Steam cleaner (steam generator)

when does it need to be descaled, after how many times?

Determine by the electric kettle, it depends on the hardness of the water. For example, this does not need to be done with our water at all.

did anyone clean their stretch ceiling?

Karcher 1020 for stretch ceiling

Marina, how does a steam turbo brush attachment look like? Well, to know what to order.
I just found a turbo brush. But it is for vacuum cleaners.

[Alenka212]

Alenka212May I be responsible for Marina https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&Itemid=227&topic=928.2640 ... I posted on this page photos of attachments that are not included in the main kit.

Sveta, it seemed to me that Marina meant something else, for cleaning the carpet (or maybe I wanted to think so)

I really liked the nozzle-steam turbo brush (not to be confused with the rotary steam nozzle for joints and corners). The steam is so powerful that after you change this nozzle to a regular one, it seems that the steam power is already not enough. Recommend

I really liked the nozzle-steam turbo brush

Alenka - Marina just wrote about this nozzle. I don’t have it, but I’m staring at it. This attachment is praised by many. She has a small ball inside, if I'm not mistaken. And manual will be enough for you to clean the carpet and raise the pile. You can insert two extension tubes into it and you will have a mop option for your convenience. Just take into account that lengthening the passage of steam slightly reduces its temperature and strength.

[lana19]

Yes, Sveta lana19 I showed the same steam turbo brush in the photo. She herself does not spin (I thought so when I bought it, I thought it was a turbo). Inside, like a small ball rolls over, a fairly strong vapor pressure is created. Well wipes off heavy dirt. I cleaned mascara stains on carpet - faster and cleaner than the included attachment. And I just put it on right now and go. I bought a large (wide) nozzle for cleaning carpets on the floor. You can get by with a small kit, but then I felt sorry for her: I thought that the plastic bristles would quickly bend. Fans of a steam cleaner can only buy a second small one with bristles for carpets (which is included), it will be much cheaper (like from 600 rubles) so as not to worry that it will fail.

[Lyuzija]

when does it need to be descaled, after how many times? (I have a Kärcher SC1.020)

For Lyuzija
Lyudmila, I light a small flashlight in the hole and everything is clear at once whether it needs to be cleaned or not. I pour in boiled filtered water, but our water is very hard. I walk in circles in the eternal struggle with limescale between the steam cleaner, steam generator, kettle, coffee maker and washer.

Marina, do the hand brush and the special brush for carpets differ in the quality of the bristles? Or just size?

[Alenka212]

Alenka212, Elena, the quality of the plastic is the same. The bristle brush of a floor brush is thicker and taller: 1.5 cm in height for a large and 1.1 cm for a small one. The large brush is quite heavy, combing the pile in one direction "towards itself", not maneuverable. I did not have the opportunity to touch and evaluate all the attachments live: there is almost no assortment in local Karcher centers, I bought everything on the Internet. Now for myself, maybe I would buy only a second small one, purely for carpets, because I have a lot of dog hair, and the other is only for the kitchen, etc.
A wide nozzle is good for a private house: the description for it says that it cleans large surfaces of stone and ceramics well. For example, you can wash the outside of the siding.

A wide nozzle is not bad for a private house: the description for it says that it cleans large surfaces made of stone and ceramics well. For example, you can wash the outside of the siding.

I froze at the words "private house", and now I think: why bristles when washing siding? In general, as always, the longer you choose, the more porridge in your head ...

Flax, well, I don't think the bristles are superfluous anywhere: I scrub mine and on the kitchen floor, there is always something to scrub. And about the agony of choice, I really understand you: that's why I bought all the attachments, so as not to guess, what if this is exactly the one that I need? In general, I love cleaning equipment and household chemicals, there are all sorts of rags for dust, mops with attachments ... And I am indifferent to something from kitchen devices, although there is nowhere to put either

[Marika-san]

Marika-san thanks and I will do so. I directly feel some kind of dependence on the steam engine, now I constantly want to clean something.

Marika-san, it would be easier if it weren't for the second PG choice. I can clean everything with mine, but with carpet cleaning, difficulties arise due to breakage.

