Caution!
Check the state of your plaster before
starting work.
Steam can loosen weak, porous or poorly
bonded plaster - which also loosens readily
if cracked, holed or if steam plate is held in
one position for too long after the paper is
soaked.
Weak plaster can normally be detected by
tapping a few areas of the wall. A hollow
sound indicates that you should proceed
only with extreme care - stopping
immediately if you hear a cracking sound or
plaster starts to break loose.
The steam stripper is safe for drywall/plaster
board surfaces but whatever the material, it
is always wise to check a small area before
starting work properly.
Protect your home!
The heat generated by the boiler unit can
mark carpets, soft furnishings, table tops,
cabinets etc.
Dust sheets or newspapers are not suitable
heat protectors for delicate surfaces.
