Share
Looking for the best way to keep your home clean and sanitised? Here at McCulloch, we make absolutely no apologies for being uncompromisingly pro the Power of Steam!
Why use a Steam Cleaner
No chemicals
Even your regular supermarket-bought cleaning solutions often contain harmful chemicals and toxins. Our Steam Cleaners don’t use any chemicals, artificial solutions, or toxins. With nothing but hot steam, you can effectively kill bacteria, deodorise areas and sanitise surfaces. Whether you have children or pets at home, or just want a safer, cleaner home environment, chemical-free steam cleaning is the way to go.
No airborne allergens
Airborne allergens can trigger allergies, exacerbate hay fever, or cause a variety of other symptoms like sinus headaches. When you use a McCulloch Steam Cleaner, you won’t be adding any allergens to the air that can cause you or your loved ones discomfort or pose any risk.
Flexible usage
Whether you’re cleaning a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, or even venturing outside to clean the car or barbeque, Steam Cleaners are impressively flexible in the way they can be utilised and the surfaces on which they can be used. Plus, with up to 23 different accessories, the McCulloch MC1385 Deluxe Canister Steam Cleaner in particular ensures you have the perfect tool for just about any surface in your home.
Cost effective
Forget the days of replacing costly chemical cleaners or buying multiple pieces of cleaning equipment. With a Steam Cleaner–needing nothing but distilled water and electricity–you can clean more, with less. This will save you money over the long term and is the cost-effective way to effectively clean your house.
Top Tips for Using Your Steam Cleaner
To help you make the most of your McCulloch Canister Steam Cleaner, we’ve assembled some top tips to help you clean more effectively and with less effort.
Wipe Away Residue
If you’re going to steam clean dry surfaces that have dried residue or spills, such as your kitchen bench tops & stove tops, we recommend using a microfibre cloth to wipe the debris away gently and easily. Microfibre cloths are great for effective cleaning and perfectly complements using a Steam Cleaner which actively breaks down the chemicals and structure of stains and unwanted substances.
Use Distilled Water
Tap water contains a number of minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium. Distilled water, on the other hand, is filtered and purified so that the actual liquid is in a relatively pure form. By using distilled water that’s devoid of the impurities and minerals of tap water, your Steam Cleaner will be far more effective and even last longer.
