Effect of steam on mites, fleas and other insects

Steamers do not use chemicals so they are perfect for cleaning all surfaces, both indoors and outdoors.

These steam cleaners only use water and high temperature to create a very powerful natural steam in disinfection capacity, being able to exterminate bacteria and germs, kill fleas and mites that may form in the bed. They are also effective at removing dust and pulling dirt from heat sensitive surfaces.

The steam is chemical-free and allows you to clean the home in a natural and ecological way without compromising a deep cleaning.

How does steam kill?

There is no other more efficient method of killing mites, viruses and bacteria than steam cleaning. The high temperatures of the steam make it an antibacterial agent. This method has shown that bacteria begin to die when exposed to temperatures of 120 ° C. Steam cleaning allows it to penetrate the pores of fabrics and other hard surfaces, removing contaminants and chemical residues from those surfaces.

Mites

Some little tips if you want to disinfect the home is to start at the top and work towards the back of the room. Take your time using the steam, use the steam cleaner no more than 5 centimeters away from the surface to be cleaned, and try to move it slowly, at about two centimeters per second. This method allows you to take full advantage of the steamer's ability to kill any harmful items that come your way.

In places where you've used chemicals previously, steam can “break down” these chemicals, so be aware that this could affect the air quality in your home. If you need chemical cleaners to supplement steam then make sure to apply them after using the steamer. Vacuuming before using the steam cleaner increases the effectiveness of the steam cleaner.

Using a Steam Cleaner to Kill Germs, Bacteria and Viruses
The high temperatures of the steam kill bacteria, viruses and germs virtually on contact. The air is free of harmful toxins, leaving the home hygienically clean and safe for the family. Germs and bacteria can be found anywhere in the home and can spread between people, on surfaces, and come back again. These polluting surfaces, especially floors, can be home to any number of strains; including Salmonella, Listeria, MRSA, and E. Coli. Cleaning surfaces with chemicals can work well in killing germs and bacteria but can leave behind harmful residue.

Removing mold with steam

Mold is a problem in most homes and is especially a common phenomenon in the bathroom. Hot water from the shower or tub causes vaporization. This, combined with the increase in temperature in the room, generates high levels of humidity.Remove-mold-with-steam

Mold is not only unpleasant to look at but can also have negative health effects in the medium and long term. One of the most efficient and healthy methods to remove it is to use steam pressure on the surfaces. In the most affected areas, chemicals may need to be used for a few minutes to aid removal, then supplemented with steam and if mold scrapes away. There we can clean the waste with a dry cloth or cloth.

Killing Fleas with Steam

To avoid fleas in your home, you must make sure that your pet receives regular flea treatment. Unfortunately, there is always the possibility that they will be picked up from other animals, especially during the warmer months, bringing fleas home. Therefore, cleaning on a regular basis will eliminate this problem.dog-with-fleas

Most of the flea life cycle happens in your pet's space, so treating your home as well as treating your pet is vital. The high temperatures of the steam cleaners will kill the fleas, their eggs and their larvae, leaving your home clean without using harsh chemicals, and will help eliminate the odors of our animals (the odors are caused by bacteria and microorganisms).

Before applying the steam it is advisable to vacuum the carpets. The vibration encourages the adult fleas to emerge and the suction will remove the eggs, larvae, and some of the dust. Afterwards, the steam will take effect. The heat and moisture from the steam could stimulate any remaining eggs that could survive to hatch a day or two after cleaning, so some fleas could reappear. It is therefore interesting to spray with a flea preparation after cleaning.

Use the steam cleaner to disinfect our bed

Steam is a very effective method of killing insects that live in and under beds at all stages of their development. Our mattress is an ideal place for those bugs.

When you go to steam, try to use a wide ejection head to ensure that you kill the insects in a single pass. Using a small or concentrated head will make them scatter and will not kill them right away.Dirt-mattress

Using hot steam will only kill insects that are exposed to that heat, so any insects that do not come into contact will survive. Therefore the procedure must be repeated a couple of times to ensure that all insects have been removed. Steamers direct lethal temperatures directly to where insects are hiding. A suitable nozzle can reach about 5 centimeters into the cracks and grooves to eliminate insects; Applying it to fabrics can reach up to 2 centimeters. It is important to use a low pressure nozzle, rather than using a thinner one that generates more force, to prevent insects being blown away, allowing them to survive.

To kill the insects effectively, the surface temperature of the mattress should be between 70 and 80 degrees after applying the steam. You can finish this process by applying a mild insecticide to ensure 100% cleaning.

Eradicating Dust Mites with Steam

The steam will reduce the dust mite population on your mattresses and carpets. Regular steam cleaning followed by good vacuuming to collect allergenic debris will make a significant difference in the quality of the air in your home and consequently improve the health of your family. With regular use of a steamer, you can remove dust mites from mattresses, pillows, and upholstery, as well as reduce allergic reactions such as asthma.

The proliferation of mites can be reduced considerably by cleaning your carpets with a steam cleaner. A study in Glasgow, Scotland, found a decrease of almost 90% in the concentration of mites per gram of dust in carpets after they had been steam cleaned.
