Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your steam cleaner.

• Emptying the Water Tank: After each use, unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely. Carefully unscrew the safety cap and empty any remaining water.
• Cleaning Accessories: Wash removable accessories with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Allow them to air dry before storing.
• Descaling: Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate, especially if non-distilled water is used. If steam output decreases, mix a solution of equal parts white vinegar and distilled water. Fill the tank with this solution and let it sit for 30 minutes (do not heat). Empty and rinse thoroughly with distilled water. Repeat if necessary.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water.
