5. Operation
First test on a less visible area whether the material to be cleaned is suitable for high pressure steam, for instance:
•Painted wood or leather can be bleached by steam.
•Unprotected wood can swell.
•Protective wax coatings can be remo- ved by steam.
•Plastics can be melted by steam.
•Soft plastics can deform when ex- posed to steam.
•Cold glass or mirror surfaces can snap when encountering hot steam. If you wish to clean windows, you must first preheat them, for instance by applying the steam over large areas from a greater distance, then moving it progressively closer.
•Acrylic, velvit and linen react sensitive- ly to hot steam, as do plastic fibres.
