No matter how you look at it, cleaning is a chore. That's why there are so many articles on the internet offering timesaving advice and labor-saving hacks. When a tip resonates as true, it goes viral, spreading from one influencer to another, rapidly gaining attention until the secret becomes common knowledge. That's what happened with the eco-friendly Bissell SteamShot Deluxe steam cleaner. Here's why.
When you use a steam cleaner, it only requires high temperatures, pressure and water to get the job done. If you noticed, no chemicals or detergents of any sort were mentioned in that list, meaning this method is considered eco-friendly (as well as kid-friendly and pet-friendly). Those three elements are all it takes to break up stubborn grime so it can simply be wiped away. And in the process, the steam also kills mold and germs.
On the downside, steam cleaners are not safe on every surface. They can get very hot and larger models are not always very versatile. Cleaning with one requires a little patience, and some models can be expensive.
The Bissell SteamShot Deluxe is highly affordable and extremely versatile. This handheld model is only $41.19 on Amazon and it comes with 10 multi-surface cleaning tools, allowing you to clean everything from bathroom grime and floors to windows and fabric. The SteamShot Deluxe is compact and relatively lightweight — even when it's filled with water — so you can easily move it to any place that needs to be cleaned. Also, the heat-up time is only 30 seconds, so you can get to cleaning faster. If that's not enough, a portion of your purchase is used to help save homeless pets.
This is the steam cleaner that went viral. It has 1,000 watts of power and comes with a wide range of accessories, including a fabric steamer, a window cleaner, a grout cleaning tool, a flat scraper tool and an angle concentrator tool.
