How to Use Your Steam Cleaner Effectively: Tips and Techniques
Do you own or are thinking of owning a steam cleaner, but unsure of how to properly operate it for the best results? If so, then you have come to the right place.
Here at Pressure Solutions, we are a leading supplier of steam cleaners and pressure washers in Auckland and beyond, and our experts are here to help you better understand how to use your steam cleaner effectively.
Here are our top tips and techniques when it comes to using a steam cleaner to its fullest potential:
1. Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions
Always read the manufacturer’s instructions when it comes to using a steam cleaner, no matter how experienced you are. This is particularly important if you have bought a new steam cleaner—not all steam cleaners work the same, and in some cases, some will have more features than others (which you can take advantage of!). Some types of steam cleaners are also designed to be used with detergents, but this isn’t always the case. As a result, following the manufacturer’s guide is a must to ensure that you’re using the equipment correctly without damaging it.
2. Only Use on Suitable Surfaces
Steam cleaners aren’t meant to be used on all surfaces—there are certain surfaces and situations where a steam cleaner is not the solution, including porous surfaces and walls in a water-based paint. If you think that the surface shouldn’t be exposed to heat or steam vapour, then it’s probably best to leave it alone.
3. Allow it to Heat Up
A steam cleaner will need some time to heat up before you can use it properly, so make sure to give it time to heat up before attempting to use it. Trying to use a steam cleaner before it’s ready for use means that you aren’t effectively cleaning surfaces, and in some cases, the steam cleaner might not work at all.
