steam hose and the 1-hole nozzle.

Work Techniques
8"
The temperature of the steam at the tip of the nozzle is between 312ºF - 285ºF, it
cools to 245ºF 4” from the nozzle tip and 185ºF 8” inches from the nozzle tip.
Most bacteria begins to die when exposed to temperatures of 245ºF so keeping the
tip of the handle close to the work area is key to successful cleaning.
Floors
Ø Tile – Vacuum or pre-sweep then use a large floor or triangle brush at low or medium steam.
Ø Tile Grout – Use the 1-inch nylon round brush on low or medium steam.
Ø 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. SOME
MARBLE SURFACES CAN DISCOLOR.
Ø Vinyl or Wood – Use the large floor brush with a bonnet at low steam volume.
!
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.
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.
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.
Bed Bugs & Dust Mites
Bed bugs and dust mites live close to their food source. Steam will kill bed bugs on
contact.
To eliminate, you must kill the bugs and their larva.
Ø Use large triangle brush with bonnet.
Ø Steam mattresses, areas around bed, and all base boards.
Ø Bugs will die on contact so you will need to vacuum over treated areas.
Ø Mattress will be damp so let it air dry before putting on linens.
Ø It may take more than one cleaning to kill all bugs and larva.
