"Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing." ~Phyllis Diller, Phyllis Diller's Housekeeping Hints, 1966

Phyllis Diller certainly had a way with words. However, there is some truth to what she says. Before you are finished cleaning up after your children they have already started making the next mess. But that's healthy; part of growing up is making a mess that someone else will clean up. Soon enough they will be the ones doing the clean up.

As parents we have to make sure the big things are taken care of and that our children have a safe and healthy environment to grow up in. Along that line of thinking you would not leave something out in the open in your home that could hurt your children…or do you? Are you aware of the amount of germs, bacteria, mold, mildew and even dust mites and other allergens that are in your home? This does not mean you don't clean your home well, but it may mean that you are not cleaning it correctly.

When it comes to cleaning your home you want to make sure that the things that can hurt your children or make them ill are taken care of. That includes eliminating things like allergens, bacteria, germs, viruses, mold and mildew the best you can while cleaning. It also means not introducing anything while you are cleaning that could hurt them, such as, chemical-based cleaners. Is there an easier way to clean without chemical-based cleaners while reducing allergens, germs, viruses, mold and mildew more effectively than with chemical-based cleaners? Of course, try using a steam cleaner.

Steam cleaners clean using only water heated to at least 212° F creating a steam vapor that can get into more cracks and crevices than chemical-based cleaners and, as a result, clean, sanitize and disinfect more thoroughly than chemical-based cleaners. And steam cleaners do not leave any residue behind like chemical-based cleaners that could irritate your skin and cause allergic reactions. Since there is no residue with a steam cleaner surfaces tend to stay cleaner longer.

The heat produced by a steam cleaner will kill most germs and viruses commonly found in the home as well as killing allergens like dust mites. Have you ever noticed that you or your family may feel fine during the day but when you go to bed at night you begin to exhibit allergy symptoms like a stuffy nose and sometimes sneezing and red, watery eyes. That could be because the average mattress has anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million dust mites in them. Pillows also have a very large number of dust mites. Treating mattresses and pillows with a steam cleaner will drastically reduce the number of dust mites and alleviate some of your allergy symptoms.

So make sure you keep your home safe and clean for your kids. Not only do they deserve the chance to play and grow in a safe and clean environment, they will learn from your example and make sure they do the same for their children when it is there turn.

Incorporating a steam cleaner into your cleaning routine helps eliminate germs, allergens, bacteria, mold and mildew while eliminating bed bugs and fleas.
