Bagless Vacuum

If you are interested in living a natural, chemical-free life, you have probably considered investing in a steam vacuum cleaner. In addition to reducing the use of toxic cleansers, a steam cleaner can also help reduce the allergens in your life. Your home will be cleaner, and it will all be done simply with safe, natural water.

If you are on a budget, a good choice of steam cleaner could be the McCulloch MC-1275. The list price of this well-rated machine is $150. This unit has a 50-ounce tank, and is capable of giving you several hours of steam for cleaning. It can't clean everything, but it is reported to do a good job on moderate build-up of soap scum, grease, and similar organic substances.

Steam does a great job of killing bacteria, mold, mites, etc., and is safer than killing these organisms with chemical poisons. The McCulloch MC-1275 has on-board storage for the 10 well-constructed tools that it includes, and has a 12-foot cord.

If $150 is still too much for your budget, you might want to consider the SteamFast Handheld steam cleaner SF-227, which retails for $39.99. It's shaped something like a spray can, and provides about 12 minutes of cleaning. That means you will have to refill the 10 oz. tank frequently for big jobs. Still, it's an inexpensive way to add the benefits of steam to your cleaning methods.

If you are able to pay a lot more, such as over $400, there are many more serious options in steam vacuum cleaners. One of the best is the WhiteWing steamer. It produces steam at a temperature of 285 degrees F, which is quite a bit hotter than the temperature produced by the less expensive steam cleaners. It has a roomy 67-ounce reservoir for longer steam cleaning.

A real plus is that the WhiteWing includes safety features to prevent burns. The unit takes about 15 minutes to heat a full tank to steam temperature, which is indicated by a light on the control panel.

Another steam cleaner to consider is the VC 3000. This is a home model that retails for $465. The red unit holds four liters and can produce steam for three hours. The boiler is made of stainless steel. The temperature reaches 298 degrees F. and at a pressure of up to 65 PSI. It includes a lot of tools, including 3 aluminum extension poles, and several floor attachments, such as a steam mop.

The VC 3000 also includes an eight foot long insulated hose with a fingertip trigger at the end so you can clean almost anything. This is the brand of steam cleaner that has been around longer than the others, so you are getting the state of the art with this one.

There is almost nothing that can't be cleaned with this machine. All types of floors, counters, bedding, plumbing fixtures, fireplaces, you name it. Steam vacuum cleaners appear to be the way of the future.
