Banish Flu & Cold Germs with Steam Cleaning
Learn how to use a chemical free steamer to clean and disinfect your home to keep germs from spreading during cold and flu season
Overview
Use a steamer to clean and disinfect your home to keep germs from spreading during cold and flu season. To prevent the spread of germs and bacteria, it’s important to clean and disinfect your home after someone has been sick with the flu, a cold, a stomach bug or another illness.
You don’t have to use bleach or other harsh chemicals to clean and disinfect. A steam cleaner is effective for cleaning, sanitizing and deodorizing. It can be used on a variety of hard and soft surfaces, including countertops, appliances, upholstery, carpet and sealed flooring. A steam temperature of 212 F should quickly wipe out most bacteria, germs and dust mites. The Wagner 915 produces steam in excess of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, so you will be able to disinfect most surfaces quickly, with just a few passes of the steamer.
Some areas you may want to to clean and disinfect after illness include: Bathrooms; Kitchen; Sick person’s bedroom; Cabinet handles; Doorknobs; Refrigerator handles; Microwave handles and keypads; Stove knobs; Rugs; Upholstery
