icecreamdogpark

Ok i`ve bought the above and love it ,anyone got any steam cleaning tips?

So far i`ve done taps,windows,door seals and some very very dirty window seals (which we inherited with the house that i`ve ignored for 3 years only opening the top windows where we can`t see the dirt lol;) )

Thanks

mine gets used to clean the inside of my fridge, inside kitchen cupboards, cooker top, oven and grill, door sills, in the car when it got puked on, the bathroom tile grout, the shower screen, anywhere where I don't think that steam will hurt it and the best bit is, because its a gadget DH likes using it too so he's just done the freezer which was all iced up

I've used mine tonight and and cleaned the powder/conditioner drawer on the washing machine and the water jets above it.

I use my Earlex steamer when defrosting the freezer! (my NEXT freezer is going to be 'frost free' as even with the steamer I absolutely, bluddy HATE doing it).
its also useful for steaming the mattresses - keeps the dust mite population down.

Hi there,

caught this thread and thought I would warn people against what happened to me.

I was cleaning the tiled window sill in bathroom with steam cleaner and 'BAM!' the double glazed window glass cracked.

Thermal shock - cold outside + hot steam = Arrrgghh!

Am now going to have to get window replaced. Pattern now unobtainable and two other window and a door in the same pattern! So I am miffed beyond anguish.

Never again. Will only use for floors and sanitary ware from now on.
