WARNING: Your hand steamer is designed to clean your hard surfaces that will withstand high heat. Do not use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramics. On surfaces that have been treated with wax or some no wax floors, the sheen may be removed by the heat and steam action. It is always recommended to test an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also recommend that you check the use and care instructions from the surface manufacturer.
