Definition: A steam cleaner is a household appliance that is used for sanitizing and steam cleaning surfaces without chemicals and only with the use of water. It loosens dirt and grime to enable an easier cleaning. A steam cleaner is not recommended for all surfaces, only sealed surfaces that can take heat and moisture.
During the steaming process, a heating element boils the water in the reservoir and as the trigger is pressed, steam is produced. A steamer can be used with or without cleaning tools and accessories.
Please note that this definition refers to general steam cleaning machines and not to carpet steam cleaners, which are very different. Learn more about carpet steam cleaners
