Enviornmate Brio & Pronto by Reliable to the Rescue!

Spending over 21 days in a hospital room 24/7 is not all that much fun, so we make our own fun.  I have danced to Michael Jackson on top of a chair (chair surfing) and put on Depends (adult diapers) and flashed my mother to get her to laugh....what ever it takes to keep us going!

One of my main concerns, other than keeping our spirits up, was germs.  I'm not a germaphobe, but I do know that many people who go to the hospital end up with more health problems due to hospital acquired illnesses.  You know the IHAN® clan wants nothing to do with those nasty things.....so I brought my EnviroMate Brio  to the hospital with me. I also brought my Pronto Hand Held Steamer by Reliable and used it for re-freshening after the initial total steam clean.

The Brio comes with a 21 piece accessory kit so there are plenty of attachments for all types of surfaces. The attachments are incredible....no kidding.  I don't think there is anything you can't clean with all the different attachments.  Lets just say I haven't found anything I wanted to steam clean that  I couldn't.

There are just so many surfaces in a hospital room that can potentially hold germs and viruses that I wanted to clean everything.

I started with the bed.  I know they wipe them down after someone leaves, but somehow I felt much better about my mother laying in the bed after I had steam cleaned it.  I even cleaned the metal frame below the air mattress.  The bedside commode was only rinsed and wiped out (I watched).  The frame and handles were not wiped.  That certainly was not clean enough for me.  I steam cleaned all surfaces and the frame of the commode with the Brio Steam Cleaner.  There was no way I was going to have my already very ill mother get even sicker!

Will you just look at all the steam this baby produces....there was no way a germ would survive that sort of steam!  When I first depressed the steam button on the handle, some water came out as the steam was building up so I held it over a bucket before I started steam cleaning to let the few drips hit the bucket.

I was working like the Energizer Bunny!  The Brio cleans and sanitizes upholstery, curtains, bedding (for the pets too),  yucky stuck on things inside and outside the fridge, oven, and windows.  Ask me how I know! 

I even steamed the stuffed animals that the grandchildren gave her....I need to remember to do that to the stuffies my co-workers have when I get home.

A clean and safe hospital room gave us all some peace of mind!  When I wanted to freshen up the room, I used my Pronto Hand Held Steamer.

I was alone so I didn't have anyone to help with photos....so this is the only one I took of myself using my Pronto.  The Pronto is an excellent way to clean and sanitize around the house and it also steams clothes.  I've used it to clean the gunk off my bicycle, the wheel's on the van and the grill too. It comes with a 15 piece accessory kit.  CLICK HERE to see the accessories.

The Brio is lightweight and on wheels making it easy to pull around as I clean.  It also has a 360 degree swivel so I don't get tangled up in the hose.  I can be clumsy and I hate falling over cords and cleaners so this feature is great for me.  (Quit rolling your eyes....I've done that several times with those pull around vacuums.......now quit laughing!!! :)  It cleans tile, grout, windows, furniture, curtains, floors and outdoor recreational equipment too.  There are NO chemicals, only steam, so it is wonderful for the environment....a big deal for me because I have children.

I highly recommend the EnviroMate Brio and the hand held EnviorMate Pronto.  I know you'll be happy with your steam cleaner....they are definitely IHAN® approved!
