Deep Clean with a Steam Cleaner

Steam cleaners use high-temperature steam to sanitise hard floors and other sealed surfaces without chemical cleaners, breaking down grease and grime built up over the cooler months. Water alone produces enough steam to clean and sanitise; cleaning solutions are an optional extra for tougher grease and grime, not a requirement.

The range spans from a compact handheld model for spot-cleaning tasks like grout, tiles, and bathroom fixtures, up to full-size canister models with a larger continuous-steam tank for whole-home floor cleaning.

Steam works on sealed tile, laminate, and sealed hardwood. Unsealed timber and some natural stone floors can be damaged by heat and moisture, so it's worth checking your flooring manufacturer's guidance before using the steam function regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Good Guys stocks steam cleaners from top brands like Karcher, ranging from the compact SC1 handheld for bathroom surfaces to the SC5 Deluxe canister model for sealed hard floors and carpets.

Water alone will steam clean and sanitise the floor. Most brands, including Kärcher, also sell their own cleaning formulas to help lift tougher grease and grime. These are an optional extra, not a requirement for the machine to work.

Steam cleaner prices vary by type. Handheld models start from around $200, built for quick, targeted jobs like grout or upholstery. Canister models run higher, up to around $1,000, with higher steam output, larger water tanks and specialised floor-cleaning heads. Check each product's price on its own page, or ask a team member in one of our stores.

Steam cleaners use standard tap water rather than chemical cleaning solutions. As a rough estimate, a 1350-1900W steam cleaner would cost about 40-60 cents per hour to run at an electricity rate of 30 cents per kWh. Actual running costs vary by model wattage and how often the unit is used. Check each product's specifications for its rated power, or ask a team member in one of our stores.

Not always. High-temperature steam is generally safe for sealed tile, laminate, and sealed hardwood. Unsealed timber and some natural stone floors can be damaged by heat and moisture. Check your flooring manufacturer's guidance before using a steam function regularly.
