Steam cleaners are considered superheroes for households due to their ability to deliver deep-cleaning results on a variety of surfaces, including furniture upholstery and various types of flooring. These appliances rely solely on steam instead of chemical products or cleaning solutions when performing disinfection and cleansing tasks.
Will Cotter, COO of Happy Cleans states that the application of high-temperature steam can exterminate allergens, germs and bacteria effectively without requiring any aggressive chemicals. He further adds that steam cleaners are an ideal choice for wiping out stubborn grease, grime or stains from kitchens and bathrooms as well as outdoor areas considering their efficacy.
In order to discover the optimal steam cleaners for a variety of scenarios, we conducted assessments on 6 different models in our laboratory. Our evaluations focused primarily on each cleaner’s stain-removal capabilities across various surfaces and its versatility, portability, noise level and overall value. Additionally, four cleaning experts provided their suggestions for some preferred steam cleaners to complement our analysis. Along with taking into account these testing results as well as recommendations from professionals within the field, distinctions between canister-, mop-, or handheld-style cleaners were also factored in alongside any accompanying attachments that may be found among them while compiling this list.
