Steam cleaner (steam generator)

Larissa - I called a friend to find out about rust. She has enamelled cast iron. If it's just cast iron --- maybe you don't need it in the dishwasher? And the truth can rust. It's porous. I know that after washing the cast iron is advised to dry dry and anneal. Maybe better by my method?

Thanks for work. Yes, it's probably better like you, or the old fashioned way

Allochka! Thank you! I conveyed your praise to my husband. He was even more inflated with pride! Sits on his computer throne with a dignified expression. Master of purity - in one word!

Lord of Purity - in one word

Well done.

men sometimes need to be praised. and then they will have an incentive to help.

lana19 , I will try to wash the cast-iron grates on the gas stove using your method. Only I have these double grids, probably, it will be necessary to pack in garbage bags. And they have rubber pads, should they be removed before cleaning? But they are also fat ... What to do?

I also have rubber feet. They didn't dissolve. You can take trash bags or a large bag from the supermarket

[lana19]

The algorithm of actions is clear. We need to arrange a general wash for these grates.
lana19 , I was impressed by your washed grates on the hood ... I think the grates on your stove are also as good as new, shine ...

Girls, I read your suffering because of the bars on the gas stove and I understand how lucky I am: I have a glass-ceramic panel, I ran it with a rag - and that's it!

Girls, have already written about the grates .. without painful torment, EVERYTHING is ideally removed from them with the help of Amveevsky means for ovens .. read there in Temko ..

Girls, I want to say a huge thank you (I do not remember who wrote) who advised me to soar the curtains wet, I have such a complex organza, (n) which I could not iron out, and then I spent less time - a curtain on the floor, 6 meters wide, and the result was very pleasing. Thanks again. I love my software more and more.

it Alexa ha wrote, thanks to her! And from me too!

I also wrote about this about six months ago ... that is, even much earlier than Alexa-ha bought her PG

And thank you, but I hadn’t read this topic yet, so I didn’t know, sorry. This is called collective experience.

I was not too lazy to shove through more than 70 pages ...
mention of curtains number 1
about curtains number 2
about curtains in detail No. 3
And only after 3 weeks about the last description of the ironing of curtains of Alex-ha appeared in the topic about PG ... ... that is, in fact, she once again brought our experience to the masses!

Lily! I didn't cook the stove for the photo shoot. This is how it looks. Black dots on the gratings are new formations. And this is a piece of the working wall behind the stoveLong laundered software

Please tell me, but how to pour out the last drop of water from the software ??? And then I shook him, but there is still water and it does not pour out anymore!

Marina, I think that we should either use the steam completely, or drain the water, but without fanaticism.

It is problematic to drain the water, since in some steam generators the lid will not open due to the pressure present inside until it cools completely, and it may take a long time to wait .. sometimes it is easier to "bleed" the steam ...

Anyuta, do not be offended for the fact that they praise me here for the proposed experience of floating the curtains of software. I myself asked a question in another forum about this and the girls wrote to me that this was an empty matter and that I would only waste my time and offered to buy a steamer for this purpose. I read the topic on our forum in full, but at that time when I read it, I did not pay attention at all to the fact that the girls had already come up with everything without me and tried it out. But I am stubborn and tried it myself and, as Galina said, once again voiced this experience already acquired by many others. I didn't want to take all the credit for myself.

Tatoshenka, Galya, thank you, I'm still pleased.

I also wanted to write that after pouring filtered water into the software, I found a raid on the bottom of the software tank. Now I'm thinking whether it is worth pouring filtered water?

I use filtered water. Distilled is still a luxury, and you can't wear it!

I fill in distilled water ... and if there is none, then boiled water ...

Lily! I didn't cook the stove for the photo shoot. This is how she looks

Sveta, well, everything shines like new .. ... I assumed so.
So is this software washed or by soaking with chemistry in a bag? Or both? I'm confused what to wash

I washed everything and my software. Except for gratings. He does not cope with this deposit. Well, perhaps superficially. And here many have already written, including myself - if something is very neglected, then for the first time we work according to the software + CHEMISTRY scheme. Then chemistry is no longer needed. The main thing is not to run further.

Another great benefit of a steam cleaner is to get a man to help you clean the house. If you give a man a basin with a rag, I don't think he will be very happy. And the word cleaning sounds like backbreaking work. And then she gave him a yellow machine, emitting steam --- Go dear! Play around! [/ left]

Shl. What can I say --- GLORY TO THE STEAM CLEANER!

true for a hundred pounds !! my husband and son (11 years old) were carried away !!! mmm

Girls, please explain the steam cleaner and the steamer in what way? I just wondered if I need it? We have steamers for clothes in our stores. Magnet, comfort ... And the price is about 5 thousand. Maybe Karcher is more functional?

[Sveta]

Sveta, it is great that the grilles have been cut off Can they clean the bathtub or the enamel will not stand it? That is, it will withstand, but will not gradually deteriorate? I washed my old bath with silite soap, everything sparkled, and then I looked it became rough. Now new, but it seems to me that the old enamel was of better quality.

