Steam Mops

A steam cleaner is a household appliance that utilizes high-temperature steam for deep cleaning and sanitization. Its core mechanism involves an internal heating system that converts water into high-pressure, high-temperature steam (typically exceeding 100°C), which is then expelled through specialized nozzles to physically dissolve grime and deactivate microorganisms. These units typically consist of a detachable handheld main body and multi-functional attachments, allowing them to function as a steam mop for various hard flooring surfaces (e.g., hardwood, tile, laminate) or switch to a handheld mode for cleaning windows, greasy kitchenware, upholstery, and more. The primary target users are households prioritizing chemical-free cleaning, particularly those with infants, pets, or allergy-sensitive members, as the device can effectively remove 99.9% of common bacteria and dust mites without detergents. Based on functionality and design, steam cleaners are categorized into two main types: dedicated steam mops for floors and versatile multi-purpose units. A key precaution is to avoid use on heat-sensitive surfaces like unsealed wood or wax-treated flooring to prevent potential damage from the high-temperature steam.
