I was given a discount on the Comforday Steam Cleaner in exchange for my honest review. A review post was not required and all opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this post.

I will be the first to admit that I hate cleaning! I don’t like a dirty or messy house either so I often feel at a crossroads. How do I overcome this? I delegate chores to my children, take turns cooking with my husband and  find fun ways to clean like using a steam cleaner.

I remember all the commercials for those high-end steam cleaners that promised all sorts of cleaning miracles. I am sure you are curious as to what a handheld steam cleaner can do to make your home sparkle. I am going to share with you how my family uses a steam cleaner to give you some ideas.

Super Clean the Stove Top

I decided to not clean the stove burner area for a while to give our little steam cleaner a run for it’s money! I set to task by wiping up the dried food crumbs and then started to steam away the visible dirt. Next I started to steam around the gas burner area and more crud came loose then I thought was even there! YUCK!

We didn’t even think about how gross the back wall area of the stove might be until we steam cleaned it! UGH. It was not quite as gross but still streamed down with gunk. So glad that I own a steam cleaner and can now super clean it!

Oven Door, Bottom, and Walls

How many times have you had things spill over in your oven? Even though I don’t bake pies it seems like every time we bake a pizza some cheese falls into the bottom and burns. Sometimes this causes the smoke detector to go off! I don’t have a self-cleaning over or an exhausts hood so I didn’t want to use chemicals to clean it. I had tried soaking a rag with baking soda but some of the gunk just wouldn’t budge!

I set the steam cleaner to task to clean the side walls, door, and bottom of the oven. I needed to use more than one tank of water but it really did the job without all the stress of scrubbing or stink of chemicals.

Degunk the Kitchen Floor

Since we haven’t had a dog in over 2 years it’s very hard for me to want to mop the kitchen floor very often. It’s also much harder to keep the crumbs up and thus have to sweep much more often since we don’t have a furry friend to clean the crumbs up. So there has been a few tiny spills that were neglected and got yucky. If I were to mop over that spot I would have to really get my back and arm muscles into it or use nasty chemicals! NO WAY. Now I can just hold the steam cleaner wand with the fabric pad over the spot and it’s up in as little as 10 seconds WITHOUT breaking my back or getting on my hands and knees and scrubbing! Hallelujah!

Detangle Your Dolls Hair

Yes, you read that right! I’m sure if you have a daughter, niece, or granddaughter then you have seen the matted mess that a doll’s hair can become! My daughter was super big into American Girl sized dolls and we found a knock off version at the craft store! These dolls were 1/5 th of the AG price BEFORE I used a coupon! Flash forward a few years and a dozen hair styles and multiple trips to grandma’s house later. The poor dolls hair has become a matted mess!

The steam cleaner that we got at a discount for review on Amazon is the Handheld Multi-purpose Pressurized Steam Cleaner from Comforday. It’s a pretty powerful steam cleaner that is capable of handling  jobs in the bathroom, kitchen, shop or anywhere else grease, grime, dirt and mold accumulate. We still have lots of things to try to clean with our steam cleaner. I was thinking of steam cleaning our toothbrushes to help cut down on germs after someone is sick. Much cheaper then buying a new one for 6 people since they are usually $2-$4 a piece!

Here’s what Comrfoday has to say:

It’s great at lifting and removing stains from carpets, draperies or bed spreads. You can even clean your mattress to prevent or kill bed bugs. It also has powerful window cleaning action. The multi-purpose unit comes with nine accessories that make it versatile at handling different tasks, including steaming wrinkles out of your clothes. Light weight and easy to use, the  Handheld Multi-purpose Pressurized Steam Cleaner from Comfordayis a chemical-free way to keep your home healthy and clean.

 

Do you own a steam cleaner? What do you use it for? If I don’t post for awhile then I might be busy steam cleaning something!
