Chemical-Free Green Cleaning

When you keep your upholstery clean there can be all kinds of things that go along with the furniture. Arm covers, slipcovers, and other kinds of upholstery are an integral part of your furniture and cleaning them is important to keep your furniture looking fantastic.

If you are considering taking those extra pieces to a local business to get those put through the dry cleaning equipment, think again. The expense of taking those to the dry cleaners is higher than you might think. First you have to pay for the gas in your car to take those to the dry cleaner, and then you have to calculate how much your time is worth, because you have to take the time to drive there and back. The chemicals used by dry cleaning equipment are toxic, so even after your pieces are clean, when you bring them back to your home those toxins will release into the air in your home.

Instead of chemicals and time and gas, use a Tobi Steamer to take care of those little pieces that keep your furniture looking put together and perfect. The steam cleaning action of the Tobi refreshes your upholstery pieces while saving you time and money.

Don't Hurt Mother Nature for Your Couch

Everyone is becoming more environmentally aware. You want to have an easy life with modern conveniences, but are also checking to make sure the choices you make are good for you and good for the earth. You even use an environmentally friendly dry cleaner.

But is taking in your clothing for dry cleaning really "environmentally friendly?"

The chemicals used in dry cleaning are not safe. There are toxic substances used to clean your clothing and trace amounts of those chemicals come back in the plastic bag you take away from the dry cleaner. Even the plastic bag from the dry cleaner isn’t environmentally safe. When they dump the toxins at the end of the night they have to be handled very carefully. This special care is used because they are considered hazardous waste. If it’s not safe for the trash can, how can trace amounts be safe to put on your skin?

So if you are looking to be green and make better choices while still getting the utmost in convenience, you need a Tobi Steam Cleaner. It will save you from having to wash your shirts as often by refreshing fabric and taking out the odor by steaming and plumping the fabric. When you have wrinkle-free, steamed shirts that smell good and don’t smell like dry cleaning chemicals you will feel better about your clothing as well as feel good about how your choice is also good to the environment.

Don't Neglect Your Bedroom Draperies

You have a cleaning regimen for your home, right? It includes the kitchen, living room, and other rooms that people might see in the course of a visit. Even though your neighbor may not see them over coffee, that does not mean you should neglect your bedroom when it comes to having a cleaning regimen and keeping on track with your clean home.

Are your bedroom curtains wrinkled? Just because they hang from a rod doesn’t mean they stay wrinkle-free all the time. When was the last time they were washed? When you brought them out of the dryer did you just hang them to dry on the rod without steaming out the wrinkles? You will be amazed how much better you will feel after you refresh your curtains in your bedroom with your Tobi Steamer. With the convenient detachable steam unit and the shoulder strap, there is no excuse for not refreshing your bedroom curtains.

After you’re done steaming your bedroom draperies, stand back and enjoy the view for a minute. Then smile, because it took you so little time to do, and it makes your bedroom look so much better. You will think your bedroom curtains have never looked so good, and you would be right.

Dust Mites and Dead Skin Cells are Icky

You’ve heard about how skin cells and dust mites are all over your sheets and pillowcases. You also know you are supposed to replace your pillow at least once a year, because no matter how much you wash you can’t get rid of dead skin cells and dust mites entirely. It’s just not possible.

But while you’re making sure your pillows, sheets, and pillowcases are all clean and mite-free it could give you a false sense of security in bed. No matter how clean and comfortable your sheets are, you can only do so much to keep them clean if they’re on a mattress that hasn’t been cleaned in a while.

The problem with mattresses is that you can’t throw them in the washing machine and dryer. Big, bulky, and difficult to move make mattresses one of the most difficult things to clean in your home. But if you’re not cleaning your mattress, you’re putting clean sheets on a dirty bed that may very well be dust-mite infested. Not very clean, is it?

When you refresh your mattress using the Tobi Steamer, the heat kills those pesky dust mites and refreshes the fabric of your mattress at the same time. This means you will be putting clean sheets on a clean bed. That will help you sleep at night, won’t it?

You separate you recyclables, you buy organic produce at local markets, and you even make sure all your appliances are as efficient as possible. That's great, but what do you do when the furniture needs to be refreshed? Obviously you're not going to call a company that uses harmful chemicals to clean your couch. Those chemicals are terrible for the environment, and more importantly, they don't just stay in your furniture. Slowly, many of those chemicals can evaporate into your home, which you really don't want. and if you have pets, you don't know what kind of effect all those chemicals could have on them.

With your lifestyle, you know the solution already. Keep your house chemical free! Instead of calling the cleaners, use the Tobi Steamer to refresh your furniture. Also, if you use the Tobi on lightly-worn clothes, you can avoid putting them through the wash. And as you already know, the less you use your large appliances, the more environmentally friendly you're being.

