Rating Disclaimer
Reviewing products, like reviewing movies or restaurants, is arguably a subjective process (even for well-funded consumer groups) based on the review criteria (what the reviewer considers important) and the unique perspective of the reviewer. Thus, when considering The Healthy House Institute's reviews, please do not use the numerical product ratings (e.g., "9.5 out of 10") for direct product comparison purposes since these represent the unique 'take' of each reviewer, and will often vary qualitatively and quantitatively from product to product.
Do rely on the text of the reviews for issues to consider when purchasing similar products, and do consider the scientific data supplied (for example, information from the Carpet and Rug Institute's Seal of Approval-related research) that will help you in your decision making process. We believe the "truth" about products can only be discovered by weighing, then averaging, a number of factors and credible viewpoints based on available resources and science, then making buying decisions based on what is important to you.

What is the Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner? The Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner works by taking normal tap water and heating it in a boiler until it turns to super-heated steam. The steam is released under pressure and is capable of cleaning virtually every surface in your home with water alone. This is great for asthma and allergy sufferers because the chemicals in cleaning products can sometimes trigger asthma and allergy symptoms. review continues below ↓
Cleaning with the Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner Enough accessories are available for the Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner that you should never want for a tool to do a job. The Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner comes with the following attachments: - Floor cleaning attachment
- Triangular brush
- Window squeegee
- Two extension wands
- Two nylon brushes
- Scraper tool
- Nozzle brush
Several optional attachments include: - A professional steam iron
- Stainless steel pads
- Brass bristle brushes
- Stainless bristle brushes
The Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner that I reviewed included all available accessories. Using the optional stainless steel brushes, the Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner becomes an excellent oven cleaner. Oven cleaning products tend to be some of the most bothersome products for asthmatics to use because of the strong fumes they produce. The Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner can clean your oven just as well as common oven cleaners — using water alone.
The Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner’s large floor-cleaning attachment combined with the super-heated steam allows you to remove stains and sticky spills with ease. The floor-cleaning brush has hard bristles for use outdoors, or for really dirty indoor floors. Or, cover the brush with a terry cloth towel (included with purchase) for normal floor cleaning. I also used the Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner and the triangular brush attachment to clean my bathtub, where it powered through soap scum with ease.
A favorite feature of mine on the Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner is the non-pressurized boiler. This allows you to add water on the go, without having to wait for the unit to cool down. An audio and visual alarm announces low water levels, and cold water heats quickly.
All told, the Ladybug XL Steam Cleaner’s ability to clean virtually every surface in the home without the use of chemicals can make a huge difference in many asthma and allergy sufferers’ lives.
