Vapor Boss Steam System 11 Rev 6/11
Which Tool Should I Use Where?
(Bathroom continued)
Window Screens
–
Use the large triangular brush with doubled towel or the window squeegee tool on
a low steam setting. Attach to the hose handle. Use the extension wands if you need to extend your
reach. Do both sides of the screens working top to bottom. Remove and reattach a clean area of the
towel to the brush if the towel becomes too dirty.
Toilet –
Use the small triangular brush with the 3 hole nozzle for the exterior. Use
the
1” nylon bristle
round brush with the 1 hole nozzle
for cleaning inside the rim.
Start from the top of the toilet and work
down to the base. Use
the
1” nylon bristle round brush with the 1 hole nozzle
for cleaning inside the
rim.
Be sure to clean the floor up to 2 feet around the toilet to kill odor-causing bacteria. DO NOT PUT
THE BRUSH OR HOSE HANDLE UNDER WATER.
Faucets –
Use
the
3” nylon bristle round brush or small triangular brush with the 3 hole nozzle. Attach
to the hose handle. Use low steam volume. Wipe dry with a spare cotton or microfiber towel as you go.
Bathtub/Shower
a. Fiberglass
–
Pre-spray the area with a non-toxic cleaning fluid. For crevices use the small
triangular brush with the triple nozzle without towel attached to the hose handle and wipe up the
released dirt with a spare cotton towel as you go. Use large triangle brush with diapered towel on
walls of tubs with extension wands if needed.
b. Ceramic
–
Use the larger triangular brush. Attach a diapered towel. Use a low steam setting in
order to avoid scratching surface. Attach to the hose handle. Use extension wands if you need to
extend your reach.
c. Shower door –
Use the large triangle brush. Attach a diapered towel. Wipe surface dry with a
spare cotton or microfiber towel as you go. Lightly applying lemon juice assists in naturally
removing mineral deposits or soap scum.
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE THE BRUSH IN A CONCENTRATED AREA FOR MORE THAN
TWO OR THREE SECONDS, GLASS COULD BREAK.
d. Tile Grout –
Use
the
1” nylon bristle round brush with the 1 hole nozzle. Attach to the hose
handle. Add extension wands as needed to extend your reach. Pre-spraying the grout crevices with
a non-toxic cleaner will help loosen dirt before applying steam. Wipe released dirt with a spare
cotton towel as you go.
e. Silicone Sealant
–
Use the 1 hole nozzle, no closer than one-inch, use back and forth
movement blowing out debris.
NOTE:
DO NOT OVERHEAT SEALANT. IF MOLD AND MILDEW DOES NOT COME OFF
WHILE CLEANING, HEAT WILL KILL THE GROWTH.
BEDROOM
Carpet
Eliminate dust mites and mold spores. You can pre-treat stubborn stains (see “spot cleaning” in
Miscellaneous section below) with a non-toxic cleaner to loosen spot. Blast surface dirt with single
nozzle (no brush) sideways into a spare cotton towel. Put the floor brush cover on the large rectangular
brush covering the bristles. Use a low to medium steam setting. Move slowly over the carpet allowing
time for deep penetration of the carpet fibers. Use double or triple diapered towel if the surface seems
to be getting too wet. Vacuum up loosened dirt immediately from dirt now available in fibers loosened by
steaming. Air out to dry.
(Refer to instructional video)
Always VACUUM carpet first! Always TEST an area for discoloring before cleaning! Some carpets
are made with vegetable dyes, which are not “set” by boiling — the color can bleed from too much
heat and moisture.
Man made carpet fibers melt at temperatures 300ºF and above. The heat from the vapor system
