Steam cleaner (steam generator)

I’ll tell you about the windows, if anyone can do it. I liked washing the windows with a steam cleaner, but you need to be extremely careful. The glass heats up very quickly and can crack.

Does this apply to ordinary windows or plastic ones too?
I recently washed three large windows of three sections each, but did not find any overheating, it was more likely for me

We cracked the window so. I chatted with my husband and he moved the nozzle around the little window five times back and forth, and it cracked. The glass is small, heated up quickly and could not stand it.

And what was the temperature of the medium (and thus the glass itself) at the same time? Was it really cold outside?
I just do it more than once or twice with a steamer on the insoles-mirrors (when I washed it for the first time, I even rubbed it with a brush attachment several times, even with a small brush, and the point overheating is much higher) ... however, they are not small ... no vents ...

[Lozja]

Lozja, I read all 64 pages, and I wanted to too. I walked through the stores, there are none, I looked through some online stores, also not. And then I think, I ask Lozja, where did she get the same? and lo and behold, you have. So I'll take it. Do you think the blinds can be washed with them? Is it heavy if you carry it in your hand all the time? Are you happy with your purchase ???

I am happy, for weekly cleaning - the very thing that is needed so as not to breathe chemistry. The blinds, I think, are easy, only if the blinds are not removed, then be careful not to damage the windows, like mine. Do not drive for a long time in one place.
It will be hard to hold and drive them in the hand all the time, unless the hand is well pumped up. But, this is not necessary, you can hold in your other hand and press the button, and in your right hand you can hold the extension hose and drive it where you need it. Actually, this is even more convenient, because you cannot tilt the steam cleaner itself especially, and twist the hose as you want.

That wasn’t, it was normal on Saturday outside, it’s not hot, but not cold either, our window opens onto a glazed balcony, but it cracked just from the side of the room. I think the point is still in the small size of the glass, plus perhaps some microcrack was invisible to the eye.

Today I tried Clathronic 2930 in operation. It is very convenient, only the water runs out quickly. And so cleaning is a joy, either you play or you clean.

Elena Bo glad you liked the steamy. At first, the water runs out quickly, and then when you pick up enough, you will have enough gas stations, since the cleanliness will be perfect and there will be few dirty places.

Tell me, plz, does the steam cleaner only steam up the dirt? Then you have to wipe it with a rag? Or are there models that suck up this dirt like a vacuum cleaner?

Tell me, plz, does the steam cleaner only steam up the dirt? Then you have to wipe it with a rag? Or are there models that suck up this dirt like a vacuum cleaner?

Anna1957 everything is true steam steam steam and dirt is collected with a cloth. But there are also steam vacuum cleaners (like mine) the Karcher SV 1902 model. It steams and sucks in and no rags.True, the price is much higher than the usual steam engine. But it's much more convenient for me. At first it was ordinary and was tired of collecting a cloth and running to rinse it. And my pens don't get dirty.

Good day everyone! At least don't go to the forum ... I glanced past the Temka, conscientiously read it: girl_cleanglasses: and also began to want such a thing. I look in the direction of Karcher products, it somehow inspires me more confidence than analogues. Girls and boys who own this brand, please convince me that I made the right choice.

I have a Steam cleaner "Vapor Dry", I can't say that I use it every day, but at first I cleaned the whole apartment, the stove sparkled, where in the entrance the cat marked it under my door and you can't breathe, I "killed" the steam. The thing is not essential for me, but necessary. Interestingly, are clathronic the same functions?

I have Karcher ("vacuum cleaner") at home, and Klatronic ("jug") at my dacha. It all depends on the tasks facing the steam engine. Both units suit me. But it is in such conditions ("jug" in the country, "vacuum cleaner" at home). By the way, Karchers are different ... I have one of the cheapest ...

Yes, all +/- steam generators have the same functions. Some are more abrupt and more expensive, others are more demanding and cheaper. In general ... a steam generator generates steam under pressure. And in this they are all the same

Tanya, and the ferry "killed" not a cat though
I'm joking, I'm joking - it's clear that the smell and cat marks

the cat left very odorous marks, and he ran away ... so he is alive, do not be afraid.

As for the smell, I did not expect it myself, but the smell is well removed. Checked more than once. I had another couple in front of the current cats (I always have 2-3 of them) - and here one always missed the basin, sat like a parrot on the edge and zhzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzhzh - all by. the smell didn't go away. And everything was cleaned with a steam cleaner.

the cat left very odorous marks, and ran away ...

We know that, the wallpaper was especially affected. I just asked 10 backers if it is possible to remove the smell in this way, now I am sure that it will work! And we don't want to have cats anymore ... for many reasons.

