How can you use a steam cleaner in the garden?
A steam cleaner is a versatile appliance that can be used for many cleaning tasks in the garden. For example, it can be used to effortlessly remove dirt, pollen and grease deposits from garden furniture made of wood, metal or plastic. The steam even penetrates hard-to-reach areas such as cracks or joints and removes dirt.
Patio surfaces also benefit from steam cleaning. Whether stone slabs, tiles or wooden floorboards - the steam removes stubborn dirt such as moss or algae that has settled in the pores of the surfaces. The steam cleaner is also ideal for cleaning barbecues, as it efficiently removes grease and burnt-on dirt without chemicals. With the right attachments and a little care, it can even be used on more delicate materials such as awnings or upholstery.
Steam cleaner - Cleaning the patio & garden furniture: step by step
1. preparation of the cleaner:
Fill the water tank of the micro steam cleaner with water and allow the appliance to heat up to the required temperature. This usually only takes a few minutes.
2. selection of the appropriate attachment:
A wide attachment is recommended for cleaning garden furniture, which distributes the steam evenly over the surface. For particularly dirty areas, a smaller attachment can be used for targeted cleaning.
3. cleaning the garden furniture:
Move the steam cleaner slowly and evenly over the surfaces of the furniture. Make sure you treat every area thoroughly. The hot steam loosens dirt and deposits that have become trapped in the pores of the materials. After treatment, the loosened dirt can simply be wiped off with a cloth.
4. cleaning the terrace:
The decking surface is cleaned in a similar way. Run the steam cleaner over the slabs or boards to remove dirt, moss and algae. For joints in particular, you should use a narrow attachment to get into the gaps. Here, the hot steam penetrates deeply and loosens dirt, which can then simply be wiped or swept away.
5. allow to dry:
Thanks to the low water content, the cleaned surfaces dry quickly. Garden furniture can be used again shortly after cleaning, and the patio can soon be walked on again without leaving slippery patches or puddles of water.
Advantages of the dry steam cleaner for cleaning patios and garden furniture
1. environmentally friendly and chemical-free
The advantage of using the dry steam cleaner is that no chemical cleaning agents are required. This not only protects the environment, but also the health of people and animals. Garden furniture and patio surfaces that are cleaned with dry steam do not come into contact with chemical residues, which is particularly beneficial for households with children or pets. In addition, water consumption is significantly reduced as the dry steam cleaner only requires a small amount of water.
2. versatility with different surfaces
The Micro Cleaner from Medeco Cleantec is suitable for numerous surfaces that are typically found on patios and garden furniture. Wood, metal, plastic and stone can be thoroughly cleaned with the hot dry steam. The steam penetrates deep into the pores of wooden garden furniture without damaging the material. Stubborn dirt such as algae and moss can also be removed from stone patio slabs or tiles. The steam dissolves the deposits so that they can simply be wiped off with a cloth or brush.
3. deep cleaning without residue
A major advantage of dry steam cleaning is that the hot steam effectively loosens even deep-seated dirt. This is particularly useful when it comes to cleaning patio joints, where dirt and organic deposits often accumulate. The steam penetrates deep into the joints and loosens the dirt without the need for chemicals. The cleaned surfaces also dry quickly as the dry steam cleaner uses very little water. This means there are no puddles or slippery spots on the patio.
Special requirements for cleaning sensitive materials
Garden furniture and patios are often made of various materials, from wood to metal and plastic. While robust materials such as stone and metal are insensitive to heat and moisture, more sensitive surfaces, such as certain types of wood, can also be treated safely with dry steam.
Wooden surfaces:
Wooden furniture or decking boards can be cleaned down to the pores with a dry steam cleaner. The steam gently cleans the wood by penetrating deep into the fibers and loosening dirt particles without damaging the wood. After thorough cleaning, it is advisable to treat the wooden surfaces with a suitable care product to protect them from the effects of the weather.
Metal and plastic:
Metal and plastic furniture can be cleaned particularly efficiently with a steam cleaner. The hot steam removes even stubborn dirt such as grease, dust and dried-on residue. At the same time, this method is gentle on surfaces as it does not require abrasive cleaning agents. By using a suitable attachment, even hard-to-reach areas such as corners or gaps can be cleaned thoroughly. Cleaning with steam leaves no chemical residue and ensures that the furniture is quickly ready for use again.
Sustainability and environmental friendliness
Cleaning with a dry steam cleaner is not only an effective way to give patios and garden furniture a new shine, but also a sustainable alternative to chemical cleaning agents. The absence of chemicals protects the environment and ensures that no toxic residues remain on the cleaned surfaces. This is particularly beneficial outdoors, where rain could wash chemical residues into the soil or plants.
In addition, cleaning with dry steam saves water, which is particularly important in times of increasing environmental awareness. Compared to conventional cleaning methods, which often use several liters of water, the micro steam cleaner only requires a small amount of water to effectively clean a large area.
Conclusion: Dry steam cleaner for sustainable and effective cleaning of the entire patio
A steam cleaner offers a versatile and environmentally friendly way to effectively clean patios, balconies and garden furniture. Whether stubborn dirt on patio slabs, moss in joints or dust and grease on plastic furniture - the hot steam removes deposits thoroughly and leaves no chemical residue behind. Even sensitive materials such as wood or upholstery can be cleaned gently with the appropriate attachments.
An appliance like the Microcleaner from Medeco Cleantec shows its strengths here: With minimal water consumption and intense heat, it removes dirt down to the pores, ensures hygienic cleanliness and dries the cleaned surfaces quickly.
