Bathroom areas:
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the bristle brush for grouting, shower door tracks, hard to
reach areas and heavily soiled areas. The window squeegee will be the most efficient way to clean
the rest of the bathroom. Allow plenty of time for the heat to penetrate the surface. This is
especially helpful in the shower area when cleaning tiles and grouting. Wipe with a towel. Removal
of soap scum on tiles, grouting and shower doors is very easy with the steam cleaner. To clean taps
and fixtures, use the concentrator nozzle with or without bristle brush. Use a terry cloth towel or
paper towel to wipe up excess moisture and residue. To clean the sink and faucets, use the bristle
brush then finish by wiping with a towel.
Soap scum:
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately with a combination of heat and moisture. Rinse the
surface with a small amount of water afterwards or steam again with a clean terry cloth towel.
Note: soap scum will sometimes develop a crust from waterborne minerals. If this is the case, use
the bristle brush to break up this crust– or spray or wipe first with lemon, vinegar or seltzer 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 steam to the
surface with the bristle brush again and re‐clean.
Blinds:
Use the bristle brush to clean blinds. Move the brush over the surface, allowing enough time for
the steam to penetrate. Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for colour fastness on fabric blinds before
using. Finish by wiping with a towel.
Artificial plants:
Use the concentrator nozzle without a brush attached to blow off the dust and dirt.
Clothing:
A steam cleaning system is excellent for removing wrinkles from fabrics. Simply steam the surface
from a distance (30 – 45 cm). The dry steam removes wrinkles without leaving the fabric wet.
Nicotine and tar:
Nicotine and tar dissolves at high temperatures and turns into a yellow oil. When the nicotine/tar
film is touched by the cleaning cloth, it immediately dissolves and flows into the cloth. You can
remove it from flat surfaces as fast as you can move the floor brush with cleaning cloth over the
surface.
Removing wax, tar, etc.:
Many stains are attached to the surface of materials only and can be easily removed by "blowing"
excess material away from the surface. This is done with the use of the concentrator nozzle aimed
at the side of the stain. Hold the terry cloth towel to the other side to catch loose residue as it is
blown away by the concentrator nozzle. Always vacuum any loose residue off the surface before
you apply steam.
Kitchen:
Use the concentrator nozzle to blow away any dirt in the refrigerator and on door seals. The steam
will not dry out or crack the seals which chemicals often do. Can openers and other kitchen
equipment can be easily cleaned with the bristle brush to get into all nooks and crannies. Mould
stains around door gaskets can be removed with the bristle brush. When cleaning small electrical
