Steam cleaning allows the user to clean chemical-free by using the power
of steam, in place of harsh chemical-based detergents. The heat from
the steam softens and loosens dirt on surfaces, while the steam pressure
lifts the dirt away. All that is left to do is to wipe the surface to remove the
dirt and moisture using a microfibre cloth or cleaning cloth if the surface is
soiled or greasy.
TIP: to get the best cleaning results use a microfibre cloth to wipe the
dirt and moisture from the surface being cleaned. Microfibre is designed
to pick up and hold dirt, a great aid in lifting and removing the dirt that
the steam cleaner has softened and loosened. Also, Microfibre requires
moisture to glide over surfaces, the steam cleaner provides moisture
that the Microfibre needs to glide. Microfibre and Steam, a great
cleaning combination!
Making Contact with Surfaces
The steam is at its hottest just as it leaves the nozzle/accessory. This is
the area of the steam output that should be used to clean to achieve
maximum performance. All accessories should make direct contact with
the surfaces being cleaned to transfer the heat from the Steam Cleaner
to the surface in order to soften and loosen dirt. If the accessory being
used does not make contact with the surface, the desired results may not
be achieved. If assistance is required contact our Customer Support Line.
TIP: steam will clean hard, sealed, non-porous surfaces in place of harsh
chemical-based cleaners and detergents. For soft furnishings such
as carpets, rugs, lounges, children's toys etc, steam will refresh and
deodorise the fibres. Steam is not used to clean carpets, other than to
spot clean. To clean carpets proper carpet cleaning equipment should
be used.
Water
Use ordinary tap water for all cleaning. In hard water areas, we
recommend distilled or demineralised water to reduce the formation of
calcium and other mineral deposits in the Steam Cleaner. Use distilled or
demineralised water when steaming light coloured fabrics to eliminate
the possibility of hard water stains.
IMPORTANT: Do not add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils or any other
chemicals to the water used in the Boiler. This will damage the Steam
Cleaner and void the warranty.
Temperature
The temperature in the stainless steel Boiler reaches about 130°C. The
d
steam temperature just outside the tip of the nozzle/accessory is between
y.
105°C and 115°C. The temperature of the steam falls to 38°C at a distance
of 25cm from nozzle. This Steam Cleaner produces a drier steam which
cools very rapidly to avoid burns and injuries. Steam must make direct
contact with surfaces for it to clean effectively.
TIP: the hot steam can be used to kill dust mites in soft furnishings and
mattresses. Steam cleaning is ideal for asthma sufferers, persons with
skin sensitivities and anyone with chemical sensitivities.
