Steam cleaners
 

Has anyone got one, and if so, would you recommend it. I just cant face cleaning those glass shower doors anymore:(

I've got one that does floors, but the handle keeps falling off. I use it to sterilise the bathroom and kitchen floors occasionally. I've always wondered about one that can steam upholstery and curtains.

Meh. Too much hassle imo. (based on the floor mop style steam cleaners). The cords are never that long that they reach beyond a room, and they are bloody heavy, so a total pain in the ass. Mines is now a dust collector.

Isn't ammonia supposed to be a good cleaning agent?

In our house, the last person to use the shower gets to squeegy it dry.

There's the cleaning done right there.

We use that Earth Choice shower spray. Fantastic stuff, last one in the shower gives the walls & screen a quick spray at the top & it's spotless next day.

Cool. Every week I spray mould killer into all the corners, joints of our shower which cleans out any gunk and stops mould ever developing (not a big problem here anyway).

Re: Steam cleaners
 

I've a Karcher steamer: works reasonably well but terrible design - there's a temperature and pressure lock on the filler cap (to stop you getting burned if you undo it while it's hot). Trouble is, the container isn't that big so you need a couple of fills to do a bathroom, and it takes almost an hour to cool down enough to be able to undo the filler cap! Takes away what little enthusiasm you start off with.........

Good Wol, glad to see a man doing some 'time and motion' analysis....

Do you have a link to your review?

all we do is squeegee the water off....window cleaner style.....

Re: Steam cleaners
 

Thanks all, looks like i'll have to go back to the elbow grease (and i'll try that earth choice stuff):)

Re: Steam cleaners
 

I use a paste I make of baking powder and white vinegar and brings it up a treat :)

Re: Steam cleaners
 

You have to make sure the walls & doors are spotless before you start to use it after that a simple 5 second spray around works a treat:thumbup:
It's septic & treatment plant friendly as well, no mains sewerage up here lol so we can't use bleach etc.

Re: Steam cleaners
 

will try that, I always have vinegar, for stains on the cream carpet:frown:

No review IIRC

Vinegar has a multitude of uses...
Incidentally I use vinegar on my work shirts once every few months when the barest of tide-marks starts to appear. (Obviously they get washed every week).

I soak them in vinegar...then use a mild solution of Napi-san.

Let it not be said that I am no domestic whore....
