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 a hot terry cloth towel clipped over the rectangular brush, it immediately dissolves and flows into the towel. You can remove it from flat surfaces as fast as you can move the brush 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 detail attachment. Hold the terry cloth towel to the side to catch the loose residue as it is blown by the detailer. Note: Always vacuum any loose residue off the surface before you apply vapor to it.
Hints
The Steam Steam Cleaner has many uses that are not stated above. This was meant only to give you a general idea of what can be achieved with the Steam Cleaner system. 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. For the larger pieces, hold at one end and use the detail attachment without a brush attached to simply blow off dirt into the garbage can. For the small detail brush, use a pair of pliers to hold and blow dirt as above or place in the basket of your dishwasher.
Use the Steam Cleaner for pet spots. It will clean urine and other stains, as well as odor, from the carpet and upholstery.
Refrigerator - Use the nozzle 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 nylon detail brush on the nozzle to get into all the nooks and crannies.
Mold stains around door gaskets can be removed with the small nylon detail brush.
To clean microwaves or other appliances use the nylon detail brush for small areas and the rectangular brush with terry cloth towel for larger areas.
To clean counter tops, use the rectangular brush with a terry cloth towel attached. For heavily soiled areas, use the brush without the terry cloth towel first in order to loosen the debris, then follow with a terry cloth towel attached to finish.
