Upholstery: Use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush with a clean White Terry Cloth Towel. Use fast, light strokes, avoid getting the fabric wet. When cleaning silk, warm up the towel and then turn off the vapor entirely before touching the fabric. If the towel is too hot to touch with your hand, it is too hot for silk. Be patient with stubborn spots; work on a spot gently for no more than a minute at a time, then wait five 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 fibers. Finish with a brushing in one direction that will give the fabric a uniform appearance. Caution: Always determine the color-fastness of any fabric - especially with reds or blues - by taking a clean, moist, warm towel and gently rubbing a small inconspicuous area. If color comes off on the towel, you may need to have the piece dry-cleaned.

Window, Glass Surfaces, and Mirrors: Use the Glass and Tile Squeegee. Work with the vapor jet down using top to bottom movements. Use the squeegee with the vapor off to clear the water from the glass. To do this without leaving streaks, use lateral movements from the top to the bottom of the surface.

Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces: Use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush or Concentrator Nozzle. Slowly move the brush over the surface to be cleaned. The vapor will emulsify the dirt and grease on the surface. Follow behind with a terry cloth towel attached to the brush to remove excess moisture and residue.

Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless steel is to wipe it down with soda water after it is cleaned.

Soap Scum: Soap scum dissolves almost immediately under a combination of heat and moisture. Rinse the surface with a small amount of water afterwards or go back over it once more with a clean white terry cloth towel.

Note: Soap scum sometimes will develop a hard surface from waterborne minerals. If this is the case, use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush with no towel first to break up this surface - or spray or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or soda water to soften the minerals.

Moving too slowly can dry out the soap scum and cause it to granulate on the surface. The surface will have a gritty feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the surface with the open brush again and re-clean.

Garden Furniture: Use any of the brushes depending on the surface area. Work quickly when cleaning resin on outdoor furniture.

Blinds: Use the Small Detail Brush to clean blinds. Move the brush over the surface, allowing enough time for the vapor to penetrate. Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for color fastness on fabric blinds before using.

Bathroom Areas: To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the Small Detail Brush for grout, shower door tracks, hard to get areas and heavily soiled areas. The Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush with a Terry Cloth Towel attached will be the most
