14. HOW TO CLEAN
Floors
a. Tile – Vacuum or pre-sweep then use a large floor or triangle brush at low or medium steam.
b. Tile Grout – Use the 1-inch nylon round brush with the 1-hole nozzle on low or medium steam.
c. Vinyl or Wood – Use the large floor brush with a bonnet at low steam.
NOTE: WHEN STEAMING A WOOD FLOOR, NEVER LET BRUSH STAND IN ONE PLACE
WHILE STEAM TRIGGER IS ON. ALWAYS KEEP BRUSH MOVING. GO OVER AREA TWO OR
THREE TIMES AS NEEDED.
g. Marble Floors - Use the same techniques as used for wood floors, keeping heat and moisture
off the surface as much as possible. Always use Marble conditioner after cleaning. NOTE: SOME
MARBLE SURFACES CAN DISCOLOR.
Carpets
We do not recommend this steam cleaner for cleaning large carpeted areas but rather for spot
cleaning. Carpet fibers melt at temperatures 300ºF and above. The heat from the vapor
system should not melt the fibers, but it can change their shape or color at temperatures
185ºF-250ºF.
Use large floor or triangle brush on medium steam setting, 2 inches above carpet, and pre-steam a
6x6 foot area. The steam will cause the dirt and soil particles to loosen their grip on the carpet
fibers and opens up the fibers. Then use a large brush with a bonnet on medium steam pressure
and go over pre-steamed area with same movements as when you vacuum. Change towels when
dirty. Repeat these steps if necessary.
Tips for Treating Carpet Stains
If the stain is only on the surface of the carpet, it can be removed by shooting the steam against the
spot from the side, 1-2 inches above surface. Hold a towel on the other side to catch the residue.
This prevents driving the particles deeper into the fibers.
Kitchen
Sink
Use the 3-inch nylon round or small triangular brush with the 3-hole nozzle on medium steam.
Stovetop
Use the 3-inch round brush or small triangular brush with the 3-hole nozzle at low/medium steam.
Use the 1-inch round brush attached to the 1-hole nozzle for cleaning burners.
Oven Interior
Use the 1-inch brass round brush with the 1-hole nozzle.
DO NOT SCRUB SURFACE. THIS MAY DAMAGE THE ENAMEL.
Countertops

or medium steam. Wipe with clean cotton towel.
b. Method 2 - Use the large triangular brush with a bonnet. Pre-heat towel 3 to 5 seconds. Clean
