PowerSteam XR500 Steam Mop by Aerus

Your virtually limitless cleaning options are limited by very few products. Fine silks, velvet, micro fiber, leather and possibly some laminate wood floors are not to be cleaned with steam. Like with many things in life, if you are unsure of the use of steam on a particular furnishing or surface in your home, contact the manufacturer first.

The microfiber pads are designed to be used for hundreds of times. Regularly clean the pads either by hand (using mild soap and warm water) or in the clothes washer on delicate cycle, cool water. Never use fabric softener or bleach. Best to let the pads air dry to maintain maximum long term effectiveness.

• Removes grease, ground-in dirt and spots better than solvents
• Cleans kitchen floors, counters and appliances
• Cleans grout between tiles
• Removes soap scum and mildew from bathrooms, tiles and fixtures
• Cleans and freshens carpets, upholstery, drapes and blinds

This vapor steam cleaner will clean carpets if they are not terribly soiled or worn. If they are badly soiled or worn, they should be professionally cleaned first and then gone over with the vapor stream cleaner to sanitize the carpeting and remove the chemicals left behind. These units are best suited for light cleaning, maintenance, and spot removal and will take longer to use than water extracting cleaning machines. Remember that a major use for vapor steam cleaners is to kill bacteria, fleas and critters, and remove chemicals and odors from carpeting and other surfaces.

Note: It is important when cleaning your carpets to vacuum both before and after you steam clean. The heat from the steam will draw dirt, hair, etc. to the surface where vacuuming will remove it.
