Hand Held Steam Cleaner

A hand held steam cleaner brings the cleaning power and efficiency of steam cleaning anywhere in your home as well as in your car.

Handheld steam cleaners combine the efficiency and power of steam cleaning with portability and ease of use.

You can use these compact devices in compact areas or for small jobs for which a full size device would be uneconomical.

For example, if you've just cleaned your house and your prized poodle has made a mess in the corner. You know you've got to get rid of that stain as soon as possible but don't think it worthwhile to fire up your big steam cleaner.

Or perhaps the stain is half way up the stairs. It's difficult to get your cleaner up there even with hoses and attachments.

The answer in both cases is to use a hand held steam cleaner. And that's not all. You can use it out on your grill or in your car to get rid of that stubborn oil and grease.

Hand held or portable steam cleaners come in many forms.

Some resemble power drills or the ray guns used in old sci-fi movies.

Others look like jugs. These are cheap, compact and easily stored away. On the other hand, steam pressure is necessarily low and the boiler capacity is limited meaning you can only use them for short periods typically up to ten minutes maximum.

Despite their compact dimensions, they're not short on cleaning power. You could use one to clean up your shower tiles and the grout in between. The powerful steam they produce can blast away mold and mildew and leave your bathroom fresh, sparkling and hygienic.

They also work well in your kitchen on ovens and stoves.

Like standard steam cleaners you can buy hand held items in both the types that use cleaning agents and those that really only on steam. You'll need to consider your needs to choose the right type for you. If you just want one for cleaning carpets then the standard type will do. But for heavier jobs involving grease or deep stains or hard surfaces then you'll need the steam vapor type.

Whatever type you go for, a hand held steam cleaner is one of the best investments you can make to keep your home fragrant, clean and hygienic.
