US $142.48
When using a carpet steam cleaner to clean your home, car or RV you can be sure that you are doing some deep cleaning. Fortunately, using steam to clean carpets, upholstery and other surfaces is easy. The high temperature of the steam actually does most of the work. After the steam penetrates the surfaces, the steam cleaner will vacuum the debris up. Some surfaces will require a wipe down with a dry cloth to pick up any residual dirt, but the energy that you will expend by doing that is still much less than you would have spent by not using a steam cleaner at all.
Steam is a natural cleaner, deodorizer and sanitizer. The higher the temperature of the steam, the more bacteria and allergens it will kill. Steam cleaning carpets will remove many types of allergens. Some of these allergens include pet dander, fleas and their larvae and the ever present dust mites. All of these are known allergens that affect a large part of the population. Using a steam cleaner to get rid of the offending substances can result in a better quality of life, at least from an allergy stand point!
Some steam cleaners can heat water almost instantaneously; others take longer to get to their boiling points. Many of them will have a sensor that will tell you when they’re ready to be used. It should be noted that some steam cleaners have a will heat the steam to a higher temperature than others.
Most carpet steam cleaners can multi-task, which means they can be used on hard surfaces as well. Bathroom tile, tub enclosures, behind the toilet and other types of flooring can all benefit from a good steam cleaning. Many steam cleaners do not require any extra cleaning solutions, because it is the steam that actually sanitizes the surfaces.

The ProHeat 2X line can rid stains in carpet, even set in stains that have been there for a while. These particular machines can use chemicals, including a pre treater and a cleaning solution. Working slowly and thoroughly is the key when using a steam cleaner. The ProHeat 2X line comes with numerous accessories and tools, so that you can use the best ones for your carpets.
Shark Steam Cleaners are also versatile cleaning tools. Shark actually makes two different versions of a steam mop. Neither one use any chemicals, just hot water and steam. They can be used on many different types of hard surfaces, including hardwoods, laminate flooring and tile. A steam mop is a great way to get rid of bacteria, especially in high traffic places. The floors usually dry quite quickly afterwards, there is no need to wait for hours to walk on them.
Using a carpet steam cleaner is much more of a deep cleansing process than vacuuming alone. Even traditional vacuum cleaners can’t get rid of all the bacteria and other things that are lurking in your carpet. Using a steam cleaner can not only rid your house of unpleasant allergens and odors, it can also restore a carpet’s appearance!
