Tips On How To Use Your System Water • Use tap water for all your cleaning needs. • However, if you live in an area with hard water, use demineralized/distilled water when cleaning light colored fabrics to eliminate the possibility of hard water stains. Temperature • The vapor temperature at the tip of the nozzles is between 220°F and 240 °F. • The temperature of the vapor falls to 100 °F at a distance of 10 inches from the nozzle. Warning: A towel wrapped around the brush can become hot enough to burn.
Using Your Vapor Steam Cleaner Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors Use the large floor brush with a terry cloth attached. Move the brush across the floor as if you are mopping. When the towel is soiled, you can turn the towel over or replace it with a clean towel. If you are working on a very dirty area, you can move the brush over the area slowly, several times. If it is a wood floor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture buildup in the wood.
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces Use small nylon detail 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 moisture and residue. Tip: An old idea for polishing stainless steel is to wipe it down with seltzer soda water after it is cleaned. Soap Scum Soap scum dissolves almost immediately under a combination of heat and moisture.
Nicotine and Tar Nicotine and tar dissolves at high temperatures and becomes a light yellow oil that has the consistency of sewing machine oil. When the nicotine/tar film is touched by a hot terry cloth towel clipped over the rectangular brush, it immediately dissolves and flows into the towel. You can remove it from flat surfaces as fast as you can move the brush over the surface. Removing Wax, Tar, Etc.
