Steam vacuum cleaners 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.

A High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter is made up of a lightweight frame that supports the microfibre filter, which is pleated to provide a large filtering surface. Dust particles, mites and pollen suspended in the air that pass through the filter are caught and filtered out to ensure they don’t go back into the room. Due to their high efficiency, HEPA or EPA filters fall under the “absolute filter” category. They can filter out between 85% and 99.995% of particles, depending on what type they are.

Sometimes high suction power just doesn’t get the job done. Human and pet hair, for example, get caught between fabric fibres, making it much harder to clean. The mechanical action of the bristles on the turbo brush (or the mini turbo brush) separate carpet and upholstery fibres, allowing the suction to penetrate deeper and remove dirt and grime better.

The advantage of bagless appliances is that you don’t have to worry about getting spare bags, which means more money in your pocket and a smaller environmental impact. What’s more, it is much simpler and more practical to maintain bagless vacuum cleaners because the container can be emptied right into the bin when full.
