Handheld Steam
Do handheld steam cleaners work?
I notice them in stores for under $50 (Black and Decker or Bissell brands, for example). Just curious if they are worth the money if I have pet stains to worry about or if I should just rent a Rug Doctor from the store.
Anyone have any firsthand experience with handheld steam cleaners? Thanks!
I didn’t make it clear that this would be for carpeting.
Be careful with purchasing steam cleaners especially handheld ones. Most of them don’t get hot enough and need a cleaner added to them which can leave a residue behind in the material being cleaned. Leaving a residue behind can attract dirt making spots reappear. Another concern with handhelds is that the vacuum power behind them is not nearly strong enough to extract stains from denser materials.
Renting a Rug Doctor is going to be better but keep in mind the soaps and shampoos they offer with them can also leave behind a residue. I found that instead of using the shampoo that comes with the Rug Doctor using Woolite Fabric wash works better. Just make sure after you clean the material go over it one more time with plain water to rinse it.