Lena, broke ...? I sympathize. Well, if you have made a choice of a new steam cleaner of another brand, then try to work with those nozzles that will be included in the kit, you will become thinner. I'm just scared of pushing someone onto an expensive floor nozzle that they won't use later.
Girls, it's just here gorgeous review about the work of the steam cleaner (I'm not even talking about which model to buy, but about the principle of its operation). The man described everything in detail, posted a bunch of photos: before and after the work of the steam cleaner (the hostess washed the neglected rented apartment):

🔗

Received a parcel from China. A huge size 52 men's down jacket was vacuum packed in a small bag. The jacket had many small creases and bumps. I would definitely not dare to iron the space-synthetic fabric that does not allow moisture to pass through and is also down on the inside with an iron. And my Karcher did it!

[lana19]

lana19, a good result turned out!
And with what nozzle did you steam the down jacket?

[Lily]

Lily.Thanks! This one. My own pocket (rag) was in the wash. So I wrapped the attachment with the first rag I came across and fastened the ends with a clothespin. It was possible to tie the ends. Floated on a hanger. Pulling on the fabric.

Light, the result is just super! our software can handle everything! that the curtains, that the down jacket is a feast for the eyes! !!

[Alexa-ha]

Alexa-ha, Thank you Allochka I am very pleased with the purchase of the software! The husband's relatives also acquired this helper. The most compelling argument they said was that I had the cleanest windows in the whole house! Once again I am convinced that surfaces treated with hot steam are less dirty!

Again, I was presented with a reason to praise the PG. After removing the tree and all the NG decorations, my daughter decided to decorate her room by sticking snowflakes with PLASTINE on the NEW PAPER FACTORY wallpaper! When she took them off (under my onslaught) and scraped off the plasticine, then in its place in the recesses its particles of a gray-brown-goat color firmly settled down.
Armed with the PG and hope, she blew off the remnants of the plasticine with a nozzle and immediately wiped it off with a cloth. The wallpaper, of course, got wet pointwise, but after drying it turned out to be otchishy and did not come off!
Along the way, she blew off the smeared chocolate from a half-meter shaggy hare (apparently I didn't want to eat _).

Alain, are there no "greasy" spots from plasticine on the wallpaper?

Nope, I noticed the "decoration" in time. And plasticine was not fashionable, but ordinary. Otherwise dad would be "happy" ....

It's good that the steamy "coped" with the wallpaper without any consequences! .... ...

Girls, help me decide. I looked at the reviews on steam generators - where they praise, where they hayut (cleans, does not clean). Which of you has served for several years, which one is more reliable, what do you recommend? Interested in: Kerchner, Ariette and Clathronic (with a large volume of water). For the price, of course, a clathronic would be better, but ...

[natushka]

natushka, good afternoon! I have a clathronic Odyssey 801 model.Not even a month has passed since I bought it, but I have an idea. Cleaning has become much easier and faster. There was no age-old dirt, so the debris did not fly in different directions, but after working with the PG, a shine appears. Although I washed the wooden stairs, which I did not have enough patience to scrub with detergents. I steamed the pea coat to my husband after washing, greasy smudges are very easily washed off. Even with the help of the steam washer, I very easily removed the old wallpaper, which I had been picking with a little leg for a very long time. Overall, I'm happy! The only thing that broke the nose of one adapter, tomorrow we are just going to the service.
P / S don't even know how I used to live without him!

I have a clathronic odyssey 801 model

Julia, you probably wanted to write Kromax?

[natushka]

natushka, Klatronic is very good, because of Boman, this is Klatroshi's twin, for such a price he does his job for 5+. And his window nozzle is excellent, when girls write (about other software) that they cannot wash windows with them, I was very surprised until I bought myself a Monster, since it is impossible to wash windows with its nozzle. You read somewhere in the middle of the topic, there are the owners of Klatrosh, everyone is happy.

[Tatoshenka, thanks!]

Tatoshenka, thanks!

Klatronic is very good,

For the price, of course, it is more suitable (I like that the nozzles are in a special compartment), but I read reviews that somewhere steam comes out of the pipe and something else after several turns on - China. His water tank is kind of weak and plastic too. So I think and I just can't decide which one. I have not yet understood whether Klatronic has a steam temperature control. I am still reading, but a lot.

[Za-za]

Za-za, please unsubscribe, what will the service tell you about the nose? Do you want to change or buy it? And be careful with the steam gun itself. As my sad experience has shown, not only the nozzles break, but also the nozzles of the pistol itself. Although I clearly do not possess uncommon strength ...

