10. WORK TECHNIQUES

 

 

The temperature of the steam at the tip of the nozzle is between 312ºF - 285ºF, since the vapor is 
dry, it cools to 245ºF 4” from the tip and 185ºF 8” inches from the tip.   

 

Most  bacteria  begins  to  die  when  exposed  to  temperatures  of  245ºF  so  keeping  the  tip  of  the 
handle close to the work area is key to successful cleaning. 

 

Using a bonnet clipped to the large floor or triangular brush allows heat to be spread evenly on the 
work area.  Work from the top down on any area so dirt will not fall on cleaned surfaces.   

 

 

 

 

 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

To eliminate bed bugs or dust mites, use the large triangle on the low steam 

setting. Bed bugs and dust mites will die on contact from the steam.   

Ø

Move quickly over the mattress and go over each area more than once 

to ensure complete and thorough elimination of bed bugs and dust 
mites Immediately use a vacuum over treat areas. 

Ø

 Make sure to treat both sides of the mattress and all areas around the 

bed including baseboards. 

Ø

 Mattress should be slightly damp to the touch but not wet so let it air-dry 

before putting bed linens back on the mattress.  

11. Bed Bug & Dust Mites

 

 

PRE-STEAM 

 
Get into the habit of pre-steaming a surface if it is heavily soiled.  At a  
4-inch distance, spray steam on surface from all directions for 10 seconds.    
 

   PRE-TREAT 

Use heat activated Vapormate® to pre-treat surface areas before steaming. 

         SPEED 

Let the heat do the work for you!  Do not move too quickly, unless surface is 
sensitive to heat like wood, paint, wallpaper, colored fabrics or plastic.
