Resulting in more home carpet steam cleaners coming into the shops, but do you know what are the best carpet steam cleaners?
Choosing the most suitable steam cleaner for you depends on what you want to clean with the steam cleaner and of course your budget. We hope this short review of steam cleaner types will assist you in finding the right type for you.
Steam cleaners come in a range of shapes and sizes - but generally resemble vacuum cleaners, coming in cylinder, upright or handheld varieties.
Cylinder steam cleaners - which are composed of a main body, bendy hose and nozzle - tend to be lighter and less hefty than uprights.
Upright models - freestanding cleaners with a brush head - tend to be better at covering large areas of floor quickly.
Handheld steam cleaners are compact and easy to store, and can be a good option if you're only looking to steam clean on a small-scale - to clean curtains or hard-to-reach carpet edges, for example.
Some steam cleaners can perform more than one task - doubling up as vacuum cleaners with water-based filters, or even featuring attachments that can power a steam generator iron.
