5 Reasons Not to Rent a Steam Cleaner! | Save Money & Effort
Introduction
Thinking of renting a steam cleaner? Before you do, let’s look at five simple reasons why it might be better not to rent one. Find out why owning a steam cleaner can be more beneficial than simply renting. We’ll explain why renting is often more expensive than buying your own steam cleaner. Plus, owning a steam cleaner gives you the flexibility to use it on different surfaces, such as your sofa, facade, furniture and in the bathroom, whenever it suits you!
5 reasons
1: Moderate price/quality
Renting a steam cleaner can often be expensive compared to the limited results you get in return. The financial picture may not match the cleaning results you get in return.
2: Dirty Devices:
Often, rented steam cleaners are old and not exactly spotless. Using a device that has not been properly maintained can hamper your cleaning efforts and even produce undesirable results.
3: Lower Quality of Unknown Brands:
Rented steam cleaners are usually not of the best brands. This can result in reduced performance and efficiency in cleaning surfaces.
4: Limited Time and Flexibility:
Renting a steam cleaner often comes with time constraints. You have to return the machine within a set period, which doesn’t give you the flexibility to do your cleaning at your own pace.
5: Uncertainty about Hygiene:
The hygiene of rented steam cleaners is not guaranteed. Others may have used the device without cleaning it thoroughly, which increases the chance of spreading bacteria.

Window Frames with Mold and Bacteria
Direct the steam cleaner at window frames that are affected by mold and bacteria. The heat from the steam helps kill bacteria and mold spores. Then wipe off the loosened dirt with a cloth.
-
Stubborn Stains
For tough stains, simply hold the steam cleaner on the spot for a few seconds to loosen them. Then use the squeegee to wipe the stain away. Repeat a few times if necessary.
-
Dry with a cloth
Finish the process by wiping the cleaned windows dry with a clean, dry cloth. This will ensure a streak-free result and give the windows a glossy finish.
Why buying is better:
When considering a steam cleaner, it makes more sense to buy one than to rent it all the time. Why? Firstly, having your own steam cleaner gives you the freedom to use it at any time. Imagine suddenly wanting to clean – if you have your own steam cleaner, you are ready to go right away, without wasting time renting. Secondly, although the purchase price may be comparable to renting it all the time, you will save money in the long run because you do not have to pay for it. Furthermore, you are in control of the maintenance and you always know exactly what has happened to your own steam cleaner. In short, investing in your own steam cleaner is more practical and cost-effective
Additional tips
1: Clean immediately
Always clean your hob immediately after use. This prevents dirt and food residues from settling and making cleaning more difficult.
2: Hob protective cover
Consider using a hob cover when the hob is not in use. This will prevent dust and dirt from building up.
3: Avoid scratches
Avoid using detergents with lemon or abrasive substances, as well as scouring pads. These can scratch and damage the surface.
4: Do not use soda
Do not use baking soda to clean your hob. Some hobs can be sensitive to certain cleaning agents, and baking soda can scratch or damage the surface.
