It's one of the most trusted and highly rated home steam cleaners, and this week, I'm giving away a  Kärcher SC2 steam cleaner worth R2 299, which I reviewed last week here.

Steam cleaners might not be the "sexiest" products to give away, and you might be wondering how one could make your iife better, so here are a few reasons why you *need* one (from someone who has only recently discovered the steam dream):

– The Kärcher SC2.500C is a single tank powerful cylinder-style steam cleaner. Other models in the range offer with twin tanks: one stores cold water, the other boils it to create steam. That means that it offers non-stop cleaning – you can top up the water tank at any time without disrupting the boiler.

– The Kärcher has a cylinder, not upright, design. This means it can clean everything from floors and counters to hobs, toilets and kitchen and bathroom fittings

– It's especially effective for the removal of mildew.

– It cleans areas of your home effectively, and you need nothing but water from your tap – no cleaning detergents or materials required!

– It's lightweight (less than 3kg) and really easy to manoevre and reach dirty spots. 

– There's a range of nozzles and attachments so you can use it on lots of surfaces, and hard-to-reach spots. 

– There's a child lock, so that kids can't get hold of it and use it improperly

– It can be used to clean floors, taps, wash basins, wall tiles, windows, mirrors, extractor hoods and hobs.
