TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
TIPS ON HOW TO USE YOUR SYSTEM
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Use the
bristle
brush
.
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 over
the
brush to
remove
excess
moistur
e
and
residue
.
Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless
steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda
water after it is
cleaned.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use
the
bristle brush for grout
,
shower door
tracks,
hard to get area
s
and heavily
soiled area
s.
The window squeegee will
be the most efficient way to clean the rest
of the area. Allow
plenty
of time for the
heat
to penetrate the surface. Thi
s
is
especially
helpful in the shower area if
there is tile or grout. Wipe with towel.
Removal of soap scum on tile
,
grout
,
and
shower
doors
is
also
easier
with the
steam cleaner
.
To clean sanitary fixture
s,
use the
concentrator 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 bristle
brush then fin
ish
by wiping with a towel.
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 terry cloth
towel.
Note:
Soap
scum
sometimes
will
develop a hard surface from waterborne
minerals. If this is the case, use the
bristle brush to break up this surface - 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
surfac
e.
The surface
will
have
a
gritty
feel. If this happens
,
apply vapor to the
surfac
e
with the bristle brush again and
re-clean.
Garden Furniture
Use any of the brushes depending on the
surface area. Work
quickly
when
cleaning resin outdoor furniture. Finish by
wiping with a towel.
Blinds
Use the nylon bristle brush to
clean
blinds
.
Move
the
brush
over the
surface, allowinq enough time for the
vapor to penetrate. Work
quickly
on
PVC blinds
.
Test for color fastne
ss
on
fabric blinds
before
using. Finish
by
wiping with a towel.
Artificial Plants
Use
the concentrator without a brush
attached to blow off the dust and dirt.
Clothing
A vapor clean
ing
system is
excellent
for
removing
wrinkles
from fabrics
.
Simply
"vaporize" the surface from a distance
(12"-18").
The dry vapor remove
s
wrinkles without leaving the fabric wet
like ordinary fabric
steamers
do.
Stretch
the fabric to smooth out the wrinkles.
Nicotine and Tar
Nicotine and tar dissolves at high
temp
eratures
and
becomes
a light
yellow oil that has the consisten
cy
of
sewing
machine
oil.
When
the
nicotine/tar film is
touched
by steam
pocket, it immediately dissolves and
flows into the steam pocket towel. You
can
remove
it from flat surfaces as fast
as you can move the steam pocket over
the surface.
Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.
Many stains are only stuck on the
surfac
e
of materials and can be easily
and quickly removed by "blowinq"
excess material away from the surface
from the
side.
This is accomplished
by
using the
concentrator.
Hold the terry
cloth towel to the side to catch the loose
residue as it is blown
by
the
concentrator.
Note:
Always vacuum any loose
residue off the surface before you apply
vapor to it.
ALWAYS FINISH CLEANING BY WIPING DOWN THE CLEANED SURFACE
WITH A TOWEL.
Refrigerator
Use the concentrator to blow away dirt
in the
ice
machin
e
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 bristle
brush to get into
all
the nooks and
crannies. Mold stains around door
gaskets can be removed with the bristle
brush. To
clean
microwaves or other
small appliances use the nylon bristle
brush for small areas.
Note:
When clean
ing
small electrical
appliances always unplug them from
outlet before cleaning. Do not direct
steam into any openings of the
appliances
.
To clean counter tops, use the soap
brush. For heavily soiled areas
,
use the
soap brush with the soap solution first in
order to
loosen
the debr
is,
then use the
scrubbing pads. Always rinse with the
steam cleaner and then wipe dry with a
terry cloth towel to finish
.
Hints
The steam cleaner has many uses that
have
not
been mentioned.
This
was
meant only to give you a general idea of
what can be achieved with the unit.
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. When cleaning the
bristle
brushes,
use a pair of
pliers
to
hold and blow dirt as above or place in
the basket of your
dishwasher.
Note:
Wipe
with a towel immediately
before the cleaned
area
dries. When
cleaning the oven
,
use the bristle brush
to clean around the elements and
drip
trays
. Use
the
bristle
brush for crack
s,
crevices ,
and hard to reach areas.
