Wagner 905 Power Steamer and Cleaner Review

The Wagner Power steamer is a cleaning device that uses the steam pressure to clean surfaces. At 1500 W, it is powerful enough to be used for removing wallpaper from walls. Versatile and multipurpose, the Wagner steamer is very efficient in killing germs and bacteria from the surfaces in a home and also in sanitizing grills. Because it doesn’t use any chemicals for cleaning and disinfecting, it’s safe to be used on items that get in contact with foods like grills or cooking machines. It easily cleans the interior of microwave ovens, which sometimes are difficult because of the small food residues that harden on the walls. Stainless steel kitchen sinks can be cleaned with the steamer, in order to make them shiny and new again. Hot steam is very powerful in removing all calcium residues that accumulate on stainless steel sinks because of the hard water drying on them. Steaming can be very effective on other kitchen fixtures as well. Stoves and iron grates that are a pain to get cleaned don’t put any real problem to a good and powerful steamer. Hardened grease is removed without scrubbing, in less time than with ordinary cleaning solutions. Another place that’s very difficult to clean is the Jacuzzi bath tub. Those tiny nozzles that get clogged with soap scum and residues are not a problem for the hot steam jet power.

Fast and safe, this portable steamer operates only when a button is pushed and maintained, feature which is called the On-Demand fingertip steam control. It has two ways of delivering the steam: continuous jet and intermittent steam.
The steam cleaning accessories that are included in the pack make this machine suitable for multiple cleaning purposes. It has a wallpaper steam plate, a floor cleaner attachment, two extension tubes, window squeegee and a jet nozzle.
Cheaper than the Shark Steam Mop, the Wagner 905 1,500-Watt On-Demand Power Steamer and Cleaner
does practically the same job and instead of having one mop for the floors and another portable steamer for the fixtures, you can now have all of these into one single piece of equipment, which means you can save some storage space, too.

How to Choose a Carpet Steam Cleaner

A good carpet steam cleaner needs to have some characteristics in order to help you clean with ease, just like in those TV commercials for the Ladybug or any other expensive vapor cleaner brand for household purpose. When buying such a cleaner for your carpets for the first time, things are more difficult, because you don't know what features you are after. All you know is your final benefit, which is clean very well, with less effort.

Carpet Steam Cleaner Features and Benefits

The main idea for making an informed choice of a carpet steam cleaning device is to manage to bind benefits to features. Then you see which products incorporate those features, and so choosing the best brand and model will be easier, even if you have to clean those cheap carpet tiles which can be so problematic.

First of all, make yourself a list of benefits you want from your carpet cleaner. It could be something like this:

1. Clean carpets in depth, removing the filth deep inside the carpet texture
2. Have enough autonomy to allow me to clean at least one big carpet without the need to pour more water in the tank
3. Be easy to handle, even by women with less strength in their arms
4. Be easy to store in small spaces
5. Be children-proof, in order to avoid them playing with the vapor power and get burns

Now, that you have your list, let's translate each benefit into product features, or characteristics:

1. Cleaning in depth means more steam power, which means more pressure, which translates into greater electric power.
2. More autonomy requires a bigger water tank
3. Easiness in handling involves the size, shape, or the accessories such as wheels or special nozzles for various cleaning purposes
4. Storing in small places requires tiny size of the carpet steam cleaner, which may contradict the desire to have a big water tank. You have to balance which of these two benefits is more important for your particular case.
5. Children are into all manufacturers' attention, so these vapor cleaners probably have some devices which prevent unattended operation.

Now you can do a web search and make a list of carpet steam cleaner brands and models, then, after your basic needs are fulfilled, you can proceed in buying the cheapest one. If money is not a problem, you can buy the most beautiful one, or the most silent one. Or you can hire a cleaning maid and forget od all the hassle of choosing a carpet steam cleaner.

Industrial Steam Cleaners

Steam cleaners have more than one single purpose, to keep our household clean and free of germs, molds and bacteria. Some of them are industrial. They cannot be compared with Ladybug steam cleaners, they are much more powerful, very big machines which are built for industrial purposes. They can be used, for instance, in factories, where cleaning grease and oil, dissolving hardened resins, degasing or flushing away chemicals are difficult and laborious tasks, which would require lots of manual work, time ans risks if they were to be done by other method than steam cleaning.

Types of Industrial Steam Cleaners

According to the functioning principle, industrial steam cleaners can be fuel fired or all electric. The advantage of the fuel fired steam cleaners is that they can be used in places where there is not possibility of plugging to the electric power network, or places where there is no electricity available at all. They can have alternate electrical supply and they are heavy-duty constructions, with stainless steel water tanks, frames and heating coils. They operate at much higher pressure than the commercial steam cleaners, and at temperatures of 320-380 F (160-175 C). The steam pressure of industrial cleaning devices falls within the range of 10 atm. Their water tank can accommodate 2.5 - 10 l of water, and they are explosion proof. Cleaning and sterilizing floors, tiles, catering equipment, kitchens, or even freezers can be done using such steam cleaners, without the need of any disinfectants or other chemicals which may leave traces and poison the food during its processing.

As you can see, there are many industries where disinfection and hygienically cleaning are needed, and steam cleaners can provide that at very high standards.

