Get Off That Ladder to Clean Walls!!

How many of you out there hate cleaning your painted walls so much you just don’t do it at all? Are you looking for a better solution or do you find yourself wondering what is the easiest and most effective way to clean these darn things?

I am here to tell you that your search is over! I have found the quickest, simplest, absolute best way to clean those walls. Heck, you can even tackle the ceiling at the same time it is so easy.

How you ask – with the most amazing indoor power tool I have ever used. My steam cleaner. I am shocked at how easy it is to clean my walls since buying my steam cleaner.

I used to save this tedious chore for my once a year cleaning project. It was always a weekend long project and by the time I got around to it each year my walls were filthy! Seems like I was even having to bribe the kids to help and then listen to them complain the whole time!

What I hated as much as the complaining was that ridiculous bucket of dirty water that was putting grime right back on my walls and how that dirty water was constantly dripping down my arms. Another thing that was irritating was having to go up and down that stupid ladder what seemed like a thousand times! Ugh!

With my steamer this chore is no longer put off for years as at time, in fact I would be willing to do it every week if it needed it. It really is that easy. I simply turn the machine on wait a few minutes for it to heat up.
Once heated I attach the extension wands so I can stand comfortably on the floor and still reach even the ceiling. I do not miss that ladder! I attach the rectangle brush with a cloth on it and begin to clean the walls in an up and down vacuuming motion.

Steaming means no more buckets with dirty water, ladders, mess and best of all no complaining from the kids. Although, now we do have fights over who gets to use this way cool steamer tool next!

Sarget Steam Can Be Repaired In Salt Lake City

Many steam cleaner companies do NOT have local repair services. This is vitally important when you purchase! If you have a problem, you can zip to the corporate headquarters at 3131 East 3300 South in Salt Lake City, Utah. If you need immediate repairs, call 1-800-748-7832.

There is no need to order parts and wait for them, and no need to send your machine to be repaired, as often you must do with many of the other steam cleaners. This is a PLUS for purchasing.

Where do Germs Hide?

You might think that you are alone in the shower, but there are actually billions of germs lucking there with you! If you aren't using a steam machine to thoroughly clean the grout and shower walls, those germs linger. Go to my article, "Germs Can Kill..."

Germs have a hayday in many places where you like to go: the hand railings at airports and stores are their favorite; every where you touch may leave gersm--the computer keyboard, T.V. remote, the A.T.M. machine, the elevator buttons, and the phone,just to name a few.

In the above article "Germs Kill...", it was mentioned the kitchen sink. If you use a dish scrubbing brush, dish rag, or sponge, make sure to put those in the dish washer after daily use. If you own the Sargent Steamer, you have at you immediate disposal, a machine that heats to 298 degrees creating 50 pounds of pressure, and that kill ALL germs.

Don't lose any sleep, but there but dust mite feces is in your mattress, pillows, and bedding! Yuk! Again, if you are using the steam machine, you have at your finger tips, a method to get rid of those e-coli, listeria, mold, and salmonella germs right away.

I am in the process of visiting Salt Lake City restauants to encourage them to CLEAN WITH STEAM and teach them the benefits of using a steam machine. Some of your favorite restaurants have many cited violations for cleanliness. Give Michelle a call at 801-979-6707 if you are wondering about the saftey of your RESTAURANTS!! You may also go to the Salt Lake Valley Health Department food establishment ranking web to get information on making INFORMED decisions about where to dine.

Germs can Kill..What's your Defense?

Dr. Philip Tierno, Head of the Microbiology at NYU Medical Center, was interviewed on the Oprah Show. He said, "It takes at least 150 degrees to get GERMS off a surface." Can you believe where Oprah's forensic scientists found germs? Your home may have billions of germs. It's not your fault...cleaning is a drag! "Listeria is in the sink. The average sink has 6,000 times more germs than the average toilet! Samonella is on the wood cutting board; e-coli is on the refrigerator door handle; dust mites feces are in your bedding; mold grows in the tile grout."

Some new products make our jobs faster or easier. Some save us time or money. Others protect our health or our environment. Rarely does one new invention do ALL these things. Until now!! Sargent Steam is the most innovative and exciting cleaning machine on the market today. Now you can tackle any dirty job life can throw at you easier, faster, better, healthier, safer, and more cost-effectively than at any time in history.

Adding Money in My Pocket AND Cleaning Green

How is this possible you may wonder? Well, Sargent Steam was the answer for me! I purchased my Steamer 6 years ago and can I just tell you how nice it is to NEVER have to go down the chemical isle again! I don't have to scramble to the store because I ran out of something I needed to use to clean!

I think my purchase has probably saved me hundreds if not thousands over the years. What I can't put a price on is my children's health. I don't ever have to lock away poisonous cleaning products. Have you ever stopped to think how dangerous toxic chemicals are? Go on the EPA website and read about the dangers of using chemicals in your home. Sargent Steamer uses ordinary tap water and that's all that's needed.

Our family feels healthier and everything is just cleaner! Not to mention I am doing my part to save our beautiful planet! If that isn't important I don't know what is.

