Does this steam cleaner eliminates germs &amp; Bactria? If it does, do they have an official test report from a lab whichs verifieds their claims?

It should kill anything that would be killed with boiling hot water becaue it operates with scalding hot steam. If this is not enough info contact Euroflex/Monster and ask more information.

Yes it does destroys any toxic odors and bad bacteria from the body. I uses this product usually daily in a bottle of water or a glass of o.j☺

You raise a good point, although don't you mean anaerobic bacteria like botulism? The thing is, Clostridium botulinum is dangerous in foods which are either too high of a pH (like green beans) or which haven't been cooked at high enough temperature (greater than 185 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 5 minutes). Whether this product will do that I can't say - unfortunately I haven't had a chance to use it yet because just recently I finally gave up on receiving the converter from them and went on Amazon and bought it myself. I personally wouldn't worry about botulism with this device, especially since the vacuum will (theoretically, at least) raise the boiling point of water high enough to heat the steam to at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

Taken from product description: Chemical-Free Cleaning Leaves No Messy Residue The 905 Power Steamer's 1,500 watts of pressurized steam cleans and sanitizes deep within surfaces. The steam destroys bacteria, dust spores, and mites and even eliminates mildew quickly and easily. Also, Allergy Consumer Review gives this information regarding steamers: Q. How does a steam cleaner kill dust mites? A. By heat: Dust-mites die @ 130 degrees and temp at nozzle is about 180 degrees (trapped steam temp is up to 250 degrees) Q. How would I actually use it to kill dust mites? A. Move tool slowly; only one pass is needed. Q. Does it kill the dust mites permanently? A. No you will need to steam again about 8 weeks later. Q. What are biofilms? A. Organisms that live in colonies and form a protective covering over them are called biofilms. These organisms often live in layers, making them hard to clean. Steam kills the entire colony and removes the organisms from the surface. Chemical cleaning may kill only the top layer and then leave the organisms there. Side note - vacuum after steaming to remove dead mites

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

Sorry I cannot answer that part, I can tell you that mines does not seem to get hot enough to steam any garments so I have never used it to remove smells from garments.

The steamer will certainly HELP break up the old mildew and guke but may NOT completely remove it. After steaming, I would go over the build up with a slightly scratchy pad and a product called "Eliminate" that you can get at Home Depot. Eliminate is similar to muriatic acid so use CAREFULLY - - - it is designed to cut through the white calcium build up that you sometimes see around pots on patios. It also works well to clean glass shower doors but - - - again - - - - wear gloves and don't get it in your eyes! Hope this helps - WO

actually it's a concentrated enzyme cleaner. The bottle says it "digests grease and other non-living organic matter. It cleans and deodorizes floors, walls chrome, and other surfaces not harmed by water". It's misrepresented in description between what Amazon and the actual bottle says. I gave it a 0 rating when I reviewed it. I bought it thinking it was a bedbug killer.. It's a multi-purpose cleaner. Wouldn't kill anything.

My best guess is yes it does. This sanitizer is basically food grade phosphoric acid. If you absolutely want to get rid of every living organism and be sure of it, use hot water and bleach solution. 1 tablespoon bleach and 1 gallon water should do it, just make sure you give it a nice good and long rinse afterward with boiling water. Or just use star san and not rinse at all. :)

I don't believe this is recommended. The whole point of steam cleaning is to clean naturally, without additional chemicals. That's why I bought the machine, so I wouldn't have to use extra chemicals.

I haven't noticed a smell, but try isopropyl/rubbing alcohol, it should destroy any germs/smells.

I had difficulty getting enough steam built up to get rid of soap buildup. It seems a bit underpowered. Hope this helps.

This is not a humidifier, it is an air purifier. There is no steam; only cold air comes out.

I am sorry I do not know the answer to this question. I can definitely say it removes biological smells, so if human-produced odors are an issue, it should remove those. Not sure about the actual ingredients in antiperspirants, if that is what you are referring to in your query!

this machine sanitizes the water chamber and water, hose,face mask or nose, assembly and head gear, from germs and bacteria, works well, I have one, I still clean my mask cushion daily (gets all the drewl off lol) but every thing else is not in contact with my salvia. Once a month (only 12 times a year I clean all parts with soap and water again, than use the so clan neutralizing pre wash (comes with machine) because u still handle the equipment and touch every thing so cleaning it monthly keeps the dirt off. I hope this helped .. G-Man
