With regular use any steam cleaner will require some regular care and maintenance. Cleaning and caring for your steam cleaner after effective steam cleaning will vary by model, but in general, steam cleaner maintenance itself is simple and an easy way to protect your investment. CARING FOR YOUR STEAM CLEANER Starting out and moving inward, remember to wash the cloths, bonnets, or towels you use with your steam cleaner. It's preferable to wash them in hot water without the use of fabric softener. While drying, avoid using dryer sheets. Dryer sheets contain chemicals and fragrances that when heated are then absorbed by the clothes you are drying, and with steam cleaning, you are trying to remove chemicals. In addition to this, fabric softeners and the chemicals in dryer sheets can reduce to absorbency of the cloths by clogging the tiny pores in the material. Attachments and the vapor steam cleaner or steam mop itself can be periodically wiped down to remove any debris that may on the exterior or stuck in bristles. Check for signs of wear and replace attachments as needed. You'll find that the smaller bristle brushes (both nylon and brass), tend to wear the most from use. After using a steam mop, it is generally recommended that you drain the tank between uses. This is generally a simple process that takes little time since most units have smaller reservoirs and are lightweight. Some, like Reliable steam mops, have a water tank that can be removed and easily emptied. Larger, canister style models will often have a drain plug to make this process easier, but once all the water has been drained, allow the steam mop to air dry before sealing the system back up and storing. With larger steam cleaners, draining does not have to be done as frequently. Every 2-4 weeks you should drain your larger or canister style steam cleaner. Nearly all have drain plugs and come with fitted tools to remove the plug. KEY STEAM CLEANER MAINTENANCE TIP - REMOVING SCALE Removing hard water scale is often the most common and overlooking aspect of steam cleaner maintenance. Because it often involves a part of the steam cleaner you cannot see (the boiler), it is that much more important to remember. Minerals are found in nearly all kinds of water, but in a traditional boiler system steam cleaner, as the water is heated and converted to steam those minerals can be left behind and form a scale of mineral deposits in the boiler tank. Unless you are using a Ladybug steam cleaner with the TANCS option, at some point your steam cleaner will likely develop this mineral scale in the boiler system. Ladybug steam cleaners with TANCS are largely exempt from this since the naturally occurring minerals found in tap water are actually utilized by their antimicrobial system and play a key role in the TANCs system being the only EPA registered disinfectant that is NOT a chemical. So for other canister steam cleaners, you will likely have to remove the scale from their internal systems to keep them functioning at their full capacity. Build up can eventually impeded the flow of water and steam through the system and lead to premature failure of your steam cleaner. This, however, isn't as difficult as it sounds. Some steam cleaners come with descaling agents, and there are a variety of descalers out there for use in steam cleaners, humidifiers and other home appliances where water is vaporized. But whether you are using a descaler you purchased or making your own from simple baking soda and water, cleaning is the same.
