General Cleaning Tips:

• For stubborn stains, direct the steam onto the area for a few seconds to loosen grime before wiping.
• Always wipe away dissolved dirt and moisture with a clean cloth after steaming.
• Test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate surfaces, to ensure no damage occurs.

Specific Applications:

• Kitchen Sink & Stove: Use the bent spray nozzle or a round brush attachment for hard-to-reach areas and stubborn grease. Steam directly onto the grime, then wipe clean.
