Höyrypuhdistimen

Höyrypuhdistin is a Finnish term that translates to steam cleaner in English. A steam cleaner is an appliance that uses hot steam to clean and sanitize surfaces. It works by heating water to a high temperature, typically above boiling point, which then converts into pressurized steam. This steam is then released through a nozzle or attachment, loosening dirt, grime, and grease.

Steam cleaners are versatile and can be used on a variety of surfaces, including floors, tiles, grout, upholstery, windows, and even ovens. The high temperature of the steam is effective at killing bacteria, dust mites, and other allergens without the need for chemical cleaning agents, making them an eco-friendly option. Different types of steam cleaners exist, such as handheld units for spot cleaning and larger canister or upright models for more extensive cleaning tasks. Accessories often include brushes, squeegees, and extension wands to adapt the cleaner for different applications. When using a steam cleaner, it's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions and ensure the surfaces being cleaned are suitable for steam.