How to Sanitize Wrestling Mats So My Son Doesn’t Get Ringworm or Herpes

My son is a senior on the varsity wrestling team. He and I have both come a long way since he first started wrestling during his sophomore year. When he first informed me he wanted to try out for the high school team, I had all the normal parental apprehensions -plus some.

Yes, I was concerned about injuries but when my son brought home some documents from the coach telling us of the viruses, germs and infections that can be picked up on the wrestling mats and wrestling gear, I was mortified!
We’re talking MRSA, Ringworm, Herpes Simplex, Staph, Strep, and Hepatitis B to name only a few. These infectious, contagious nightmares were not just on the wrestling mats. They live in the headgear, pads, equipment bags and most other hard athletic surfaces.

Aside from the threat of unhealthy germs, there was an unholy stench coming from every wrestler’s gear! Nobody had ever been able to kill the schtanky miasma that permeated the whole gym.
The coach promised the wrestling mats were always disinfected before wrestlers were allowed to compete. They used chemical solutions that were applied by the old mop and bucket method. This just didn’t cut it for me. First these kids are exposed to viruses and germs and now chemicals, and how were their gear and the other surfaces being disinfected?

I had the answer to this problem, STEAM, I just wasn’t sure who to go to about it. I contacted the team mom regarding my concerns and asked if she would be willing to set up a meeting with the coach. She was all for it, apparently this was a big concern for all the parents. Even the coach was eager to find a better and safer solution.

I showed everyone how to clean the mats, floors, headgear, pads and all the other surfaces in the gym. Sanitizing with steam was faster, more effective, there was no waiting time for the mats to dry and best of all, the steam cleaner uses absolutely no chemicals to completely eliminate all those germs, bacteria and viruses.

I asked them how they felt about this method verses the old mop and bucket method and they unanimously agreed there was no comparison.
Every parent in that room was so impressed with the results that within 30 minutes they had come up with enough money to purchase a steam cleaner for the wrestling team and a rotation schedule of volunteers to do the job regularly. Talk about peace of mind. My son may get a few bumps and bruises but he will not be infected with any of those nasty illnesses.

Every parent should check out this steam cleaner – it’s amazing around the house and now it’s protecting my child at school.

The Fastest And Easiest Way To Clear Clogged Drains In Less Than 10 Seconds

My husband is now an official steam cleaner team player. Truth is I new it wouldn’t take long before he would be using it as much as I was. He’s even attached his man lingo to it calling it a very useful “tool”.

Let’s back up just a little so I can explain how this transition took place. I would give anything to have captured the look on his face with the video camera… it was priceless.

You see my husband has always been very supportive of me but he just didn’t get why I wanted a steam cleaner so badly. So I sat him down and explained it to him.

I highlighted all the benefits – like how easy it would make my life, the time and money it would save, how we could eliminate all those harmful chemicals, how every surface in our home could be cleaned and sanitized safely, and that he would love it just as much as I would. He actually said “That’ll be the day.” He did however follow that comment up with “Go ahead.” Fast forward two weeks later. I had spent the day cooking and cleaning, preparing for a weekend visit from his Mother. He had spent the day working in the yard. Everything was absolutely perfect. My Mother in-law would be a arriving within the hour so I told my husband he had better get in the shower.
The next thing I heard was my husband groaning as he stood there looking into the tub and sink. Pools of water were collecting around the drains. I could see the irritation on his face knowing he wouldn’t be showering before his mother arrived.

We’ve been married long enough that I also knew exactly what he was thinking. Crap! Now I need the plunger, pipe wrench, plumber’s auger, sewer snake, pliers and I hate plumbing problems! I knew we didn’t have time for all that and I didn’t want him making that kind of mess in my clean bathroom.
As he went to go round up the tools he thought he was going to need, I grabbed in my steam cleaner. He approached the bathroom just in time to see me attach my plumber’s helper to the end of the nozzle.

A plumber’s helper is an attachment that came with my steam cleaner. It’s about 2 inches in diameter and has a spongy seal. He asked just what did I think I was going to do with that? I calmly told him I was going to unclog the drains in the tub and sink in less than 2 minutes.

Impossible.” he exclaimed. “Watch me.” I said. I simply placed the seal over the drain in the sink and turned on the steam. Whatever was clogging the drain couldn’t withstand the 50 pounds of pressure and steam that reaches almost 290 degrees. I heard a pop and the pipe cleared in about 10 seconds. The water that had been pooling in the sink was now disappearing down the drain like magic.
Then I moved to the tub and went through the same process on that drain. The clogs were gone in under my 2 minute estimate. I turned around and that’s when I saw the look on his face of disbelief and utter amazement. It was at that moment he became a steam cleaner team player.

Since that day my husband has found many more uses for my steam cleaner. He details the cars on a weekly basis. His golf clubs are immaculate including the grip, which he swears will never need to be replaced again and our boat looks about 5 years newer.
Converting him didn’t take as long as I thought it would. It makes me smile every time I hear him telling his friends about this amazing new power tool his wife bought for him and that it’s a must-have component in their arsenal of tools. He’s become the best word of mouth proponent ever!

If you want your husband as happy as mine about something that makes me equally as happy.