Does Klatronic have steam temperature control

No, there is no regulation. There is an on / off button on the case.
If finances allow, then maybe you will then consider Karcher, there is good plastic and there is an opportunity to buy attachments. And the girls who bought it are all happy. Specifically, I can't say about him, I haven't had one yet

I have a big Klatronic, he is good, he works, I wash everything for him. But maybe I was so unlucky, the tank began to leak, my husband went to solder to a car repair shop. Maybe due to the fact that I was distracted before this, and he stood on for a while, because the steam did not go down.

I have a karcher, I sometimes leave it on at all and do other things. In general, nothing is done to him, he just cools down slightly, and then, when I take it, the heating itself turns on. And I don't release the pressure either when I finished working, but the water in the tank remained. I unplug it and it just cools down. You can freely buy replaceable brushes for the Karcher, but they do not sell replaceable brushes for the clathronic. I have already bought 2 sets of round brushes for my karcher, 4 pieces in a pack.
IMHO steam it and in Africa steam, fat will dissolve in any case. But the convenience and durability of the Karcher cannot be compared with the clathronic.

PS I also have a clathronic, but a jug. He also washes, but after buying a Karcher I took it out of the box as much as 1 time and I didn't like it.
ZZY selling clathronic at half price, used 1 month

Yeah, you have to tighten the belt and save up. In clathronics I like: 1 price, 2-tank capacity, 3-nozzles are conveniently stored, 4-pressure is more. But I'm not sure about the reliability, there is no app. parts. Although any purchase is a lottery. I think this way and that

Julia, you probably wanted to write Kromax?

Of course Kromax, I don't even know why she wrote it like that

I bought a new attachment for 450r. They said that this is a non-warranty case (there were minor mechanical damages on the nozzle itself near the thread), maybe I twisted it with great force ...

And tell me, pliz, do they clean PG down jackets? So as not to wash and then beat the fluff!

And tell me, pliz, do the PG down jackets clean? So as not to wash and then beat the fluff!

as I realized that clothes can be freshened up (get rid of the smell) I tried it on my sonken down jacket in a corner (rubbed it a little) but didn’t get the desired result. Perhaps I did something wrong.

[Za-za]

Za-za, Thank you!

And I correctly understood the big Klatronic vacuum cleaner-steam generator, and Körcher only the steam generator, that is, does Klatrosh clean up after himself?

And I correctly understood the big Klatronic vacuum cleaner-steam generator, and Körcher only the steam generator, that is, does Klatrosh clean up after himself?

No, the Klatronic is also an ordinary steam generator.

Oh, here I once again enjoyed the benefits of civilization .. In 5 minutes I defrosted the freezer with a steam gun ... BEAUTYAAA !!!

Girls, I read it - a lot of water flows when you work on software and splashes in all directions - right? And in the video about Klatronic, water is only when the windows are washed, and everything else is steam, even upholstered furniture was cleaned.

[natushka]

natushka, depending on how much pressure you set. I also wash the windows with a slight pressure, so it doesn't leak. Then I rubbed the microfiber for the windows and wiped my hair. I have the higher the pressure, the higher the humidity of the steam, and, accordingly, more water is formed.

[Za-za]

Za-za, the tips often break with these models. I saw them before buying, but I thought it was because of the excessive power of the user. I don’t have such a thing .... But now I’m convinced myself that it’s not so. They either have something with the quality of plastic (fragile). or with a construction.

[Alenka212]

Alenka212, let's see how much this is enough, otherwise you will have to ask your husband to come up with something. I'm happy with the software itself, it steams things well and water does not flow.

And I didn't make friends with the software. He doesn’t help me much, and there’s too much water ... Maybe I’m doing something wrong ...

[irisska]

irisska, can you pour a lot of water? drips from the nozzles when a lot of water is poured into the tank. Even in the first seconds, water leaks a little, but this is normal. Since the steam goes along the cold sleeve and cools down accordingly.

He doesn’t help me much, and the water is too much ..

For the first couple of seconds, steam from large steam generators must be vented either into a rag or into a sink / bucket ... With small ones, there are no such problems, but in a large one, you first "remove" the water from the hose, and only then the steam will go ...

[Omela]

Omela, and this is how ??? Ferry to the freezer and mustache? won't it hurt the fridge?
