Hints
ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING
When using your Steam Cleaner, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:
surface, allowing enough time for the vapor to penetrate. Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for color fastness on fabric blinds before using. Finish by wiping with a towel.
Automotive
For detailing the wheels, use the concentrator and the bristle brush. Exterior windows are cleaned best by using the window squeegee.
To clean bicycles, use the bristle brush. To clean equipment, use the bristle brush, depending on the surface area. Finish by wiping down with a towel.
Artificial Plants
Use the concentrator without a brush attached to blow off the dust and dirt.
Clothing
A vapor cleaning system is excellent for removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply “vaporize” the surface from a distance
Nicotine and Tar
Nicotine and tar dissolves at high temperatures and becomes a light yellow oil that has the consistency of sewing machine oil. When the nicotine/tar film is touched by steam pocket, it immediately dissolves and flows into the steam pocket towel. You can remove it from flat surfaces as fast as you can move the steam pocket over the surface.
Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.
Many stains are only stuck on the surface of materials and can be easily and quickly removed by “blowing” excess material away from the surface from the side. This is accomplished by using the concentrator. Hold the terry cloth towel to the side to catch the loose residue as it is blown by the
DOWN THE CLEANED SURFACE WITH A
TOWEL
The steam cleaner has many uses that have not been mentioned. This was meant only to give you a general idea of what can be achieved with the unit. However, the ways in which to use the attachments and brushes are in most cases universal. It is most helpful to always have a terry cloth towel or paper towel ready to use for removal of moisture and residue. 100% white cotton towels work best.
You can clean the brushes with your steam cleaner. When cleaning the detail brush, use a pair of pliers to hold and blow dirt as above or place in the basket of your dishwasher.
Note: Wipe with a towel immediately before the cleaned area dries. When cleaning the oven, use the detail brush to clean around the elements and drip trays. Use the detail brush for cracks, crevices, and hard to reach areas.
Refrigerator - Use the concentrator to blow away dirt in the ice machine and on door seals. The vapor will not dry out or crack the seals as chemicals often do. Can openers and other kitchen equipment can be easily cleaned with the detail brush to get into all the nooks and crannies. Mold stains around door gaskets can be removed with the detail brush.
To clean microwaves or other small appliances use the detail brush for small areas.
Note: When cleaning small electrical appliances always unplug them from outlet before cleaning.
To clean counter tops, use the steam pocket frame and steam pocket. For heavily soiled areas, use the detail brush first in order to loosen the debris, then follow with a terry cloth towel to
