Green Cleaning Gadgets – Vapamore MR-100 Dry Steam Vapor Cleaner Review

Admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 07:45:01 +0000

Reducing the number of chemicals used in the home is one of the key prerequisites of any move towards more Eco Friendly Cleaning. With a dry steam vapor cleaner NO cleaning liquids are used at all, just plain old water (and not too much of that either).

Here at the Green Cleaning Products site we are always concerned with waste and the need to use less of every type of cleaning product (even the most Eco friendly). With this in mind, our third green cleaning gadget review is of the Vapamore MR-100. Being a dry steam cleaner means using the power of water rather than detergents to do your cleaning for you.

Avoiding detergents is about as green as it gets. And though obviously this isn’t quite as green cleaning as a bucket and microfiber cloth, there are times when we need to get a little tougher on dirt!

About the Vapamore MR-100 Dry Vapor Steam Cleaner

Using steam at pressure means you can get into lots of different materials. To sanitise mattresses and other soft furnishings is a good extra tool you can own with the Vapamore. Although floor cleaning is what we generally think of, it has a myriad of other uses too. A carpet cleaning attachment is obviously pretty useful for dealing with unexpected spills and pet mess. The high temperature reached by the steam exiting the green cleaning gadget exceeds that needed to deal with bed bugs and mites so you can achieve a real deep cleaning without resorting to any harmful or non-green chemical agents.

Outside it will cope with sorting out your wheel rims and paving. But for more delicate items indoors it is possible to adjust the pressure to ensure your cleaning is done in a sensitive manner. This is one of the cheaper home steam cleaners available but the customer reviews give it a definite thumbs up, so do not be fooled by the low price. This is an economical buy but definitely a useful one in the war against dirt in your home.

Our favorite points have to be that this gizmo has lots of power without the need for harmful cleaners. Keeping your home clean and safe from toxins and air-borne particles is important. And, with the only waste product being dirty water you do not need to be worried about sending out harm to the environment at large.

The dry steam will lift dirt, remove stains, destroy bacteria, mites, spores and moulds and more, all in an ecologically sound manner. 17 extra attachments are included with the steam cleaner. They all fit snugly into the cleaner body or accessory bag so you have no storage issues to deal with. Because the steam only contains around 5% water vapor your home furnishings will not be treated to a soak as you clean.

Attachments Include:

Steam gun with hose
Accessory adaptor
Detail accessory nozzle
Jet detail nozzle
Nylon detail brush
Metal detail brush
Nylon grout brush
Floor cleaning head and cotton mop cover
2 in 1 clothes / fabric cleaner and cover
2 in 1 window / surface cleaner
3 extension tubes
Funnel and measuring cup for easy filling
Cord reel and accessory bag for simple storage

Whether you are particularly interested in environmentally friendly cleaning solutions or simply want something tough to clean floors and sanitise home furnishings, the Vapamore MR-100 Dry Steam Vapor Cleaner could be the ideal Green Cleaning Gadget for you.

Here at the Eco Cleaning Products site we have looked into many green cleaners. Natural, safe, biodegradable and so on. We have also looked at home recipe cleaning products. Simple Green Cleaners, eco cleaning tips such as using vinegar to help clean the windows, or baking soda deodorizer in the trash can. We have also talked about using a little more elbow grease and less product altogether, particularly with the help of our favorite green cleaning closet essential, the microfiber cloth.

But, though we may sound ‘holier than thou’ at times, expressing a desire for everyone to think more about making their Cleaning Eco Friendly, we can assure you we are not. Our home is an average one, where sometimes the thought of elbow grease is enough to put you off doing the chores entirely.

There are time savers and more importantly effort savers that can really help on the greener cleaning front though. So, we shall interrupt our usual programing to bring you the best Eco Cleaning Gadget Reviews we can lay our pretty little hands on.

First up will be the Bissell 1400-7 Little Green Cleaning Machine. Yes, we know it uses electricity and it is made up of plastics and resins. But, delve a little deeper and there is an awful lot to keep even the greenest greenie happy. Post consumer recycled materials, biodegradable carpet cleaning solution, Styrofoam free recycled packaging. And that is just the machine. Add to that the fact it is also helping our carpets and upholstery remain in tip top, stain free condition for longer. This means a clever green gadget could mean a longer time between new purchases which is of course one of the most environmentally friendly things you can do.

So, hang fire for the Eco Cleaning Gadgets Series…
