh or irritating chemicals are needed to penetrate surface pores for deep cleaning. It also kills bacteria, viruses and even dust mites. Steam vapor cleaners are the homeowner's new weapon against dirt and indoor allergens.
