Hamburger Leakage – Imagine The Smell!

Imagine it’s 6:30 am. I wake up and drag myself to the kitchen for coffee. I pour my cup of black gold and open the refrigerator to retrieve the cream. I almost scream! I close the door quickly and open it again slowly. Sure enough, what I saw and smelled the first time was still there.

Cleaning the Inside of the Fridge

Cleaning the Inside of the Fridge

The hamburger meat I put in the refrigerator the night before had leaked all over everything! Blood covered the shelf, the door and every nook and cranny it could find. The bottles in the door were covered. There was even a dark nasty puddle in the vegetable bin! I was so mad, I tossed the whole icky package of meat right into the trash.

It gave me the creeps to think of the germs and bacteria that now covered half my food. The thought of using a chemical disinfectant and contaminating the other half didn’t exactly appeal either. What a crappy way to start the day! I sipped my first cup of coffee and grumbled.

Then I took an attitude adjustment and plugged in my steamer. It’s my go-to, disaster-blaster, can’t live without it – cure all. While I let my machine heat up I took all the food that was sitting in a puddle of blood from the shelf. I wiped up drips with a paper towel. I dumped the contents of the vegetable bin in the trash.

I saw my steamer’s green light, grabbed the nozzle and soft brush, draped a cloth over them both and started steaming. I rotated the cloth to a clean spot as I steamed. I was amazed at how even the dried blood came right off. The jet of steam blasted blood out of the little nooks and crannies and into my paper towel. Blood couldn’t even hide in the corners of the door boxes.

I steamed every surface until I was confident all the bacteria and germs were gone. The fact is it only takes the steam 2 seconds to sanitize what it’s touching. Anyway, within 15 minutes I was sitting down to my second cup of coffee and wondering about what else I had time to steam before getting ready for work.

I feel so strongly about sharing my horrible experience with as many people as I can reach only because the outcome was so amazing. Let me just say I love my steam cleaner and that the advantages of cleaning with steam are many.

The things I love most about my steamer are the pressure that reaches even the tightest spots, the high temperature that sanitizes and disinfects without using any chemicals, the wide variety of brushes and attachments that make this cleaning tool so versatile. It’s safe and effective on any surface in my home and even in my car.

I could go on and on but like I said before I really want to share my horrible experience with everyone. You all owe it to yourself to explore the benefits of cleaning with steam.  I know I could never go back to cleaning the old fashioned way. Without my steamer I would have just shut that fridge and gone back to bed! Oh, and by the way, double wrap your hamburger!
