Guide
Spring cleaning doesn't need harsh chemicals. Use steam to remove dust mites, pollen, and other respiratory irritants. Here are 5 concrete, chemical-free tips for deep cleaning to make your home visibly cleaner and more allergy-friendly.
A steam cleaner loosens grease, limescale and dirt with up to 100°C steam, allowing you to clean thoroughly without detergents. Use Rennoa SteamCleaner on hard surfaces in the kitchen and bathroom, and avoid chemical residues on tables, handles and children's contact surfaces.
How to: Fill the tank, heat up, and slowly move the nozzle over the surface from a distance of 3–5 cm. Wipe with a microfiber cloth for streak-free results. See Rennoa SteamCleaner and User Guide .
Tip: Spring cleaning is a thorough cleaning. Having trouble tidying up before you clean? Put all loose items without a fixed place in a laundry basket. When the surfaces are clean, it's much easier to find permanent places for everything afterwards.

Textiles such as curtains, sofas, mattresses and carpets can harbor dust mites, pollen and pet hair. Steam penetrates the fibers and loosens what vacuum cleaners often leave behind. Treat the surface slowly and let the material dry shortly afterwards.
Even in Denmark, many people suffer from dust mites – in fact, it is estimated that up to one in five Danes is allergic to them. But even for those without actual allergies, dust mites can cause annoying symptoms such as a stuffy nose, itchy eyes and fatigue. Unfortunately, regular vacuuming is rarely enough. Hot steam is scientifically documented as one of the most effective methods of removing dust mites. Use our glass scraper nozzle with a microfiber cap and run it slowly over mattresses, pillows, curtains and other fabric surfaces for a thorough and chemical-free cleaning.
Keep outdoor allergens out
A walk in the park is great – but don’t bring pollen and pet hair home with you. Use a garment steamer to quickly freshen up jackets, throws and curtains, remove pollen and smooth out wrinkles. Faster than a wash.
Tip: Use the glass scraper nozzle with microfiber cap on mattresses, pillows and curtains for even steam distribution.
Air out 2–3 times daily and combine with an air purifier with a HEPA H13 filter to reduce pollen, dust and smoke particles in the indoor environment. Consider placing the air purifier in the living room or bedroom during pollen season.
Recommended air purifier: We recommend the Comforth Air Purifier as it removes 99.97% of dust, smoke, bacteria and allergens.
Spring cleaning isn't an Olympic discipline, but it feels like one with all the stretching and bending. Use the angled nozzle to get behind stoves, ceiling lights, fans and shower curtains. Give corners, skirting boards and grout a slow, even steam treatment.
Click the window nozzle onto your SteamCleaner and run in vertical strokes from top to bottom. Wipe with a microfiber cloth for a streak-free finish. Use the same method on shower doors, mirrors and other smooth surfaces like refrigerators and oven doors.

Cleanup, deep cleaning of kitchen and bathroom, steam cleaning of textiles and window washing, as well as ventilation and possibly air purifier.

Once a year is the minimum, but many people choose a semi-annual deep cleaning – for example, spring and autumn. More frequent cleaning of textiles and air exchange may be recommended if you have allergies or pets.

Where should I not use the steam cleaner?
Avoid untreated wood and laminate floors, delicate painted surfaces, plaster and wallpaper. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
