- Pour clean water into the steam cleaner container. For steam generators, filtered water (without impurities) is recommended.
- In case of heavy contamination, if such a possibility is indicated in the instructions for the device, use a detergent. Add it to the tank, directly into the water.
- Put the steam generator into operation and gently move the nozzle over the furniture.
- After treating the fragment, immediately blot the area with a clean microfiber cloth – several times. If the stain does not come out right away, or if a dirty streak remains, repeat the steaming and rag drying procedure several times.
- The main thing is to make sure that the upholstery does not become very wet, for this, control the steam supply pressure in the device.