I also like to clean everything with a steam cleaner. And even wipe the floor, despite the fact that you first have to go through the vacuum cleaner. I did not regret at all that I bought it (I have Körcher). Glasses generally without any problems now - the steam said goodbye, then a rag from the White Cat. The cat itself is good enough, but paired with a steam locomotive in general "destructive power". Over time, if you don't use any chemicals, a greasy coating will still form on the windows. And he cleans up remarkably well. So far, only positive emotions. Or am I just a "maniac" of all sorts of home "life facilitators".

[manna]

manna, I want a universal appliance. Well, so that he can wash windows, floors, tiles, bathrooms and toilets, clean carpets and the soft part, can steam well washed curtains, tulle and clothes. And at the same time he also cleaned up after himself (water and dirt). Here, under my requirements, it seems like the model Karcher 1902 or 1802 fits (it does not have an additional tank for adding water, I did not find any more differences), but the price

To clean up after yourself - this is a steam cleaner. Have tatjanka such (1902). Here HERE (and further in the text) she talked about him.

So I think the same thought. The vacuum cleaner is not worth the price. But what about the cat smell, can you remove it with a simple jug? In our old age, the cat also moved mentally, making puddles all over the apartment. The chair smells creepy

[Girls!]

Girls! I read and read, like everything is written about everything .... and now tell me which is better to buy: Klatronic (big) or something else? I will need to help put the apartment in order (for a relative's residence), they bought it and are asking for help. Financial repairs cannot be done, and the apartment needs to be made suitable for living, i.e.: batteries, insole, doors, bathroom, toilet, etc., etc. I need it to be financially not very expensive, but It is VERY effective that I do not fall there from such a load.

I bought myself a Clatronic DR 2930 - clatronic 2930 for 280 UAH and I'm happy with it for the 2nd day! I took it precisely because of the need to transform the apartment into a divine form before renovation. Well, there are greasy walls to wash and stuff. I did it with a bang. And most importantly, it was not hard for me to carry it. Hands did not get tired. Now let's start preparing for laying the tiles.

[Nadia,]

Nadia, please write what he does especially well and what is not very good. Have you tried to clean the batteries, doors, stove, etc. And the windows?

[Natusichka]

Natusichka, if this purchase is for one time, and they do not need to steam the floors, then you can take a small Clathronic. It's just that you will need to refuel it more often, which means that the rest in work will be more often

But what about the cat smell, can you remove it with a simple jug?

I think that in this sense there is no difference between steam cleaners. They all generate steam, which neutralizes the smell. I so "cleaned" the linoleum from dog smells ... just with Klatronic (a jug). I can't say that the smell is completely gone, but if you don't smell carefully, you won't notice it.

No, of course not for 1 time! I will clean everything later!

[Nadia,]

Nadia, please write what he does especially well and what is not very good. Have you tried to clean the batteries, doors, stove, etc. And the windows?

I cannot yet say what he does particularly well with. I didn't wash the windows, I got it yesterday. But immediately an experiment was carried out to wash the old painted wall (a piece) smeared with grease from an old grandfather 100 years ago. Yes, of course you need to go for a steam cleaner with a rag, but washed the wall to a superb condition. I could not wash it off with any means, the paint peeled off immediately. And then the paint was in place and all the fat was gone. I don't need to wash the stove, I cover it with a falga and then just remove the foil and lay a new one. It's more comfortable for me. The batteries are not soapy, they are new! There are no doors in the kitchen. I can say that Klatrosh coped with his duties. I really understood its features of frequent flooding with water and other things at work. But that was exactly what I needed now.Then maybe when I finish the repair, I'll get rich and buy myself one so as not to go after him with a rag, but so far I really like this one too!

Yes, of course you need to go for a steam cleaner with a rag

Nadia, it turns out that he does not work like a vacuum cleaner? I don’t understand how it works ...

[Matilda]

Matilda,
Yes, it doesn't work like a vacuum cleaner. He softened the dirt with a steam cleaner, drove it out of hidden areas, where you can't get in, and wiped it with a rag! I have Karcher 10.20, however, I have used only 1 time so far, but I still have to come

Nadia, it turns out that he does not work like a vacuum cleaner? I don’t understand how it works ...

To work like a vacuum cleaner, you need a steam cleaner, but there are already completely different prices and it weighs about 10 kg.

I have Karcher 10.20, however, I have used only 1 time so far, but I still have to come

And what are your impressions?