Larissa! I have acrylic. Soaps. Only with a cloth on the attachment. So as not to scratch

As far as I know, enamel is afraid of blows. She's also afraid of acid. It is necessary to wash with washing powder. The washing powder is practically neutral (weak alkaline environment). You just need to wash the bath more often. For example, once a week. Strong contamination is removed with acid products, but you should not abuse it. Although polymer enamel is not afraid of acids, it can still lose its luster.

Factory enamel deteriorates only one way. It gets rough.If the bath is washed with Pemolux and Silit, as well as with toilet duck and other means that kill all germs, the bath will be clean, but rough. These products contain aggressive substances such as acid and alkali. These substances etch the bath enamel.

And from the steam, nothing will happen. Steel or cast iron baths have high thermal conductivity. The water cools quickly. And the bath will not heat up even to 100 degrees from the steam cleaner. This I mean that there will be no sharp temperature drop!

Tortoezhka! Lena! The main difference between a steamer and a steam cleaner is in particular in the structure of these two household appliances.
A steamer, in its simplest function, is a self-heating water container that has a steam outlet valve, a hose and an iron at its end.
In the steamer, steam is supplied by gravity, that is, without compulsion, there is no pressure as such in the steamers.
For this reason, steamers have fewer functions and capabilities than steam cleaners, as the steam jet exits the steamer under low pressure. But it is worth noting that these functions include those that a steam cleaner with its power cannot perform.



The main advantage of a steamer over a steam cleaner is a simpler device and a lower cost when compared to professional models. Also, the steamer is much easier to use and does not require careful maintenance.
For those who wish to purchase any of the devices, remember that long service life is guaranteed when using distilled water.

The steam cleaner, in contrast to the steamer, has a more complex device. The steam cleaner system, as a rule, includes a steam compressor, which pumps steam into the vessel, which creates additional pressure. A more powerful and directed jet of steam gives the steam cleaner much more options and also increases its efficiency in operation. Vertical cleaning is another plus of the steam cleaner, with its help you can easily clean and disinfect not only clothes, but also curtains in the house. Typically, steam cleaners create a pressure of 3.5 bar.

A steam cleaner is a device with which you can wash and disinfect the surfaces of windows, floors, doors, dishes and a number of other items. The impact on objects turns out to be superheated steam with a temperature of up to 110 degrees Celsius and above.

A conventional home steamer is a device with which you can iron any natural woven or synthetic materials in the shortest possible time. Curtains, clothing, curtains, capes, jackets and coats can all be smoothed out by a steamer. The temperature of the steam leaving the nozzle reaches 100 degrees Celsius, which is somewhat lower than that of a steam cleaner. Such a gentle mode does not allow for complete disinfection, but this little thing is the thing for smoothing delicate fabrics.

There are steamers with a steam cleaner function,. It looks like a regular vertical garment steamer with a rack, but with the help of different hoses and attachments, the device can help with both cleaning and ironing. The kit also includes a steam mop. Of course, we must admit that the steam power of such models is much lower than that of, for example, a floor-standing steam cleaner,

Oh ... thanks a lot. I understand correctly that these are essentially two different devices and it is difficult to work with a steam cleaner as a steamer (you steam the tulle). Or is it possible to buy a steam cleaner and use it as a garment steamer too?

Oh ... thanks a lot. I understand correctly that these are essentially two different devices.

Of course, different ...

It is difficult to work with a steam cleaner as a steamer (you steam the tulle).

Difficult .. you just need to "adjust" ...

Or is it possible to buy a steam cleaner and use it as a garment steamer too?

It is also possible, but again it will take a long time to adapt ...due to the fact that the steam supply is slightly different in these devices .. more precisely, the nozzles themselves, from which steam comes out at the steamer and steam generator, differ at least in the number of holes ...

Everything is clear now! Thanks again! Went to think

And yet - how does a steam cleaner differ from a garment steamer In a steam cleaner, steam moisture is higher. This is done in order to soften the contaminated surface and then blow away the contamination. There are steam cleaners with adjustable steam humidity. They are even capable of releasing a stream of water. And as for clothes, these are steam generators. They produce, so to speak, dry steam (minimum humidity when served). So you need to think about what you want more and what will bring more benefits to use. You can use a steam cleaner as a steamer --- just not for all types of fabrics. I tried to steam the cotton shirt - it just got wet. But the bumps on her husband's woolen jacket smoothed out.

I also wanted to steam and clean, eventually opted for the Odyssey Kromax Q-901. This 2 in 1 appliance is a steamer and steam cleaner. I already wrote about my positive impressions about him earlier. I like them to steam and clean !!!

Natulya, but like the Cromax 901 with add. with nozzles, things are, really order them? If yes, then this is a great alternative for those who want everything at once.

thanks Natulya. I will look for this unit in the internet. I would like to steam and clean with one unit .. I quickly looked at the price of it. Very acceptable .... I will probably stop there

I'm about add. I don't really worry about the attachments, especially if they are expensive, like Karcher's. There are a lot of options - the forum suggested connecting a suitable cold-welded brush to a "soaked" nozzle. And I recently cleaned a narrow gap in the stove like this: I was hovering with one hand, and with the other I was cleaning with an old toothbrush (it is my irreplaceable assistant in cleaning, and lives in the kitchen and the bathroom in pairs for different purposes), it is very convenient, because the brushes from parosik not suitable for everything. And on a long handle (so as not to burn yourself), you can buy different brushes in household goods, then nozzles are not needed at all. In general, Kromax has consumables on the official website, so you can order them if you wish.

