TEST 2. Checking safety.
The boilerās water inlet is sealed with a lid, so itās safe! āThe gunā is equipped with a safety valve against accidental delivery of steam, by closing it, you can safely change nozzles, as the steam release button is blocked.
TEST 3. Getting ready to work.
Pour water using the funnel and cup with spout, which are included by the way, to avoid the formation of limescale, it is necessary to use filtered water .
We turn on the device and measure the time: how many minutes before the device is ready for use?? Of course, the results depend on the temperature and the water in the tank, but the average time is 10 minutes with a full tank.
TEST #4. Clean tiles in the bathroom.
The spaces between the plates have long been bothered by gray deposits, which can not be cleaned in any way. Rubbing them is a bit risky: the grout is old and can crumble, and repairs are not part of the plan.
It turned out that a powerful jet of steam is enough to make this eternal āreproach of the conscience of the mistressā began to literally drip gray jets on the white tile. After cleaning all the ājointsā and tile, we just rinsed the tile with a shower ā clean!
TEST NO. 5. Clean your floor.
The floor brush has clips that hold the cloth in place we used the one included in the kit . I have to clean my kitchenās marble linoleum, it has not been washed for a week. To take a ābeforeā and āafterā picture of the same area of the floor, write the word āTESTā on it with an extra-strength nail polish.
Making 2 passes over a selected area with steam delivery. The floor is noticeably cleaner and the lettering is half erased. And the varnish can be removed only with solvent! A couple more passes, the floor shines, and the traces of varnish are gone! In the bathroom, we also wrote the word āTESTā on the tiles, but the dirt came off so quickly that the varnish didnāt have time to suffer.
In addition, we rubbed the linoleum, but not the tiles. The end result is a kitchen floor of 12.8 square meters.m. washed in a couple of minutes to a state of pristine cleanliness, and the white rag became black. To be honest, even when cleaning the floor with a fairly aggressive detergent we have not seen such a striking result!
WHAT ELSE??
In a couple of weeks of testing, the appliance was excellent for cleaning mirrors with a glass nozzle equipped with a rubber scraper . It took care of stubborn grease spots on the enamel stove, removed stubborn dirt from the joints of countertops and kitchen walls, helped iron out linen curtains by weight, and even fixed my husbandās suits no coat rack included, but we got by just fine with the usual āhangersā .
The house began to smell differently it turns out that cleanliness has its own smell , especially considering the presence of a cat in the house, whose āfamiliar spotsā have become much cleaner thanks to the device.
NO CHEMICALS AND ALLERGY
And thatās probably the main thing. The steam cleaner ALWAYS copes with the majority of household and even very persistent for example, lacquer contaminations without acids and chlorine. This means that the surfaces do not form on their dry residue: after all, using household chemicals, we remove some dirt and replace them with other ā chemical.
If you can protect your hands by wearing gloves when using detergents, your eyes and respiratory system are unprotected. And so we breathe in dry surfactant residue that gets into the air from cleaning to cleaning ā with a steam cleaner, this is eliminated.
