STEAM CLEANER TIPS & REMINDERS
Steam cleaning allows the user to clean chemical-free by
using the power of steam, in place of harsh chemical-based
cleaners. The heat from the steam softens and loosens dirt
on surfaces, while the steam pressure lifts the dirt away. All
that is left to do is to wipe the surface to remove the dirt and
moisture using a cloth (preferably with a microfiber cloth).
TIP: To get the best cleaning results use a microfiber cloth to wipe
the dirt and moisture from the surface being cleaned. Microfiber
is designed to pick up and hold dirt, a great aid in lifting and
removing the dirt that the steam cleaner has softened and
loosened. Also, Microfiber requires moisture to glide over surfaces,
the steam cleaner provides moisture that the Microfiber needs to
glide. Microfiber and Steam, a great cleaning combination!
MAKING CONTACT WITH SURFACES
The steam is at its hottest just as it leaves the nozzle/accessory.
This is the area of the steam output that should be used to clean
to achieve maximum performance. All accessories should make
direct contact with the surfaces being cleaned to transfer the
heat from the Steam Cleaner to the surface in order to soften and
loosen dirt. If the accessory being used does not make contact
with the surface, the desired results may not be achieved. If
assistance is required contact our Customer Support Line.
TIP: Steam will clean hard, sealed, non-porous surfaces in
place of harsh chemical-based cleaners and detergents. For
soft furnishings such as carpets, rugs, lounges, children's toys,
etc, steam will refresh, sanitize, and deodorize the fibers. Steam
is not used to clean carpets, other than to spot clean. To clean
carpets properly, carpet cleaning equipment should be used.
WATER
Use ordinary tap water for all cleaning. In hard water areas,
we recommend distilled or demineralized water to reduce the
formation of calcium and other mineral deposits in the Steam
Cleaner. Use distilled or demineralized water when steaming light
colored fabrics to eliminate the possibility of hard water stains.
IMPORTANT: Do not add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or
any other chemicals to the water used in the Boiler.
