I never new what a steam cleaner was until I saw one on an infomercial one night. This type of a cleaner is sort of like a new toy for a big kid because now I was going to be able to clean with steam. What a cool concept and one that the infomercial made very appealing. I mean, I always cleaned my sink and toilets and other things but I never got them “steam” cleaned. Being able to clean them so that they were sanitary enough to eat off of was something that sounded very exciting.On the TV spot they showed the steam coming out of the nozzle and decimating the dirt, just ripping it off the counters and sinks. It was truly spectacular how easy and fun it looked.
In reality though, the steam was just a little trickle that did very little to do away with the dirt. Even after setting it to the highest setting, it did very little to clean my sink’s surface. I assumed I was doing something wrong but no matter what I did, the cleaner failed to clean. It made me confuse.
Steam can actually help clean things if it is harnessed correctly. It is common in carpet cleaning machines and can be used effectively to sanitize your carpets. But the handheld steam cleaner I got in the mail certainly wasn’t a machine that could clean anything. It serves me right for my weak late night moment of watching infomercials.