I here at the dacha Klatronic washed an old plastic bookcase, she spent three years in the barn. Gryaznaaaa I hovered her for two hours. But after the husband said that he did not think that it could be cleaned like that. Praised

[manna]

manna,
Yes, I only used it once - I washed the window in the nursery, my husband wiped it off. A lot of fuss, but apparently we just haven't adapted yet. True, the window was shining. My husband said that there was no point in buying a window brush, but I did not understand yet whether it was so or not. They did not wash in the other rooms, for the reason indicated below, all the same, everything will fly throughout the apartment.The mold in the tile joints killed, but this year I will have a bathroom and toilet repair, I hope the mold will not be scary for me in the next 10 years (I hope) ... I washed the toilet inside (I bought additional replacement brushes) - it shines, you can't wash it with your hands! This is where the experience is over. I wanted to wash the batteries inside, but they are relatively new for me, the dust has accumulated inside there just - I didn't dare - I was afraid that the wallpaper would steam off, and I'm not sure about the laminate either.

Tomorrow my Klatrosh will be tested in battle. We are going to wash the greasy walls on the painting 100 years ago. So I will report back to you. In the meantime, the husband puts the experiment. Dust accumulates in the washer under the rubber bands and they turn gray. In short, while I was at the massage, I got a new washing machine at home!

[Nagy]

In, I also need to wash the rubber bands everywhere - in the PMM and in the washer and even in the refrigerator! Thank you, Nagy, for the idea! And nothing will happen to the rubber bands from the high temperature?

Mine are alive. I have a Bosch vertical, she is already 12 years old. My husband tried a bit of current at the top today.

Antonovka be careful. I also decided to blow the dirt and crumbs out of the gum lye in the refrigerator and it cracked at my fold. Now I don't think about cleaning the gum with a steam cleaner, I'm afraid. Better to walk with a brush. So try somewhere in the corner if you like before going through the entire section at once.

Or maybe the rubber band was already dry. They dry out in refrigerators. But I will not argue. My husband cleaned the current in the washer, went to specially checked it, everything is in place and lie tight, didn’t hurt when cleaning!

Girls, did anyone clean the bath? Washes away plaque? And then I was tortured to scrub with Silit, and the smell from it is nasty

Everything may be, I will not insist that this is precisely because of the steam, but it is better to warn.

Girls, did anyone clean the bath? Washes away plaque? And then I was tortured to scrub with Silit, and the smell from it is nasty

Girls, tomorrow I'll just tell you what was cleaned up. There is a bathroom and painted walls, and I will even try smoky ceilings. More precisely, I will report either in the evening or on Sunday morning. Wait!

Girls, did anyone clean the bath? Washes away plaque? And then I was tortured to scrub with Silit, and the smell from it is nasty

We clean the bath regularly. It seems to be steaming normally. But once, instead of a steam cleaner, we walked with a melamine sponge - the sponge was decently dirty. But that was not right after the steam session.

I ordered a jug Karcher SC 952, they will bring it on Tuesday! I just didn't understand what kind of attachments there are. Girls who have one, share info, pliiiz

[CLAW-Olya!]

CLAW-Olya! Be sure to sign off what and how, okay? Try everything and write what it cheats and how it cleans! We are waiting - WITH GREAT IMPORTANCE! And I read and read everything, then I lean towards one model, then to another, already in my head - a mess of information!

Girls, well, there is no way to reread all 66 pages. Can someone answer the question. Can a shower box (acrylic) and plastic panels be washed with a steam cleaner? I would be grateful for the answer

husband wiped it off. A lot of fuss, but apparently we just haven't adapted yet. True, the window was shining. My husband said that there was no point in buying a window brush, but I did not understand yet whether it was so or not.
<...>
I wanted to wash the batteries inside, but they are relatively new for me, the dust has accumulated inside there just - I didn't dare - I was afraid that the wallpaper would steam off, and I'm not sure about the laminate either.

I, too, did not try this window attachment the first time, and then ... It is very convenient for her. You just need to adjust
And about the laminate and wallpaper. I cover the laminate in such cases (when my huge mirror is on the closet). And the wallpaper ... I think you can hang it with oilcloth.

I also cleaned the rubber bands with a steam cleaner. It's just that I'm not very zealous with the steam supply to these same rubber bands. Otherwise, they can really deteriorate from high temperatures (dry out, burst, etc.).

Girls, did anyone clean the bath? Washes away plaque? And then I was tortured to scrub with Silit, and the smell from it is nasty

The steam deposit does not wash away, especially the old ones. To make it washed, you first need to apply citric acid or something similar to it. The current then clean off the plaque with a steam. I don’t wash my bath with steam. I only wash them the cracks near the drains on the bathtub, sink, kitchen sink. And then only after the treatment of these places with acid.