Why Steam Cleaners Are Good For Allergy Sufferers

As their name says, steam cleaners, or vapor cleaners, clean surfaces by using the steam force to dislocate and remove even hardened, or thick dirt. The operation principle is simple: the water in a tank gets heated to the boiling point, then it evaporates. The steam collected at the surface is directed through a nozzle against the surface we want to clean. Reaching the surface, the steam blows away the dirt and the vapors condensate on the surface, transforming themselves into water again. In order to prevent dried water stains of the cleaned surface, you can wipe it with some cloth.

The Hidden Benefit of Steam Cleaners

More than just removing the dirt, steam cleaners have an an additional benefit: the steam jet destroys also dust mites, mold, mildew, bacteria, germs and other micro-organisms which live on the surfaces in our households, and which can trigger allergic reactions in some people who are more sensitive to them. Those are the allergy sufferers, who can benefit from a better air quality and a life free of allergy symptoms, if they use steam cleaners in their living spaces.

Scientists have shown that there are millions of micro-organisms living around us, everywhere: in our bed lining, in our pillows, on our toilet seats, on our kitchen table, in the carpets, in the upholstery of our armchairs and sofas. Everywhere, there are lost of tiny, invisible creatures which are usually harmless and live in good peace with humans. Unfortunately, in some people, they are perceived as enemies, making the immune system attack them, in order to eliminate them from the body. This is the case of allergy sufferers, and this is why that can feel and react to things that we even don't suspect that exist. This is why, using steam cleaners instead of simply vacuuming the surfaces, those small particles and organisms are destroyed, so the allergic persons immune system don't have to fight anymore.

How Steam Cleaners Save You Money

Were you curious to see how much you spend on household cleaning products each year? I'll show you how home steam cleaners can save you money for an extra vacation every year. Looking through a common household, I counted the following cleaning products: floor cleaning solution, scouring cream, windows washer, bathroom and kitchen tiles cleaner, toilet gel, dishwasher detergent, furniture cleaner solution, carpet cleaner, upholstery cleaning soap. There are more or less 10 products for cleaning the house and the accessories. What if we could replace all those with water? Water, but not plain, cold water. We can use water in the shape of steam, we can unleash the power of pressurized steam, which can easily dislocate hardened dirt even from hardly accessible places.

Steam cleaners operate on a very simple principle: the water in a tank gets heated thanks to electric power, getting to the boiling point, thus turning into vapors. The steam is directed under pressure via a nozzle, on the surface to be cleaned. After hitting the surface, the steam turns back into water and this can be easily wiped with a soft cloth, in order to prevent water stains formation. When cleaning upholstery or other textile materials, this step isn't necessary, as the steam cleaner comes with a special head for upholstery, with three nozzles covered by a cloth glove.

You can use steam cleaners on various surfaces, from tiles, grout, linoleum, or wooden floors to upholstery, vehicle interiors, ovens, cooking machines, bathtubs or even pieces of furniture, carpets or clothing garments. After you pay for the device, all you have to do is supply it with tap water, which is the cheapest cleaning solution one can get. Considering an average 5 years lifetime for common steam cleaners, we can save as much as $600-$800 in not buying expensive cleaning products. Maybe it is not enough for a vacation, but it surely is for a long weekend. Relax and thank steam cleaners for the money.

How To Clean Carpets With Steam Cleaners

Cleaning a rug or a carpet is a difficult task, because of the lack of an appropriate space for doing this operation. First of all, if you want to leave the carpet in place and clean it there, carpet steam cleaners, be them Ladybug or other brand, can be the best solution for not soaking the carpet wet and make it wear out before its time. Taking the carpet to a specialized carpet cleaner company can prove to be complicated, and many times it is quite expensive. Besides, you may never know what happens to your carpets during the cleaning process, You may have the surprise of getting them spoiled by chemicals or by inappropriate drying conditions.

Advantages of carpets steam cleaning

The biggest advantage of steam cleaning the carpets is that you can remove the dirt which has been collected deeply on the carpet fibers, where you cannot reach with a brush or with a sponge, not to mention the vacuum cleaner, which is useless in such cases. Carpet steaming services are usually expensive because cleaning companies use professional carpet steamers which are crazy expensive, and they need to get profitable. If you have children or pets, and you need to clean your carpets every 2-3 months, you can think of buying your own carpet steam cleaner, either new or used. The models range is wide, so you can choose a cheaper one, if your budget is small. Specialized carpet steam cleaners usually include a recipient for soap, which mixes in the steam jet, for better cleaning in depth, and removing all filth even from thick carpets.

If you need to steam clean the carpets only once in a while, you may find it better to rent a cleaning machine. Usually, rentals are per day, so you'll benefit from clean carpets and pay only a tiny fraction of the cost of a new carpet steam cleaning machine.

Due to the fact that the carpet remains a bit wet after steaming, you need to ventilate the rooms very well for several hours after the operation, so they can get dry. Never place the furniture on wet carpets, because you are going to ruin them, and you are in danger of mold accumulations under the furniture, thus endangering your health.

The steam cleaning process must start by vacuuming the carpets very well, in order to remove any loose dirt. Then you can use a stain cleaner to get rid of visible stains, and only after that pass over the carpet with the steam cleaner. In this way, you avoid the carpet getting too wet, by limiting the amount of hot vapors that turn back into water on the carpet's surface.