Let the Neighbors Think you Bought New Curtains

From dog walkers to the mailman, the one thing everyone in your neighborhood sees is your curtains. You’ve noticed while walking or driving which houses have sheets or tattered curtains in the window. You probably even wondered why they didn’t replace those curtains. Everyone can see them.

Maybe now you find yourself in a situation where you need to replace your curtains but it just isn’t in your budget at this time. You know your neighbors and everyone else driving through the neighborhood notices your curtains are shabby. You are to the point where you’re hoping they don’t find out about your budget problems by noticing your dingy window treatments. So, what should you do?

It’s entirely possible your draperies aren’t desperate to be replaced, but just calling out for a little help. When you refresh your curtains using the Tobi steamer you may find you didn’t need new curtains at all, just plump those fabric loops with steam and you’ll notice a big difference in how your curtains look. Once you steam your curtains, don’t be surprised if your neighbors ask you where you bought them. It’s completely up to you if you tell them your Tobi secret, or keep them guessing about where you got your new curtains.

Moving Into Your First Apartment or Home?

Moving into your first apartment or home can be a very exciting time in a person’s life. It’s your space, and you can make all the choices about decorations, paint, pictures, and the rest of the space that is completely yours.

The only problem is, you’re on a budget.

Luckily you have a few family members willing to clear out basements and storage units to help you whip your new apartment or new home into shape. Now the only problem you have is making sure the smell of your grandmother’s garage or the smell of your uncle’s cigars doesn’t cling to the couch or chairs you have in your living room. It would be awful to have a housewarming party for all your friends only to notice your friends are afraid to sit on your smelly hand-me-down furniture.

What can you do to fix this?

If you refresh your upholstery using the Tobi Steamer the steam action will plump the fabric on your couch and chairs. This plumping action leaves no room for odors that come out as the steam takes the place of the stench coming off of your new furniture. When you steam with Tobi, your furniture will make your friends wonder how you got the money to buy such nice furniture.

Not Just a Clothes Steamer

If you have seen the television ad for the Tobi Steamer you may be thinking that because you don’t have clothing that wrinkles, you don’t have a use for the Tobi. Even though the Tobi Clothes Steamer is the easiest and most effective wrinkle-remover for clothing, if you think that’s all it’s for, you would be wrong.

Tobi for Upholstery – Does your couch look worn out and trampled down? Tobi can steam your couch upholstery back to its former beauty by plumping the fibers and getting rid of odors that have become trapped over time. Even if your kitchen chairs only have cloth on the bottom or if you use chair covers that tie in the back, they can benefit from being steamed instead of washed repeatedly. Washing causes the fibers to break down, and that means you’ll have to replace those covers more often.

Tobi for Curtains – If you have a window you probably have a curtain covering it. All those curtains need to be washed once a year at the very least, but if you maintain your draperies with the Tobi Steamer through the year you may not need to wash them as often. Refreshing the curtains in a room can brighten up the whole room, making the room look brighter because you made them look less dingy.

Thrift Store Couches and Yard Sale Furniture

If you are looking to update your living room and replace your couch, but your budget doesn’t allow you to run to the local furniture store and pick up whatever you point at, thrift stores can get you what you need. Both thrift stores and yard sales have a wide variety of different colors and styles of furniture, and one is sure to fit your needs. One of the first things to look for is the most affluent area that is still within a reasonable driving distance from your home. When people with lots of money get rid of things that are old, they are usually nicer quality than when you go to the local garage sale. How else can you get a five-thousand dollar couch for a hundred dollars?

Once you get your yard sale or thrift store purchase home, you want to get rid of any lingering odors that might be in your new furniture. Even if they’re nice odors, or it just smells like your grandmother’s perfume, you want your couch to be yours, and someone else’s home smells are not part of your decorating scheme. Steaming your new couch with the Tobi can refresh the fabric and remove those lingering odors at the same time, making your new couch truly yours.

When You Want a Really Clean Hotel Room

When you travel for work do you wonder how clean your hotel room really is? No one can know for sure how often the sheets are changed or how often the furniture and upholstery in the hotel room is cleaned professionally. You don’t want to deal with furniture and bedding that is less than clean, do you? If that’s the case the Tobi Travel Garment Steamer can help you with more than just your business suit cleaning.

Start by checking in and taking out your Tobi. Start with the pillows and the bed. Do they smell like bleach? If not you might want to start there so you can let the steam dry before you climb between the sheets. Then move on to the furniture in the room. Steam the chairs and the love seat if your room has one. If you have a cot in the room, you need to make sure it gets steamed because you don’t know where it was in the basement or what it was sitting next to. Steaming can kill anything on that cot that might not be obvious to the naked eye.

Having a clean hotel room will make your whole trip more enjoyable. You can focus on your business or vacation and then you won’t have to wonder if the chair you’re sitting in or the bed you’re sleeping on is really clean.
