Using Your Steam Cleaner
Using Your Steam Cleaner
9 Usage Suggestions (continued)
CAUTION: Always determine the
color-fastness of any fabric –
especially with reds or blues – by
taking a clean, damp, warm towel
and gently rubbing a small hidden
part of the furniture. If color comes
off on the towel, you may need to
have the piece dry cleaned.
Window, Glass Surfaces and
Mirrors
Use the Window Squeegee.
Work with the steam jet on, using
top to bottom movements. Use
Squeegee with the steam off to
clear water from the glass. To do
this without streaking, use lateral
movements from the top to the
bottom of the surface.
Blinds
Use the Nylon Detail Brush to clean
blinds. Move Brush over the surfa-
ce, allowing enough time for the
steam to penetrate.
Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test
for color fastness on fabric blinds
before using.
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel
Surfaces
Use Floor Brush or Nylon Detail
Brush. Slowly move Brush over the
surface to be cleaned. The steam
will emulsify the dirt and grease
on the surface. Follow with Cotton
Cloth over Floor Brush to remove
excess moisture and residue.
Tip: An old polishing method for
stainless steel is to wipe it down
with soda water after it’s cleaned.
Soap Scum
Soap scum dissolves almost imme-
diately under a combination of
heat and moisture. Rinse surface
afterward with a small amount
of water or go back over it once
more with a clean cotton cloth.
NOTE: Soap scum will sometimes
develop a hard surface from
waterborne minerals. If this is the
case, use Floor Brush (no Cloth) to
break up this surface. Or, spray
or wipe rst with lemon, vinegar
or soda water to soften minerals.
Moving too slowly can dry out the
Polished Floors: Wrap clean Cloth
around Floor Brush, brush quickly.
This will cause dirt to be removed
but not the wax.
Vinyl Floors: Work quickly and
do not allow heat to build up on
any kind of vinyl – it can affect its
texture.
Tile Floors: Clean grout between
tiles using the Detail Nozzle and
Nylon Detail Brush. Use Floor Brush
with Cloth attached to clean tiles.
Move Floor Brush slowly across the
oor to remove excess moisture
and residue.
For tile areas that are very dirty,
remove the Cloth and agitate with
Brush. Do not let area dry before
you wipe it up.
Spot Cleaning (Carpets)
Use the Detail Nozzle with or without
the Nylon Detail Brush. Move slowly
over soiled area, allowing steam
to penetrate. Agitate with Detail
Brush or clean Cloth. Dab the spot
with Cloth (do not rub). Repeat as
necessary to remove stain. Vacuum
only after the carpet has comple-
tely dried. Always test color fastness
of carpet in an inconspicuous area
before cleaning. If your Steam Cle-
aner fails to remove stubborn stains,
a commercially available carpet
shampoo may be required.
DO NOT add cleaning solutions,
perfumes, oils or any other
chemicals to the water used in this
appliance. This may damage the
unit or make it unsafe for use.
Upholstery
Use Floor Brush (with Cloth), atta-
ched directly to the Steam Gun.
Use fast, light strokes, and avoid
getting the fabric wet. Be patient
with stubborn spots. Work on a spot
gently for no more than a minute at
a time, then wait 5 minutes for the
area to dry and repeat. Use circular
movements or back-and-forth and
side-to-side movements to get all
sides of surface bers. Finish by
brushing in one direction to give the
fabric a uniform appearance.
