I am the happy owner of one the cutest, most unique salons in town. I take a great deal of pride in its appearance and its cleanliness. I have several hair and nail booths, three tanning beds and two rooms I rent out to massage therapists. It’s an absolute must that all of these areas be kept sanitary and presentable. I’m in the image industry so my presenting own image in its best light is critical.

Some areas in my salon are easier maintained than others, but all areas receive daily and weekly cleanings with my steam cleaner. Cleaning them any other way is unacceptable.

Keeping my tanning beds clean and sanitized used to be one of my biggest challenges. Obviously providing my clients with the cleanest most sanitary beds is at the top of my list but its also necessary to keep all the parts clean for the beds to operate at peak performance.

I refuse to use chemicals to clean or sanitize. They’re bad for the environment and can be extremely harmful to my clients health. In the past I’ve had clients exhibit a reaction to some of the cleaning solutions I used to sanitize the beds and pillows. That was before I bought my steam cleaner.

Daily, my beds are steam cleaned after each tanning session. I use the diamond attachment with a cloth to steam every part of the bed that comes in contact with a person’s body. This includes the acrylic shields, pillows, buttons and handles. Cleaning these items with my steam cleaner will ensure that fungus, bacteria and viruses are stopped immediately. Cleaning with steam is fast and effective and will not damage the finish on the beds.

Weekly I use steam and a microfiber cloth to remove dust and oils from the reflectors, lamps, fans and trays which, if allowed to build up, would prevent them from working effectively. I specifically use a microfiber dusting cloth for removing dust and debris, these cloths are amazing. I also like the microfiber glass cloth for polishing the windows, mirrors and chrome – it’s actually one of my favorites.

I can’t say enough about my steam cleaner. I truly believe these things were invented and designed for salon owners. Yes they’re awesome for my tanning beds but equally as awesome for every other surface in my salon. You name it and my steamer cleans it.

My boyfriend and I helped move some friends into a new house over the weekend. The thing our friends were most excited about is their hard wood
floors. They were a little nervous because they’ve never lived in a house where they’d have to take care of them.

She had asked other friends if they knew how to keep them looking like brand new without ruining them and the methods she heard were really silly.Someone suggested using vinegar and water to get them clean and wax to keep them conditioned. But what I know about vinegar is that it’s a corrosive!The last thing she’d want is to eat through the varnish! The wax just left everything cloudy and sticky. She could see foot prints on
them almost right after she did them.

These just seemed like too much work, and too many things to be worried about all at once so I suggested we use my Microfiber Mop. I just misted the
mop pad with regular tap water and ran over the floor. I could see the dirt and dust cling to the mop. I couldn’t believe how clean it made the wood.
Now they look clean and polished with almost no work at all.

I’m so glad I didn’t have to come up with a crazy concoction to make her floors look better. The secret to the microfiber mop is in the way the
fibers are made and what they are made out of. The material is a Microfiber-polyamide blend with NO cotton. They weave the fibers to look
like star-shaped clusters. These little groupings of thirsty fingers cling onto just about anything they touch.

I like to use them dry to get all the loose dirt and debris off the floor instead of a standard broom. I love them with just a small amount of water
to get the harder, stickier messes off with ease. When I’m finished I simply remove the pad from the attachment head and then launder with regular
detergent. I don’t use fabric softener because this will coat the fibers and affect how well the mop can do its job.

My name is Lisa, and I have been using Microfibers form Sargent Steam for about six years now. I still haven’t seen all the places these great little
tools have made leaps and bounds over other methods. If you would like to see where your home can benefit from using just Microfibers and water
instead of mops and buckets with chemicals, please visit the experts at Sargent Steam. http://www.sargentsteam.com.
