WILL THIS ACTUALLY STEAM AND SANITIZE?

It doesn't heat the water. You put in hot water from the tap. I do not believe it is sanitizing the carpet at all, but as far as cleaning the carpet, it does a nice job.

It's not actually steam per say...it's more of water being sprayed out, like a wet vac. Hope that helps!

Yes it can. The steam function is independent. Just turn the machine on and wait for the steam light to illuminate. Always be sure you have enough water.

Yes, but it's worth it to keep the steamer running longer. Tap water will ruin the internal parts.

It should be good steady steam. Make sure you are using tap water as the directions state.

I have a moderate amount of steam coming from mine at it seems to be working... I've never had one before so I haven't got anything to compare it with. I can only say it seems to do the job intended. hope this helps.

Hi, towels are always better sanitized. You want to kill any germs left over. However I don't sanitize them every time if I am only using it for one or 2 clients, I just warm them up. This little box is perfect for a home use or spa. It keeps towels extra hot. U can fit about 8-10 towels and maybe 2 rocks (stones). I would highly recommend it. You won't regret buying it. Enjoy!

No. This is the worst steamer of all time and is a waste of money. It doesn't steam anything.

Think of this as a high pressure water jet. It shoots steam and you have to wipe it up. This isn't a steamer/vac combo.

I do. Steam will kill any bacteria or potential growth, but it won't wash the milk off. I use the steam sterilizing bowl for all my pump and bottle supplies.

It's a mixture of water and cleaner. The manual suggests using warm water. There's definitely no steam, though.

The steam is hot. I'm not sure what you mean by effective clean. It cleans great.

I am not a scientist and have not done any studies about the disinfecting time required. I do know this unit produces a lot of steam and the pad picks up a lot of dirt. It does have a trigger for additional steam if there is a particular spot that requires it. I would be careful to test an obscure spot for normal use and also if you plan to leave the unit in a particular spot longer than normal. The test spot of vinyl flooring in one of our bathrooms appeared dull after our test and therefore we do not use this unit on that floor. It is fine in the rest of our rooms. HTH

No it is not that kind of steam cleaner. It you put hot water in it but it would have to be very hot. I love it though it cleans amazingly well. You will need to spend a lot more money to buy an actual steam cleaner that heats the water.
