Teenagers and The Hair Spray!

I don’t need to describe the condition of a bathroom after a teenager has left and gone to school. Hair spray is everywhere. As frustrating as it is, I well remember doing the exact thing many years ago. Hair spray has been around for a long time.

The bathroom looks much like a disaster zone after the kids leave for school. There is hair spray on the mirror and walls. Before anyone gets to the realization that the mirror and walls need desperate attention, weeks have passed. The counters are full of an assortment of spills, drops and smudges! The toilet seat even has hair spray on it. If there are boys in the house, let’s not forget how the toilets and the floor look after a few days, let alone weeks! If this isn’t a bad enough situation, the bickering to see who is going to clean the bathroom is never-ending.

I wondered how I could ever get through this war zone without the Comet, Windex, toilet bowl cleaner, swiffer and lots of paper towels? Everywhere I turned, I kept reading an article on cleaning green. There is so much talk about not using toxic chemicals.

I saw a commercial on the Sargent Steam machine. I actually came across the Steams My Team blog and called about it. My cleaning solution has been solved!

I have worked on the beveled edges on the doors where the hair spray was caked on. When that hot steam hit the doors, I was able to whip away the dirt with a rag. The doors, the wall behind the mirror, and the mirror were gleaming. A soft micro fiber cloth on the mirror made them look sparkling. There was true amazement on my face. The entire process maybe took about 20 minutes. I had saved so much time. I no longer needed ANY chemicals in my house at all.

I actually have so much room under my sinks, the bathroom cabinets, and storage room, that the shelves looked bare! I must have had hundreds of dollars worth of this and that I had seen advertised on television that I bought almost every week. None of them work like they say they will! They just cost a lot of money and give the companies a huge profit every year.

That was a year ago now. Cleaning with steam has made our home happier, cleaner, and saved us from anymore expensive chemicals. My teenagers are thrilled to use a steam cleaner. It makes cleaning fun!

Please Stay Off Those Ladders!!

I have finally truly learned my lesson. Cleaning has always been something I loved, both because I like clean, but cleaning is good for stress. Last summer I decided to clean my outside windows, using an old ladder I knew wasn’t that safe. It would suffice this time and I’d never use it again. The ladder never got used again, yes, but I fell off backwards onto the cement driveway. A neighbor found me lying there all bloody and called the ambulance. I spent 4 days in a trauma unit at a cost of $13,000!

Are you looking for a better solution to tedious cleaning or do you find yourself wondering what the easiest and most effective way to clean is?

Nearly everyone unknowingly spends about $35 a month of one cleaning chemical after another, trying to get the same results they do on television ads. In a year’s time, with auto detailing and carpet cleaning, you are spending over $400 a year, which is a very low estimate.

A steamer is just like buying anything else. Do you want a tiny little car for your family or do you need something larger? Something bigger and better always costs more! As important is that you have a local place to have service if you need to. To my knowledge, no other steam company has someone go directly to your home and give you an hour free demonstration! If you buy another machine and don’t like it, you must pack it up and send it back. Why not first see the Sargent Steamer first and THEN make your decision?

If you are out-of-town, we have extensive online classes to teach you how to use your machine using excellent videos.

Make house cleaning fun!

Cleaning Dangers Threatening Every Homeowner

If you are like the average homeowner, there are probably 20 different cleaning chemicals under your kitchen sink! Go take a look right now. You have something for shower grime; you have windex for the mirrors; oven cleaners; toilet bowl cleaners--you name the job and I can tell you that you have the chemical you THINK is going to help your cleaning jobs. Wrong. Not only don't they work all that well, but most of them are smellly, harsh, toxic, corrosive, and not at all biodegradable. Many of the chemicals under your sink are dangerous, fatal-if-swallowed, or poisonous! Since all of these products are consumable, they are a monthly expense...the more you clean the more you spend on toxic chemicals.

Consider the global impact of every household flushing all that chemical soup down the drain and then disposing of the empty bottles in the landfill. How much would Mother Earth benefit if we no longer needed to produce, package, or ship any of those household cleaning chemicals?

When the question is dirt, the solution is pure and simple. It's water! The Sargent Steam machine uses ONLY WATER. Thanks to modern technology, water is heated to 298 degrees and becomes an indoor power washer. Clean the entire house, sanitizing everyting as you go. Just imagine getting every surface in your home cleaner than it's ever been WITHOUT USING CHEMICALS.

There’s Another Window Waiting To Be Cleaned – And She’s Too Smart To Leave Streaks. No Streak Window Cleaning!

One of my most favorite things about Spring and Summer is looking out at nature through nice, clean windows. For some reason having clean clear windows just changes the feel of my home. Everything seems cleaner when the rooms are full of sunshine. The whole house seems brighter and cheerier.

I do have a confession, though, in the past I didn’t wash my windows very often- in fact almost never. It was just such a daunting task. I have tons of them and they’re high – I couldn’t reach most of them without getting on a ladder. Not to mention how time-consuming it was. It seemed to be an all day long event.

Worst of all was the lousy results after slaving all day long. I always ended up with streaks no matter which stuff I used – vinegar, Windex, alcohol – I tried them all. None of them were very effective. I had to spray it all over and manually wipe it all off again. I think I covered every square inch of my window 17 times by the time I finished fighting all the streaks.

It seemed pretty crazy as I thought about it – here I am smearing stuff all over the window when what I really wanted was nothing on the window.

The sad part about this whole thing is I thought I’d just have to get used to dirty, dingy windows – I just didn’t have the time, the energy or the right tools. Then I found the tool I had been missing and the solution was so simple I couldn’t believe it. I bought a steam cleaner and I’m so excited about it!

Steam is just water so it doesn’t leave an oily film like chemical cleaners. The water is “distilled” in the machine so there are no hard water mineral spots left on the glass. The heat melts through sticky fingerprints, fly tracks, even doggy nose prints like magic. The shine is awesome and with no chemicals they even stay cleaner longer.

My steamer has a squeegee attachment that’s so effective. I use the soft brush for scrubbing away all the weather and grime then I flip to the other side to squeegee away the moisture and dirt. That’s it! No endless polishing and no streaky residue left that just attracts more dirt. They’re streak-free and squeaky-clean in a single pass!

I can even reach the high windows without climbing on a ladder. I just add extension wands so I can reach to the top while standing on the floor. I finish up any leftover water droplets with a microfiber cloth. Voila! Every window in the house is so shiny, streak-free and clean I can finally see outside again!

Now I enjoy clean windows all the time. I can’t tell you what a difference my steamer has made. I can tell you I don’t miss how hard I had to work to get windows clean before my steamer. The whole house has never shined like this and with so little work it’s so rewarding. Yeah!
