Almost every second household in Germany has one or more animal companions. Whether it's a dog, cat, rabbit or guinea pig - pets enrich our daily lives, bringing joy, comfort and companionship. But as much as we love our animal companions, they also increase the need for cleaning in everyday life. Hair, paw prints, smells and small mishaps are simply part of living together.
Instead of increasingly resorting to chemical cleaning agents and disinfectants, which not only pollute the environment but can also be harmful to pets' health, the use of dry steam is recommended. This innovative cleaning method ensures effective, deep and, above all, hygienic cleanliness without the use of chemicals. Odors, bacteria, viruses and even parasites are completely eliminated - solely through the power of hot steam.
Gentle cleansing with a powerful effect
A decisive advantage of dry steam cleaning is the deep and lasting removal of stubborn odors. Unlike scented sprays or cleaners with artificial aromas, which merely mask bad odours, the hot, dry steam completely neutralizes unpleasant odour molecules. Thanks to the extremely small water particles, the steam penetrates deep into porous surfaces, upholstery, carpets or joints. This not only removes superficial dirt, but also invisible traces of odors - ideal for households with animals.
Pet owners know this: Dogs and cats in particular tend to return to certain areas again and again once they have been marked or an odor has been left behind. With dry steam, these animal "scent messages" can be reliably removed, which can have a positive influence on the animal's behavior and prevent unwanted repetitions.
Chemical-free = safe for humans & animals
Another major advantage of chemical-free cleaning with dry steam: pets do not come into contact with aggressive or potentially toxic substances. Many conventional cleaning agents contain fragrances, solvents or disinfectant additives that can irritate the skin and mucous membranes or, in the worst case, even cause poisoning - whether by licking freshly wiped surfaces or coming into contact with sensitive paw pads.
When using dry steam, on the other hand, only water is used, which is heated to over 150 °C and applied under pressure. This leaves all treated surfaces hygienically clean - without any residue. This makes the method ideal for pet-friendly households where safety and well-being are paramount.
Hygienic cleaning of pet accessories
In addition to floors, upholstery and textiles, our four-legged friends' accessories also need to be cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis. Food bowls, transport boxes, scratching posts, cages, dog beds and litter trays are used every day and collect a lot of dirt, bacteria and odors over time. Chemical-free but thorough cleaning is particularly important here - because the accessories come into direct contact with the animal.
Dry steam can be used to clean these items quickly and efficiently. The hot steam effect not only removes visible dirt, but also has a disinfecting effect: bacteria, germs, fungal spores and even parasites such as mites or fleas and their eggs are reliably killed by the high temperature. This makes dry steam particularly recommended for the regular maintenance of litter trays, small animal cages or sleeping areas.
Steam also proves to be a real all-rounder when cleaning toys, leashes or brushes: without the use of aggressive cleaning agents, the materials are preserved and there is no risk of residues getting into the animal's mouth or onto its skin. This is a real benefit, especially for animals with allergies or sensitive skin.
Deep clean textiles & upholstery
Pets love soft surfaces - sofas, carpets or blankets are often preferred resting places. But over time they leave traces behind: hair, dander, saliva or even the occasional mishap. Dry steam offers a particularly hygienic cleaning alternative. The heat penetrates deep into the fibers, loosens dirt and at the same time eliminates odor sources and possible germs.
Regular use of dry steam brings noticeable relief, especially for allergy sufferers - whether human or animal. Pore-deep cleaning reliably removes allergy-causing particles such as mite droppings or pollen. Indoor air quality improves measurably, which contributes to a healthier living environment.
Dry steam against parasites
Parasites such as fleas, mites and lice are a tiresome topic in many pet households. Particularly treacherous: these tiny pests nest not only in the fur, but also in sleeping areas, upholstery, carpets or blankets. Conventional sprays or powders are often not only ineffective, but also contain aggressive ingredients that can be harmful to health.
Dry steam offers an animal-friendly and sustainable solution here. The high temperature not only kills the adult parasites, but also their eggs and larvae - without any chemicals. As a result, parasite infestations can be effectively contained or even completely prevented.
Saves time and resources
Last but not least, cleaning with dry steam is also a real time saver. Surfaces can be cleaned quickly, thoroughly and without time-consuming scrubbing. As no additional cleaning agents are required, you not only save money, but also reduce packaging waste and protect the environment. A single cleaning step is all it takes - no wiping, no drying, no long waiting times.
Conclusion: Cleanliness with a clear conscience
Anyone who loves animals wants to offer them a clean, safe and healthy home - without endangering their health or their own. Dry steam is the ideal solution for anyone who wants hygienic, environmentally friendly and pet-friendly cleaning. Whether for floors, furniture, textiles or pet accessories - the versatile steam power cleans thoroughly, odorlessly and completely residue-free. So your home remains a place to feel good - for people and pets.
