WHEN STEAMING A WOOD FLOOR, NEVER LET BRUSH STAND IN ONE PLACE WHILE STEAM
TRIGGER IS ON. ALWAYS KEEP BRUSH MOVING. GO OVER AREA TWO OR THREE TIMES AS
NEEDED.
Carpets
We do not recommend this steam cleaner for cleaning large carpeted areas but rather for spot cleaning.
Carpet fibers melt at temperatures 300ºF and above.
Carpet Stains
If the stain is only on the surface of the carpet, it can be removed by shooting the steam against the spot from
the side, 1" above surface. Hold a towel on the other side to catch the residue. This prevents driving the
particles deeper into the fibers.

Steam mattresses, areas around bed, and all base boards
