Canister Steam Cleaners

canister steam cleaner

Canister steam cleaners are all in one machines that can be used for floor cleaning, as well as other areas around your home.

They come with different attachments making it easier to clean areas around your home such as your bathroom, shower, walls, windows, kitchens and much more. You might hear these referred to as home steam cleaners or all purpose steam cleaners, as well as terms like multi use, or multipurpose.

Whatever you want to call it, a canister steamer is my preferred choice over a steam mop, particularly for larger homes. They have more attachments, hold larger volumes of water and will run for longer. You can use these for a complete home clean without using chemicals.

Using heat and steam is an effective way of cleaning hard surfaces around your home, and refreshing fabrics, upholstery and carpets. Steam is less effective on heavily built up soap scum and hard water stains. You may need to use scrubbers or repeated steaming to get this buildup off.
