Stardrops in steamer?

(Not the food type steamer!)
Has anyone tried using stardrops in a steamer to clean their carpets?

I know when I was reading the back of mine yesterday it mentioned something about you could use it in a steamer, but I think it might be as well as something else..nope wasn't on the back of the bottle. It might have been there website..I know I definately read it though as I thought what a good idea especially as my carpet needs doing.

You could always test it on a bit thats under a sofa or something before hand.

Wouldn't the bubbles cause some problems ,I always thought you should never use anything other than water in a steamer.

That's what I thought but maybe a few drops would be OK?

My steamer only steams and doesn't hoover up the water afterwards so I thought I could vacuum when it was dry to pick up any loosened dirt.

Just wondered if anyone had tried this before I do it and maybe ruin the steamer!

I don't put the stardrops in the steamer I put a few drops on the Flannel/cloth thing that goes over the bottom of the steamer, never have any problems with that and usually gets everyting out of the carpet - and it smells nice too.

I would go along with 'Alice's mum. '

The steam would be only water vapour.

That's a good idea, I'll give it a try. Thank you!
