Steam offers a ton of benefits over conventional cleaning. One of the most attractive reasons to use steam is that it cleans with water.
Here are our 5 favorite reasons to use steam to clean and disinfect the home:
1. Steam cleans, sanitizes and deodorizes
Steam cleaning kills 99.9 percent of bacteria, germs and dust mites. This includes E. coli, Staph bacteria, Salmonella and other micro-organisms, surface molds, bacteria, viruses and other dirty things lurking around the house. Water has to be heated to 175 degrees for it to effectively sanitize. All HAAN units heat water in excess of 212 degrees which is the temperature needed to create steam that kills bacteria, germs, and dust mites in just one second.
Steam also cleans. It removes dirt, loosens stains, and powers through grease and grime without the elbow grease needed in traditional cleaning. This means less time scrubbing. If you have a pet (or a teenager!), steam removes odors from soft surfaces such as mattresses, carpets and upholstery.
2. Chemical-free clean
People are increasingly concerned about the possible health ramifications of chemical residue and gasses in common cleaning products. There is no need for chemicals or detergents when steam cleaning. So there are no sodium tripolyphosphates, or other hard-to-pronounce compounds, to worry about.
3. Steam is a versatile cleaner
Steam can be used on just about any hard or soft surface through the home. It’s a great cleaning tool from floor to ceiling. Here is just a partial list of things that you can clean and disinfect with steam: sealed flooring (hardwood, tile, natural stone, laminate, vinyl), toilet and surrounding area, counter tops, oven, stove top, pet bedding, mattresses, upholstery, children’s toys, refrigerator, pantry shelves, and laundry areas.
4. Steam cleaning is economical
Cleaning with steam replaces expensive cleaners and disinfectants.
5. Steam cleaning is environmentally friendly
Steamer cleaners use water, which means no toxic residue or gas will be released in the air, or find a way into our bodies or the water supply. Plus, there is no product packaging to throw away. You can wash HAAN’s Ultra-Microfiber cleaning pads yourself so you can reuse them time and time again.
Bonus: No bucket!

How do I get more steam pressure and
a harder spray from the handheld. It does not seem strong enough to break up dirt around the toilet and on tiles?
First, make sure that your unit has head enough time to fully heat and pressurize. This could take around 3 minutes with pressurized units. I would suggest using the concentrator nozzle and maybe even attach the small nylon scrub brush to give a lil extra umf to your cleaning. The HAAN AllPro does need to occassionally re-pressurize, so if you notice the stream to be slow, give your unit a rest for around 30 seconds.
Can the HAAN light floor mop be used on marble floors?
Marble can be very sensitive and often times harsh cleaning products can strip the sealant from this surface. Chemical-free steam cleaning has proved an easy way for me to clean my marble. We do always suggest to check with your flooring manufacturing prior to cleaning the entire area though.
My steamer pads seem to be leaving streaks? What do I need to do to prevent them?
