No Chemicals, No mess! Using roughly a quart of tap water per hour, these quiet, portable multi-purpose appliances create a high-heat, low-moisture vapor that thoroughly removes contaminants and leaves any surface free of chemical residue.
We are a Premier Dealer and Warranty Station for all of Advanced Vapor Technologies products, We carry several models of the Ladybug lineup, most are available with the specialized TANCS (Thermo Accelerated Nano Crystal Sanitation)system. Ladybug can introduce a whole new type of cleaning to your household and save you money on chemicals the more you incorporate steaming into your cleaning methods. There is a lot of technical information to be learned about the Ladybug's and steam cleaning in general. So feel free to come into our store with questions and asked for a demonstration!

Benefits of Ladybug Technology
- Steam vapor reaches into microscopic pores where topical chemical applications and scrubbing would never reach.
- Destruction of embedded bacteria and germs that cause lingering odor with traditional cleaning methods.
- Results are dramatic and virtually immediate.
- Because the process is so effective, results last longer between cleanings.
- Savings in time and effort.
- Simplification of cleaning protocols— no disinfectant mixing, storage, disposal concerns, lengthy dwell time requirements, or confusing label directions.
- Elimination and control of the biofilms that resist typical disinfectants.
- Reduced chemical exposure risks.
- Minerals are utilized by TANCS instead of building up on internal components. The resulting elimination of scale allows for an extended warranty on the steam boiler.
- Disinfecting powers reach far beyond what you can see.
Benefits of a Continuous-Fill Steam Vapor System In a continuous-fill steam vapor system, a non-pressurized, non-heated water reservoir allows water to be added at any time. That means no downtime when the system needs water. No safety caps to worry about, no concern for adding water to a hot tank, no potential for overfilling the boiler. Plus, you get faster start-up times. And, because water is injected into the boiler automatically as it is consumed, the independent boiler maintains steam even as water is added to the reservoir. As a result, this unique system has steam available, whenever you need it.

The TANCS System:
TANCS uses the natural occurring minerals in tap water to form crystals. As these crystals pass through the boiler they gain energy from the heat. Then, when the water transforms into super-heated low-moisture steam, these energized crystals are accelerated along with the steam. This process helps disrupt the cell membrane, allowing lethal temperatures to quickly destroy the germs. This activity is confined to the surface being treated or cleaned and is lethal for germs and yet safe for you!
Qualified Disinfection Device
With the TANCS option, the system qualifies as a disinfection device for the US EPA*, in addition to adding 5-years to your boilers warranty!
For years, bleach(sodium hypochlorite) has been mistakenly associated with an absolutely clean and disinfected surface. Today, scientists are becoming more aware of the limitations of chemical disinfectants and sanitizers. Recent studies investigating biofilms (microbe colonies present on many pieces of food processing equipment, for example) reveal that 60 minutes of exposure to bleach leaves as many live cells as dead cells in the biofilm matrix. This leads to rapid recolonization of the surface. Studies show that sufficient heat as is present in the TANCS Steam Vapor System, will travel through the biofilm and kill the cells that are unreachable by the surface application of a germicide. All without degrading the surface you’re cleaning or impairing the air you’re breathing while you’re doing it!

Better Than Bleach According to Chuanwu Xi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Health at the University of Michigan, steam cleaners equipped with Ladybug’s proprietary patented TANCS technology achieve a greater kill rate in 3 seconds than a 20-minute exposure to bleach.
Wipes Out MRSA According to Benjamin Tanner, Ph.D., President of Antimicrobial Test Laboratories, TANCS equipped steam cleaners wipe out MRSA and VRE super-bugs in 5 seconds with “a level of performance that chemical disinfectants may never achieve,” and eradicate the NDM-1 strain of Klebsiella pneumonia bacteria on a hard surface within 2 seconds.
