Who needs 25 ways to clean with steam? I think we could all use these tips and tricks to clean house with fewer chemicals. I like using the HomeRight Steam Machine to make steam for cleaning my home. It uses pressurized, high temperature, steam to loosen and dissolve dirt, grease, grime, and kill bacteria. Its many uses include; kitchen countertops, ovens, stovetops, bathroom fixtures, and barbecue grills.
NOTE: Be sure to test on an inconspicuous area before cleaning. Only use on sealed surfaces that can take high heat and moisture. Follow all safety precautions that come with the steam cleaner.
