Hey guys! I hope you have all had a great week! The kids have just left for a camping weekend away with their grandparents so I am hoping that this will be a very productive weekend for me. I have a ton of projects planned and can’t wait to share them all with you! If you want to have an idea what I am up to, you can check out my June To Do List.
Today we are going to be talking kitchen cleaning. Ugh. We all know how hard it is to keep the kitchen clean. For most of us, it is probably the busiest room in our home, and just when you think it is all cleaned, another mess is created. It is pretty much a never ending story…
I am always on the look out for effective and efficient green cleaning ideas, and was so excited to try out one of these SteamMachine Plus Steam Mops from Homeright. It is super light weight, easy to handle, and one of the most versatile cleaning products I have used. I have been using the Homeright Steam Machine Power Steamer for the past couple of years and use it frequently for cleaning our tiles and deep cleaning the bathroom. For something new, I decided to put my SteamMachine Plus to the test in the kitchen.
The new SteamMachine Plus heats up in under 30 seconds so there is no waiting around before you are able to use it. I also love that I can add some of my favorite essential oils for a nice, fresh scent {you can read more about the best essential oils to use for cleaning here}. I think that the lemon is probably my favorite scent to use in the kitchen – it’s such a clean smell – but you can always use your favorite or mix and match to create a custom scent. Just add about 10 drops to the steam cleaner where you add your water.
So why do you want to clean with steam? The high temperature, high pressurized steam from the SteamMachine Plus easily loosens and dissolves dirt, grease, and grime {meaning NO scrubbing!!!} and kills 99.9% of all germs and bacteria without the use of any chemicals. This will be, by far, the easiest and quickest way to get through all of that kitchen cleaning!
Okay. So let’s get down to work. Aside from being able to steam clean your floors {and there is even an attachment so you can clean the carpets too!}, this little steamer has lots of other uses in the kitchen. My very favorite thing about this unit is that it transforms into a hand held steamer and comes with a variety of attachments to clean windows, grout, counters, and more. This lets you get into all of those little nooks and crannies that can often be hard to clean. I put the steam cleaner to the test with my lovely oven.
The “after” shot was taken after using the steam cleaner for about 3 or 4 minutes and required NO scrubbing. I just used the scraper attachment on the hand held steamer, steamed it down, and wiped up the grime with an old rag {don’t use a nice cloth for this as it will get VERY dirty!} There are definitely other green ways of cleaning your oven but I can’t imagine anything faster than this!
I also gave it a go in the microwave oven…
To keep the microwave smelling fresh, I leave a mason jar {with holes poked in the top} filled with baking soda and about 10-15 drops of essential oils. When I am done, I just shake up the jar and put it back in the microwave. Just make sure you don’t use it with it in there! It is also really helpful if you can leave the door open for a few minutes after you have finished using it to help it air out a bit.
Easy-peasy!!
If you are looking to boost up your kitchen cleaning routine and cut down on your time spent doing it, I would definitely recommend giving the SteamMachine Plus a try. You can have your whole kitchen cleaned and disinfected in no time and, for some reason, it is a little more fun cleaning with steam!
I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
Homeright did provide me with a SteamMachine Plus Steam Mop. As always, all opinions are 100% my own.
