Which Tool Should I Use Where?
KITCHEN
Floors –
Pre-vacuum or sweep up large dirt and dust particles. Use the large rectangular brush with
clipped on diapered double towel at low/medium steam volume. If you use the extension wands, insert
one wand into the other making sure the lengthwise lines on them are all lined up with each other on
each piece. This will make sure that the wands remain securely fastened. They should click easily into
place. Click the extension wands into the hose handle. Keep a bucket available for dirty towels.
a. Tile
–
Remove and refold doubled towel to clean side so that towel is absorbing dirt and not
pushing it around. If floor is very dirty, use the rectangular brush without attached towels, and mop
dirt immediately as you go with a spare cotton towel.
b. Vinyl or Wood –
Use the large rectangular brush with diapered doubled towel at low steam
volume. Use extension wands as needed. Spray area lightly with cleaner such as Murphy’s Oil
Soap if especially dirty. Work rapidly and lightly to avoid taking shine off floor. Go over area two or
three times if heavily soiled and frequently remove and change towel to a clean side.
NOTE:
WHEN STEAMING A WOOD FLOOR, NEVER LET BRUSH STAND IN ONE PLACE
WHILE STEAM TRIGGER IS ON. ALWAYS KEEP BRUSH MOVING.
c. Waxed Vinyl Floors
- Use large floor brush and if necessary, use the 3-inch round brush in
corners and tight areas. Clip a clean cotton towel over the large floor brush. Apply steam, cleaning
a small area quickly as you go. This should melt a top layer of wax holding the dirt in the pores of
the floor. If the floor is greasy or very dirty, you may need to repeat this procedure, or use a
cleaning formula if desired.
d. Unwaxed Vinyl Floors
- Use the large floor brush with clip on towel. Pull trigger every 3 to 5
seconds to keep towel heated. Use a back and forth motion.
NOTE:
DO NOT OVERHEAT ANY KIND OF VINYL, SINCE THIS COULD SOFTEN THE
SURFACE AND AFFECT THE TEXTURE. THIS ALSO APPLIES WHEN USING SMALL
BRUSHES TO REMOVE TOUGH SPOTS.
e. Wood Parquet Floors
- Use large rectangle brush with a cotton towel clipped over it and
squeeze trigger every 3 to 5 seconds. Move quickly to avoid heat or moisture buildup in wood. Use
Murphy’s wood cleaner for dirty floors.

.
Marble Floors
- Use the same techniques as used for wood floors, keeping heat and moisture off
the surface as much as possible. Always use Marble conditioner after cleaning.
NOTE:
SOME MARBLE SURFACES CAN DISCOLOR.
