Question 1

Is steam cleaning safe for all surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Not for all surfaces  -  hardwood floors require caution as excessive moisture can cause warping. Delicate laminates and unsealed natural stone also need special assessment. Steam is highly effective and safe on tiles, grout, glass, stainless steel, porcelain, vinyl and most sealed stone. Our team assesses every surface before starting.

Question 2

Does steam cleaning kill mould?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Steam at 140°C+ kills mould spores at the root, including in grout lines and behind tile edges where standard cleaning products cannot penetrate. This makes steam cleaning particularly effective in Finnish bathrooms and saunas where high humidity creates ideal conditions for mould growth.

Question 3

Is steam cleaning eligible for kotitalousvähennys?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Steam cleaning performed in your own home qualifies for the Finnish household tax deduction (kotitalousvähennys). You can deduct 35% of the labour cost from your taxes, effectively reducing the €80/hr rate to approximately €52/hr. We provide all necessary documentation.

Question 4

How often should I steam clean my bathroom?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional steam cleaning of grout and tiles every 3-6 months, depending on how frequently the bathroom is used and how well it is ventilated. In Finnish homes where bathrooms are used daily, a quarterly steam clean keeps mould and limescale at bay most effectively.

Question 5

Is steam cleaning good for sauna cleaning in Finland?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely  -  steam is the ideal solution for sauna cleaning in Finland. Steam sanitises sauna benches, walls and the kiuas area naturally and safely. It kills bacteria and mould from wood fibres without any detergents, leaving nothing behind but a clean, fresh sauna.