Successful acquisition, I hope the steam will not disappoint, I saw it in Yulmart and in the CSN-se.

yeah, I also saw him in Dnse yesterday. The most suitable store for me. It remains for my husband to prepare))

But I recently cleaned a narrow gap in the stove like this: I hovered with one hand, and with the other I cleaned with an old toothbrush (it is my irreplaceable assistant in cleaning, and lives in the kitchen and bathroom for a couple of different purposes), very convenient, because from parosik not suitable for everything.

This way I cleaned all the tile joints on the kitchen floor - the tiles are light green and the grout is beige. So the grout became exactly beige, as after the repair! And in the bathroom, the pink floor with pink grout is like new!

Girls, thanks to everyone who created and took part in the discussion of such a wonderful Temka, and it all started with the fact that a hose flew in my Clatronics jug, climbed to look for something new and the FSE - sucked ..., after reading the forum diagonally to page 80, yesterday I went and bought the Karcher 2500 Sochi software + a gift, I would have taken the usual one, but it was not available, it would have cost 7490, without an iron, (there is a steam generator and an ironing press) fortunately the store is not far away, two boys-consultants showed me everything and told me, took with the possibility of adding water, an apartment of 90 sq., plus 3 animals. You understand that there is no way to stop, of course I rubbed the corn on my thumb, but my kitchen shines indescribably, washed out all the grooves, nooks where you could only climb with a toothbrush before, and chandeliers are a separate story. This morning, again at work, there is not a single speck on the white carpet, I have a big parrot - in free flight, it happens that sometimes it does not reach the cage, and the bird droppings are sooooo corrosive, how much I rubbed this carpet with shampoos and vanishes, it still left not completely, now he is pristine white, she is in shock, at first she just sprinkled it with Amveevsky spray, then she took a small nozzle on it and twisted a microfiber cloth on top of a terry cloth with an elastic band, on a small pair, and most importantly, all this is no more than 15 20 minutes ....... .... And maybe someone else will come in handy - I bleed water directly into the water tank, fortunately at 2500 this allows an open hole for water ...
Once again, thank you all very much, now I am finishing the Temka to the end.

Galina I congratulate you on your excellent assistant. I am sure she will serve faithfully for the good and cleanliness of your family and home! Thank you very much for your feedback and the idea to clean the carpet. Is it expensive for Amway carpets? And I would also like to know how you cleaned the chandeliers? I want to note that you are a risky girl, I would not approach the chandeliers with software, but what if ...

Alla, thank you, I'm not really overjoyed .., regarding the Amveevsky medium, I took the usual multifunctional one, which is diluted with water, honestly I don’t remember how much it costs, I have it as a lifesaver, I treat all sorts of stains before washing with it, then washed it. the car and into a bucket I pshik with water, when the floors were washed, this also puffed the carpet, left for 5-10 minutes, then soared. The chandeliers, naturally turned off, also first by Amway, puffed it up with the same, and then just doused it with steam, WITHOUT ANY NOZZLES, and immediately wiped it with a microfiber cloth in the other hand, nothing flies to the ceiling, and I forgot about the paintings, write, I have frames "squiggly", they were also not easy to wipe with a rag, but here, as if they were just bought, in general I am incredibly happy ...

Galina, congratulations on the steam cleaner! Thanks for the detailed feedback. What gender do you have? I'd like to hear a review about the washing of the laminate, not from hearsay, but from the user. I will not make up my mind to buy a Kercher.

Long live the Karcher steam generator together with the Karcher glass cleaner! Yesterday, in the winter, I cleaned the frames and glass - easy, simple, simple charm! With a steam generator (a small brush with a cloth on it) I run it along the frames, then I collect dirt on a wet microfiber, then on the glass with the same cloth - and a glass cleaner (small flaws with a dry microfiber). Tired of only flowers from the window sills to the floor and back up)))

Thank you Alla for the congratulations !!!!
My floor is laminate in all rooms, tiles are kitchen, bathroom, toilet, corridor.
I washed the floor on a small pair, folding a terry towel three times - it is almost dry, my favorite mop "white cat" gets wet much more, and it is a pleasure to wash the parrot's cage, it's even a pity that the hose on the jug hadn't grunt before ... ...

Long live the Karcher steam generator together with the Karcher glass cleaner!

Natalya, tell me, do you have a separate 🔗 such, or just an additional glass nozzle, they also showed me this glass cleaner in the store, very good.I liked it, but they said that it was not needed with the software, so now I think, maybe I should have taken it all the same? I really just washed all the windows that week, manually, if I knew that such an assistant would appear, I would have waited, of course.
