Steam Cleaners – A Guide to HEPA Filtration Systems


Steam Cleaners
Many of Daimer®’s steam cleaners are equipped with true HEPA filters. Some suppliers like to label the ordinary filters in their machines “HEPA,” but you should be aware of the difference between a genuine HEPA and other filters. A real HEPA filter, the kind fitted in Daimer®’s steam cleaners, can trap particles as small as 0.3 microns. These particles, whether pollen, spores, bacteria, or other allergens, are the most dangerous. They find their way easily into the lungs, causing respiratory problems and diseases.

Steam cleaners equipped with HEPA filters remove almost all types of allergens with extreme effectiveness to alleviate allergies. This includes animal hair, dust mites, lint, and dust. Using these steam cleaners is one of the best ways for maintaining indoor hygiene. In addition to removing allergens, steam cleaners equipped with anti-bacterial technologies, such as the ATIS® technology from Daimer®, eliminate more than 99 percent of bacteria and germs.

Ordinary vacuum cleaners are not as effective as Daimer®’s HEPA filter equipped steam cleaners with wet and dry vacuum options. In non-HEPA equipped vacuum cleaners, the tiny spores and bacteria tend to escape from the inbuilt trash bag during vacuuming, and are reintroduced into the environment. HEPA filters do not allow spores, dust mites, hair, and other allergens to escape from the holding bag. Therefore, whatever is vacuumed stays inside.
