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.

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).

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.........

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

It's septic & treatment plant friendly as well, no mains sewerage up here lol so we can't use bleach etc.

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....
