A steam washer is a great addition to any home. They provide faster and deeper cleaning, kill bacteria, allergens, and even remove tough stains. Here are just four ways that using a steam setting on your washing machine can help you get cleaner, fresher, and better-looking clothes.
Use a steam cycle to deep clean athletic gear and get rid of smells.
If you have an athlete in your family, then you know what a challenge it can be trying to keep their gear clean and smelling fresh. This is where the steam setting really shines! A lot of athletic gear, such as pads and socks, can be notoriously hard to clean. Toss these items in on a steam setting to kill any bacteria in the fabric and then lay out to dry completely.
Steam washers can remove allergens from clothing.
With allergy season upon us it’s important to keep your home free of allergens; this includes your clothing. Regular wash settings for clothing only heat the water to about 55 degrees Celsius while steam settings can get over 93 degrees Celsius, more than enough for sanitizing and to get rid of any germs or allergens!
Sanitize pillows, blankets, duvets, and other bulky loads.
It can be very difficult to clean your pillows and blankets, either from your bed or off the couch. One way to make this task easier is by using steam to kill bacteria and odors without having to put those bulky items through a whole wash setting; just be sure to dry these items thoroughly afterwards. Steam cleaning is also a great way to kill any dust mites, bugs or bacteria that might make it into your home.
Easily remove stains from clothes.
Steam settings are great for removing tough stains from clothing and other fabrics; the added heat opens the fibers in your material and allows the stains to be lifted out easily.
Steam washers have been around for about 20 years now and the technology has improved to offer reduced energy consumption, faster cleaning, unparalleled levels of sanitization and of course fewer wrinkles!