Can a shower box (acrylic) and plastic panels be washed with a steam cleaner? I would be grateful for the answer

I have not tried to clean acrylic. But once I cleaned (practically scrubbed) the white plastic baseboard at the countertop, so it swelled. And so ... the girls wrote that they were steaming the plastic panels. It seemed like everything was fine with them.

purchased for the sample Clathronic DR 2930 - clatronic 2930

What to say? Cool thing, of course, BUT I expected more
After all, hands are everything. And the cracks can be blown out with a vacuum cleaner or vice versa.
What I didn’t like was that the steam really blows hard for only ten seconds, then it wilts and we have to wait. By the way, the wallpaper (joints) went through - everything is ok, that is, the wallpaper remained in place, as did the spider web, which was just wet. Maybe a poor result from the fact that I chose the cheapest steam cleaner?

I support the previous speaker! And where do you think the cobweb should go after being treated with steam and plus a steam cleaner that has not yet drawn in itself? You can also blow out the slots with a vacuum cleaner, but the steam cleaner is designed for another purpose, like. me, too, a few days after I bought, but he fulfills my assigned real tasks. And I usually go through the cobweb with a special brush, which looks like a big brush.

Where was the web supposed to go?

I thought it would be swept away
Same story with old batteries (huge). A small part of the cobweb (or whatever is so shaggy) "jumped out", but most of it got wet and remained in the "intercostal spaces" of the battery, and, by the way, the drops of fat on the same battery did not want to disappear (hard sponge + anti-fat + hands + 10 min - no traces of fat).

This is how I clean up after the tenants (I was afraid that someone would think of me as a bad hostess, even funny for myself). Various chemicals, sponges, rags, and even gloves are tested, and the steam cleaner is on this list.

[Ira]

Ira, the steam cleaner softens the dirt, and not always the first time, after it you still need a rag.

Hello girls !!!!
Here, too, like Natalie, I cannot afford to read all 66 pages, because at work, and in general now I rarely go to my favorite site (all for the same reason), tell me if anyone has a Körcher steam cleaner -1020, in my opinion this marking .............. ... what are the reviews about him ??? Is it worth taking such a unit. My Karcher vacuum cleaner with a water filter is certainly good, but ................. I would really like a steam cleaner, the tiles need to be ripped out in the bath, and so hottsa ... .......... go tis ............... I would have a washing machine to wash rugs, carpets, or maybe a steam mona ???

I just want to ... if I really want to, then of course I will already fiddle with everyone and the lip will be cowardly (as always in front of the next device), but so far I have no desire to buy something from household appliances ... ........... ..... In times have come that I would not want anything ................ ... TIN

Svetik_, and please describe your impressions of the operation of your Körcher vacuum cleaner with a water filter (this is probably Körcher 5500 or 5600). Are you completely satisfied with his work, or would you take some other vacuum cleaner from your own experience? There are a lot of good reviews on the internet about him, well, except that he is big, if this is considered a disadvantage, but otherwise how is he? How well does it collect animal hair from sofas, chairs, armchairs, is it convenient to wash and clean it, how often do you have to change filters from your practice: pre-engine, which is an accordion, on the bucket lid, and which is HEPA-12 or 13 at the exit? Well, I really need advice that is independent and based on the practice of using such a vacuum cleaner. Do you add antifoam every time, how long is it?
And so as not to be driven out of this topic, please unsubscribe in the topic "What to buy a vacuum cleaner".
Thank you

[Melanyushka]

Melanyushka I answer ................. ...
My vacuum cleaner is probably 5 years old already ....... I took it even at a time when it cost 2200 UAH, expensive, but nothing can be done, I took filters to it, three or four times, the one that is not Nera, and in a bucket, then I also took a turbo brush to it, when my cat was alive, then we cleaned the pile once, I was happy with it, BUT ............ now I'm thinking that I would like a steam cleaner , but I'm not sure I need it ............... I want to wash the rugs, well then the washing one .............. voob why I don't know what I want ............
I have a DS 5500, I changed the filters about once a year, but HEPA only put the second one, because I saw that it was not dirty, soon it will be necessary to buy in reserve
It is convenient to wash it, but why is it not convenient ??? I washed the filter, if it got dirty and washed the bucket itself, I never added an antifoam ...it costs itself, somehow it is not enough .............. constant but toad strangled to buy something

Svetik_, thanks for your prompt reply! It is very important for me to hear a comment from the direct owner Körcher.
Regarding the steam vacuum cleaner, I don't even know if I really need to have it if I have a good vacuum cleaner, I have a small Klatronic steam cleaner, I manage to do all the necessary work - both the tiles in the kitchen and the stove I clean, I process everything in the bathroom, sometimes upholstered furniture I clean, there are different nozzles, only for furniture (or clothes, as it is correct to call it) I made new microfiber hoes, my relatives are already worn out, if this is a small carpet, I think the steam cleaner will also cope with this. Of course, we must listen to the girls who have large steam cleaners, they will tell you in more detail.
