How Do You Clean A Steam Cleaner?
Although the exteriors of steam cleaners—upright or handheld suction and nonsuction models—vary by manufacturer in the terms of color and shape, most steam cleaners have the same basic design that includes nozzles, attachments, a hose and a water tank for water recovery or steam generation. As a result, cleaning a steam cleaner only requires learning a few tricks for removing and dislodging dirt and debris based on your model type—suction or nonsuction. Rinse your steam cleaner unit’s floor nozzle. Pour 2 cups of water on a noncarpeted, floor and suck the water from the floor through the nozzle. Repeat as necessary to dislodge all dirt and debris from the nozzle. If your unit’s model has a floor nozzle cleaning tool, slide it back-and-forth inside the nozzle to dislodge debris. Fill a sink or bucket with warm, soapy water. Clean your unit’s hose. Suck soapy water from the sink and then clean water to rinse. Hold the hose parallel with your body to drain any water remaining in it
