Product Spotlight: Sauber Steam & Vacuum

Getting the clean home of your dreams often requires multiple products, all doing their own jobs to create a cohesive, thorough cleaning routine. But we’re always on board with a versatile cleaner that helps to cut out even one of those many steps.

The Sauber Steam & Vacuum SV-100 Multi-Surface Cleaner is a fantastic 2-in-1 machine that’s particularly useful in homes with hard floors. If you’ve never used this kind of multi-purpose cleaner before, you’re not alone. We’re going to dive deep into the features of this Sauber product to see how it could benefit you and your home.

This cleaner does what it says on the box: it steams and vacuums, but it does it at the same time to help cut down on the time you spend cleaning every day. 

It’s equipped with three different cleaning modes: steam, vacuum, and simultaneous steam and vacuum. This means you have greater control over cleaning operations and can tailor its use to the amount or kind of mess you’re dealing with. For example, you may want to vacuum first to pick up the majority of dry mess, then follow it up with steam to remove any residue or lingering grime. 

Steam is an easy and effective way to clean as it’s proven to kill germs and bacteria without the use of harsh chemicals. The hot steam emitted can break down grime, sticky residue and even waxy messes to leave your floors sparkling clean and sanitised. Not only is this a safe and healthy way to clean homes with kids or pets, but it won’t leave your floors soaking wet like a traditional mop.

Steam is also an excellent alternative to cleaning with chemicals for those with allergies or sensitivities to traditional cleaning products and strong fragrances.

What sets this cleaner apart from many steam mops, however, is that you can safely add cleaning solutions to the tank if you’re after an extra-effective clean. Just add a product like one of our Enzyme Wizard floor cleaning solutions and mop away.  

The SV-100’s vacuum function is equipped with cyclonic bagless technology, which effectively picks up and separates dirt and other particles for a more thorough clean. It also features a HEPA filter, which collects airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust and allergens. A single human hair can be as large as 50-70 microns, so you can imagine how small the particles captured by a HEPA filter are. As well as keeping your floors clean, this kind of filtration can significantly improve your home’s air quality.

A swivel floor head helps to catch all the mess on your floors by manoeuvring into corners and tight spaces.

For even greater control over every clean, this multi-surface cleaner features adjustable steam settings to suit different floor types and levels of mess. It also has trigger control, so you can release steam only when you need it and get the most use out of a single tank of water.  

Due to the cleaning power of steam, a quality steam mop makes cleaning easier and less physically straining. This cleaner eliminates the need for vigorous scrubbing by efficiently breaking down tough grime and grease. So, instead of pulling out the mop and bucket or getting down on your hands and knees with a sponge or scourer, all you need to do is run the cleaner over tough messes and watch them melt away.

For extra convenience, this cleaner has a rapid 30 second heat up time. This means less time waiting around for it to reach an effective temperature, which in turns means a shorter cleaning routine.

Less rough scrubbing is also better for your floors, as is reducing the use of harsh chemicals. Add on the SV-100’s rubber wheels that don’t scratch or mark floors as you move it around, and this cleaner is a great way to maximise the life of hard floors and tiles. 

One of the most inconvenient parts of cleaning is all the maintenance your cleaners require. The SV-100 features an easy-empty canister for mess-free dirt disposal and reusable mop pads you can throw in the washing machine with your laundry.

These design features reduce the time spent on maintenance, allowing you to get on with other things.

This cleaner is particularly effective on hard floors, including sealed timber floors, tiles and marble. Whether you’re vacuuming, mopping or doing both, it will make short work of messes in your kitchen, bathroom or communal living areas.

The inclusion of a carpet glider attachment means it can also be used on carpets, but it may not provide the deepest clean possible in high-traffic, mess-prone areas of your home. For quick pick-ups and regular refreshes, however, it’s a great way to get the job done.

Here are some of our best tips for getting the most out of your Sauber Steam & Vacuum SV-100 Multi-Surface Cleaner.
