Work Techniques
8
Floors
ØTile –Va c u u m o r p r e -sweep, then use a large floor or triangle brush at low or medium steam.
ØTile Grout –Use the 1” nylon round brush on low or medium steam.
ØMarble 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.
ØVinyl or Wood –Use the large floor brush with a bonnet at low steam volume.
WHEN STEAMING AWOOD 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 thi s steam clea ner for cleaning la rge car peted areas but rather f or spot
cleaning. Carpet fibers melt at temperatures 300ºF and above.
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" above surface. Hold a towel on the other side to catch the residue. This
prevents driving the particles deeper into the fibers.
Kitchen
ØSink: Use the 3” nylon round brush or small triangular brush with the 3-hole nozzle on
medium steam.
ØStovetop: Use the 3” round brush or small triangular brush with the 3-hole nozzle at

ØBurners: Use the 1” round brush attached to the 1-hole nozzle for cleaning burners.
ØOven Interior: Use the 1” brass round brush attached to the 1-hole nozzle.
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.
ØUse large triangle brush with bonnet.
ØSteam mattresses, areas around bed, and all base boards.
ØBugs will die on contact so you will need to vacuum over treated areas.
ØMattress will be damp so let it air dry before putting on linens.
ØIt may take more than one cleaning to kill all bugs and larva.
