Steam cleaning FAQs

Steam cleans through three “physical” characteristics: water, temperature and pressure that, together, allow you to eliminate grease and dirt from every corner of your home. WATER: steam is made up of water molecules which bind to dirt molecules on contact and start to “soften them”. TEMPERATURE: the steam is delivered at such a temperature so as to be able to separate and dissolve the most stubborn dirt and grease and destroy any bacteria at the same time. PRESSURE: the pressure definitely “detaches” dirt from the surfaces. You’ll merely have to collect it with a cloth or vacuum it.

With the Polti Vaporetto, you can clean quicker and the results last longer because you dissolve and collect dirt much more easily compared to other systems. What’s more, clean, degreased and sanitised surfaces do not attract dust and new dirt, so they remain cleaner for longer. A single product that reaches everywhere, cleanly and without the need for constant changes. With the Polti Vaporetto, you can get rid of all the tools you usually use to clean your home, which need to be washed, rinsed, retrieved from their place and put back in order: sponges, brooms, dustpans, buckets, mops, cloths, brushes, cobweb dusters, feather dusters, carpet beaters, squeegees, ladders for high surfaces, detergents suitable for various surfaces, and so on and so forth - all gone! What's more, the power of steam dissolves dirt easily, without the need to scrub and so entailing less effort.
