Clean smarter and faster with a steam cleaner
Let's be honest: mopping has never been a favourite chore. But with a steam cleaner, you change that. You're done faster, it takes less effort and the result is a hygienically clean home.
How does a steam cleaner work?
The principle of a steam cleaner is simple: water, heat and pressure.
This is how a steam cleaner works:
- You fill the tank with tap water.
- The device heats the water into hot steam.
- The steam loosens dirt, grease and limescale.
- A cloth, brush or nozzle picks up the dirt.
- You clean with fewer chemical cleaning products.
With a steam cleaner, you need cleaning products less often. The hot steam tackles dirt, grease and limescale on suitable surfaces, without you constantly needing a bucket, mop and separate sprays.
Achaté steam cleaners: mop easily without buckets
With a steam cleaner from Achaté, you clean hard floors, tiles and other suitable surfaces with water and heat. That saves time, separate cleaning products and hassle with a wet mop.
Floor steam cleaner
A floor steam cleaner has a wide head with a microfibre cloth. You glide it over tiles, suitable laminate or natural stone. The steam loosens the dirt and the cloth picks it up. On laminate, use the lowest steam setting to prevent damage.
Handheld Steam Cleaner
A handheld steam cleaner is handy for grout, taps, mirrors, windows and small surfaces. Thanks to its compact size, you can more easily reach spots that are harder to get to with an ordinary cloth or large floor cleaner.
From kitchen to bathroom: a steam cleaner is suitable for every job
A steam cleaner really comes into its own in the bathroom. Grout, tiles, taps and the shower screen get clean more easily because the heat loosens limescale and dirt. That means less scrubbing with a sponge and descaler.
In the kitchen, grease builds up on the worktop, around the oven and on the cooker hood. Steam helps loosen grease and baked-on residue without harsh cleaning products. You can also clean the worktop and sink with hot steam.
Steam can also be handy for textiles and upholstery. You can freshen up a sofa, mattress or curtain, as long as the material is suitable for steam. For stubborn stains in upholstered furniture or carpet, spot cleaners are often more targeted. Silk, leather and other delicate materials are not suitable. Not sure? Then test on an inconspicuous spot.
Make cleaning even easier with accessories
With the right accessories, you adapt the steam cleaner to the job. A wide cloth is handy for floors, while a jet nozzle works better for grout, taps and edges. Brushes help with stubborn dirt and a textile attachment is handy for suitable upholstery.
Handy accessories include:
- floor cloths for hard floors;
- brushes for grout and baked-on dirt;
- a jet nozzle for edges and taps;
- a textile attachment for suitable fabrics;
- extensions for larger surfaces.
Which steam cleaner suits you best?
Which steam cleaner suits you best depends on what you want to clean. Will you mainly use it for floors? Then a model with a wide steam head is handy. Want to tackle textiles, the worktop and the bathroom as well? Then choose a model with multiple attachments. Looking for a small steam cleaner for quick jobs like taps, mirrors, windows and grout? Then a handheld steam cleaner is more practical. If you mainly want to make daily upkeep easier, robot vacuums or an electric mop may be a better fit.
When choosing, pay attention to:
- steam pressure for stubborn dirt;
- tank capacity for longer cleaning sessions;
- heat-up time if you want to get started quickly;
- weight if you move the device around often;
- accessories for floors, grout, textiles and bathroom fixtures.

Frequently asked questions about steam cleaners
What is the best steam cleaner for the home?
The best steam cleaner for the home is the model that suits your cleaning job. For daily upkeep of hard floors, a model with a quick heat-up time and a wide steam head will do. Want to tackle grout, taps and textiles too? Then a model with higher steam pressure and multiple attachments is more suitable.
Can you use a steam cleaner on laminate?
You can use a steam cleaner on laminate, but only if the laminate is well finished and suitable for brief contact with steam. Use the lowest steam setting and move the device quickly across the floor. Don't let the steam stay in the same spot for too long, to prevent moisture damage.
What shouldn't you clean with a steam cleaner?
Don't use a steam cleaner on untreated wood, waxed parquet, silk, leather or delicate paint. These materials can be damaged by heat or moisture. Not sure? Then test on an inconspicuous spot.
Is steam cleaning really effective?
Steam cleaning is effective because hot steam loosens grease, limescale and dirt without chemical products. Steam also helps against bacteria and house dust mites. That makes it a strong choice for households with children, pets or someone with an allergy.
