Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors

Use the floor brush with the cleaning cloth attached and move it with strokes over the

area to be cleaned. When one side of the towel is soiled, you can turn it over and use the

other side. If you are working on a very dirty area, you can move the floor brush very

slowly, several times. If it is a wood floor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture build up in

the wood.

To Clean Waxed Floors: use the floor brush with the cleaning cloth with quick strokes.

This will cause the dirt to be removed but not the wax.

Vinyl Floors: do not allow heat to build up in any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it

enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.

Tile Floors: use the concentrator with the bristle brush attached to an extension. Have

the floor brush ready as well. Clean the grout between the tiles with the bristle brush.

Remove the bristle brush and attach the floor brush, move the floor brush across the

floor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue. Do not let the area dry

before you wipe with a towel.

Spot Cleaning (Carpets):

Use the concentrator with or without the bristle brush. Move slowly over the soiled area,

allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate with bristle brush or clean towel. Dab the spot

with the towel (do not rub). Repeat as necessary to remove stain. Vacuum only after the

carpet has completely dried. Always test colour fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous

area before cleaning. If your steam cleaner fails to remove stubborn stains a

commercially available carpet shampoo may be required. Do NOT add cleaning

solutions, scented perfumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water used in this

appliance as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use.

Caution: Always determine the colour-fastness of any fabric-especially with reds or blues

-by taking a clean, moist, warm towel and gently rubbing a small area as far down on the

back or other out of the way place on the furniture as possible. If colour comes off on the

towel, you may need to have the piece dry cleaned.

Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors

Use the window squeegee. Work with the vapour jet on using the top to bottom

movements. Use the squeegee with the vapour off to clear the water from the glass. To

do this without leaving streaks, use lateral movements from the top to the bottom of the

surface.

Caution: when cleaning windows, always avoid any sudden changes in temperature to

prevent glass breakage or cracks.

Fibreglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces

Use the bristle brush. Slowly move the brush over the surface to be cleaned. The vapour

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.
