How Environmentally Friendly Floor Cleaners Keep Homes Clean And Chemical-Free

Americans used to think that keeping their house clean required using harsh chemicals. Even if the cleaning solutions smelled bad, caused children to have health issues, and hurt the environment, there didn't seem to be a better way. Those who tried to promote environmentally friendly floor cleaners and other products were thought of as strange or people who cared more about a tree than having a germ-free home. Times have changed, and so have cleaning products. Now environmentally friendly floor cleaners, like the steam mop, actually work very well without using strong chemicals to get the job done.

Consumers today can say farewell to that dirty mop and choose from a variety of other cleaning methods that won't harm the environment or their family. From lightweight machines that squirt out a solution onto a disposable pad to steam cleaning products that run only on water, the choices are numerous. A steam mop is the ideal solution for cleansing hardwood floors and other surfaces like tile and high quality laminate.

Protect Loved Ones With Environmentally Friendly Floor Cleaners

Since water is all that's required, steam mops are safe for children and family pets. Cleaning agents that use chemicals evaporate while the surface is drying and may gather in the air. This can contaminate the air in your home, especially if the room is not well ventilated, the temperature is hot and humid, or the room is damp. Indoor air pollution can cause children to have headaches, asthma attacks, irritated eyes, congestion, sneezing, coughing, fatigue, and nausea. If little ones have asthma or allergies, strong chemical cleaners can aggravate their conditions and cause them great discomfort. However, environmentally friendly floor cleaners utilize natural formulas.  Water is the only substance that will be released onto floors. By smelling only the scent of a dirt-free environment instead of pungent odors, children can breathe easily and deeply, knowing that the air they are taking in is pure.

Benefits Of A Steam Mop

This environmentally friendly floor cleanser works on all hard floor surfaces, not just hardwood alone. Tile, quality laminates, and other sealed surfaces can be sanitized using vapors. Grimy surfaces in kitchens, living rooms, bathrooms, entryways, and every other room in the house can be renewed with a steam mop. Although environmentally friendly floor cleaners successfully clean hard surfaces with ease, they should not be used on carpet. Steam cleaning is ideal for hard surfaces, but is not a good solution for carpet. Steam will remove dust mites and bacteria from carpet, but will leave stains behind.

Along with being harmless to health and adaptable to various surfaces, steam mops are environmentally safe. With all-natural ingredients, water and heat, no toxins are discharged into the air. In decades past, everyone quickly brought out the bleach to get mildew out of tile grout. Store owners used strong chemicals to clean public bathrooms and eliminate those spreading germs. While these ways of cleaning definitely got the job done, pungent odors lingered. In most cases, individuals began coughing or had a hard time breathing while around the freshly cleaned area. If the contaminated water that was used to clean was continuously dumped into a water supply, the harmful effects spread even farther. Toxins released into the air by strong cleaners decrease air quality. However, environmentally friendly floor cleaners use no chemicals or harsh solutions. Only one of the most natural resources, water, is needed to operate a steam mop. This type of product eliminates any environmental harm and sanitizes a surface as it picks up grime and debris left behind.

Chemical Cleaners Effect Pets

Surface cleaners that require ammonia can actually cause dogs or cats to wet the surface more frequently. Since a dog's sense of smell is a hundred times stronger than a human's, it will be drawn to an area by scent. A primary ingredient in pet urine is ammonia. Therefore, if a dog or cat smells ammonia on the clean area, it will want cover it with their own scent. Encouraged by the smell, a pet will think it's a natural place to urinate. Instead of using ammonia to clean, prevent this frustration by using a steam mop that will only leave a fragrance of clean air behind. With water as the only necessary ingredient, an environmentally friendly floor cleaner will not only be safe for families but will keep pets from having accidents in the house as well.

Description

BISSELL 1867A Steam Mop¿ Hard Floor Cleaner for an all natural chemical-free clean. Steam Mop has quick release cord wrap with slim, lightweight design. 100% Chemical-free product with steam on demand.

Ideal for the chemically sensitive or those with small children, the Bissell Steam Mop deep-cleans hard-surface floors using the power of pure water alone. No harsh (or expensive) cleaners means no fumes or residues to irritate lungs or muddy delicate finishes, while the use of hot steam rather than buckets of water leaves floors dry in just seconds. Heated and ready to use in 30 seconds, the remarkably quiet mechanism works something like an iron: steam is dispensed on demand, rather than continuously, by pressing the trigger while passing the mop over the floor. Hot steam easily removes hardened and sticky gunk, especially if the mop sits over the mess for a few seconds. (Leave it in place 15 seconds to actually sanitize the cleaning surface.) The machine steams for approximately 15 minutes before the tank needs to be refilled, but there's no lag once you refill it. The Steam Mop's low-profile 360-degree swiveling head accesses hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, like under kitchen cabinets, while its compact profile stores easily in small spaces. Other thoughtful design touches include a quick-release cord wrap and easy-carry handle, as well as a built-in water filter to protect from the minerals and impurities in hard water. (An indicator lets users know when the filter need to be replaced.) Durable, reusable microfiber pads are safe on all sealed hard surfaces and clean up nicely in the washing machine, making them more environmentally friendly than disposable options. Measuring 6 by 11 by 45-1/2 inches, the Bissell Steam Mop weighs less than 7 pounds and is covered by a one-year limited warranty.--Mary Park
