Bell Motor Inn Testimonial
Owner of Bell Motor Inn, Kathy, tells Eco Steam Cleaning how going down a greener path has not only saved their business in hundreds of chemicals costs, but has also been a more convenient and faster way of ensuring a deep clean.
What cleaning methods were you previously using?
I was using chemicals, such as strong bleach for most of our cleaning applications. I would normally be wearing gloves and a face mask, and getting down on the floor and scrubbing manually.
What were the reasons why you were looking to change to green cleaning?
I'm actually allergic to chemicals! Also, I just wanted to go down a greener path for the environment. That's when I came across a Jetsteam Maxi. It is a small, high temperature steam cleaner.
What are your main cleaning applications with your new steamer and green cleaning method?
We first purchased the Jetsteam Maxi as we saw how quick and easy it was to kill mould with steam, such as the build up of mould in bathrooms. It actually killed the pore
However, as I found with the machine, it can be used for a range of applications. I use the steam machine for most of our cleaning applications around the motel, including bathrooms, mirrors, floors, grout, carpet, mattresses, bed heads, curtains, windows, fly screens, stove cleaning and even defrosting the fridge.
What have been the key benefits to your business by switching to a natural cleaning process, such as using steam?
We have significantly cut our water usage. We have saved over 30 litres of water per clean, and that's just for the bathroom. Now, the most water we would use for a general clean of a bathroom would be 1 litre.
We have no longer had to purchase strong chemicals and the labour, effort, time and work it normally took me to clean just the bathroom has dramatically improved.
High temperature steam actually kills spores, not just removes mould. No longer do I have to constantly go back and do massive cleans because of fast growing mould.
