Finish the process by wiping the cleaned windows dry with a clean, dry cloth. This will ensure a streak-free result and give the windows a glossy finish.
2. Cleaning joints
Start by cleaning the higher parts of the bathroom, as dirt will fall onto lower surfaces. I always prefer to start with the grout, using the steam cleaner with the special grout attachment. This attachment is particularly effective in removing mold and dirt between the grout, giving the grout a fresh look. Don’t forget to wipe off the loosened dirt with a cloth.
3. Shower head
Clean the shower head by taking it apart and soaking it overnight in a mixture of vinegar and water. This process ensures that limescale and dirt is effectively removed. Rinse the shower head well and reassemble it. For stubborn dirt, you can use the steam cleaner to gently clean the holes. Do not use any cleaning agents to prevent damage.
The rest of the shower is easy to clean and disinfect using the steam cleaner and the supplied attachment cloth.
4. Cleaning the sink
Clean and disinfect the sink by using the steam cleaner. Use the included brush to effectively remove dirt. Then switch to the attachment with the cloth to pick up all the loosened dirt. For hard-to-reach places, such as around the tap, you can use the extension attachment. The hot steam not only ensures a thorough cleaning, but also has disinfectant properties, leaving the sink hygienic.
5. Shower window & curtains
To clean the shower door you can use the attachment for
windows, which makes it easy to remove soap scum and stains. When cleaning curtains, start by using the regular steam outlet to loosen the dirt. Then go over the curtains again with the attachment with the attachment cloth to pick up all the loosened dirt particles, so that you achieve a thorough clean.
6. Cleaning tiles
Start by directing the powerful jet of steam onto the tiles to loosen grease, dirt and bacteria. Then use the steam cleaner’s brush attachment to tackle any stubborn dirt and stains. Finally, for a thorough finish, attach the attachment with the cloth to wipe down the tiles and leave a clean shine. A big plus is that you don’t use chemicals, which are bad for you and the environment.
