Removing dust mites with a steam cleaner

3 Minutes

Dust mites, tiny spider-like organisms that feed on skin flakes from humans and pets, are a common problem in households around the world. Their presence can lead to allergic reactions and respiratory issues, especially for individuals with asthma or allergies. Fortunately, The Clean Experience (TCE) offers an effective solution for removing dust mites with powerful professional steam cleaners.

Why are dust mites such a problem?

Although dust mites are invisible to the naked eye, their droppings and body fragments can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Symptoms range from sneezing, itchy eyes, and rashes to more severe respiratory problems like asthma.

In the hospitality and accommodation sector, such as hotels, hostels, and guesthouses, dust mites can be a significant issue. Mattresses, pillows, carpets, and curtains in hotel rooms are ideal breeding grounds for dust mites. Guests with allergies may experience severe reactions, negatively impacting their stay and potentially leading to complaints and damage to the business’s reputation. Dust mites can also cause health problems in households, particularly for those with allergies or respiratory issues. Battling these pests is essential for a healthy living environment.

How TCE steam cleaners help combat dust mites

TCE steam cleaners provide a powerful solution for effectively combating dust mites. With their hot dry steam, which can reach temperatures of up to 180°C, they can kill dust mites and remove allergens from various surfaces, such as mattresses, carpets, upholstered furniture, and curtains. By using steam, users can not only eliminate dust mites and their eggs but also kill bacteria, mold, bedbugs, and, of course, other stains and dirt.

Steam extraction vacuum or steam cleaner, which do I need?

For cleaning upholstered surfaces like mattresses, furniture, and carpets, it’s useful to be able to extract moisture directly from the upholstery, allowing it to dry quickly and effectively “rinse” the fabric, especially if a stain has penetrated deeper. A steam extraction vacuum, as the name suggests, has a vacuum function (for wet and dry vacuuming).

A steam cleaner, on the other hand, does not have a suction function, making it very handy in areas where vacuuming up water isn’t necessarily required, such as kitchens, bathrooms, terraces, etc.

Are you struggling with allergies and dust mites in your home? Check out our domestic steam equipment. We have several models available, with and without vacuum functions. Did you know that both the Allergia and the Piu Pro have a patented steam filtration system? This filter ensures that all collected dirt and dust particles are completely disinfected and that all harmful microorganisms are eliminated.

Key features of TCE steam cleaners for combating dust mites:

  • Powerful steam: Our steam cleaners generate hot dry steam with temperatures up to 180°C, effectively killing dust mites and allergens.
  • Eco-Friendly: TCE steam cleaners use only water as a cleaning agent, leaving no chemical residues and maintaining air quality.
  • Thorough cleaning: The use of steam not only removes dust mites and their eggs but also eliminates bacteria, mold, bedbugs, and other stains and dirt.
  • Safe to use: Our steam cleaners are safe and easy to use, even on delicate surfaces like curtains and upholstered furniture.

Tip!

Did you know you can refresh upholstered furniture beautifully after a thorough steam cleaning by using a few drops of Acqua Clean? This can be done in two ways:

  1. Add a few drops to a spray bottle and mist it onto the cleaned upholstery for a lovely fragrance.
  2. Add a few drops to the dirty water tank of your steam cleaner, allowing a pleasant scent to disperse during vacuuming.

“We bought the TCE steam vacuum cleaner M8 Athena with electric brush initially for hygienic cleaning of the store floor of our ice cream parlor. It steams, scrubs, vacuums and pulls the floor really clean and almost completely dry. But with all the included attachments we now do more than just the floor. Our stainless steel worktops and ice cream display case also become flawlessly clean and shine like new. Awkward spots are no problem at all. We clean the windows in half the time than before, with better results. We can no longer do without it, because with this steam vacuum cleaner we work cleaner, more efficiently and with a lot of pleasure!”

“The TCE M8 from The Clean Experience bv, meets our needs because it is a professional but handy machine. A favorite accessory is the electric scrub-shampooing steam brush. It works easily on a rechargeable battery and the result never ceases to positively amaze me. Last but not least, steam is also capable of removing up to 99.99 percent of germs and bacteria from a wide variety of surfaces. Still, nice to know that not only does it look clean, but it really is clean.”
