Can this go in steam disinfection?

I don t know exactly about this product. I returned it immediately after i got it as it had a strong chemical smell and found it very thin. My son was then 6 or 7 months and it seemed inappropropriate to feed him from it. I bought instead a Beaba which works fine & can be disinfected both by boiling or steaming (not the lid).

The packaging doesn't specify, but I would be comfortable steam disinfecting this product.

As an RN I have to ask, "Are you serious?" It should go without saying that this would NOT be able to stand up to being autoclaved! You could disinfect it but it was not made to be sterile. Hope this answers your question but just in case let me state this plainly, my answer is NO.

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

Definitely good for disinfecting, it's got a great steam stream, but I'm not sure about it getting out stains. It did take some mold stains out of my carpet, but I needed to pretreat first.

I would not use this item to steam clothing. Although I suppose it is possible, I had not really thought about it. You would need a wider attachment than is included. It is really made for cleaning.

Hi, I met a Steam Mop rep in a home fair I attended. He advised that we use only DISTILLED Water. He said that our mop will last much longer is=f we use that. I am not sure what "purified water" is so just use distilled water and you will be fine. By the way, I love my mop!

No the steam is only warm. The way the steam is created is with the heating element inside the water. Water must be heated to a certain temperature to create steam, so really unsure if cold steam is even a possibility. If you use the ozone option, it adds a third oxygen molecule to the compound, thus producing fuller steam and having an antiseptic effect. Ozone is really great for acne prone skin.

you can't use essential oil in this steamer...this is just a plain one...you will ruin it if you do...

I have not tried it but I am confident it can. I have clothes steamer and the steam that comes from it is not different than the steam from the Steamfast. The steam from the Steamfast is not very not so there should be no problems.

No. It says to just use water. Solutions may clog the steam lines. I have dogs and the steam is more than enough to get rid of any odor and stain. I have been extremely impressed with this machine.

I don't have a steam mop but I'm sure you could, I use it in a bucket with my rag mop and in my sniffer.

NO. The wavelength is far from the range necessary to disinfect, and the output is weak; both factors (as well as time of exposure) are critical for disinfection.

Yes, I too would like to use it to disenfect the kid's toys. I just cant use vinegar and bleach on everything, and Lysol/Pine Sol really do smell (Anything else merely cleans, not disenfects... ie. gets rid of the germs as well as dirt). Please reply if you find out how hot the steam is coming out of the Wagner. Allergy Buyers Club praises the Ladybug steamer for disenfecting (and lists operating temperature), But at over $1000 I cant really justify it.

Yes it can. That was one of the things that grabbed my attention when I saw the end result of the tile and grout in the restroom at my work when the cleaning lady finished steam cleaning....it was magnificent and sparkling. The restroom is near a heavy dirty traffic warehouse and there are always lots of black scuffs and icky yuck gets built up in the tile grout. The steamer got it done beautifully! That is one of the main reasons I ordered one.

Yes, You can but I've only use vinegar to descale/clean the unit. I use water but distilled water is recommended and best.

I wouldnt use in a steam cleaner. It smells like ammonia, and I wouldn't want to risk inhaling the mist. I didn't care for this stuff.

Yes you can. I do that most of the time. It cleans very well with just the hot steam.
