High temperature steam can make it easier to remove stubborn household dirt from
hard surfaces such as ovens, stove tops, kitchen counters, sinks, tubs, bathroom tiles,
windows and mirrors without the need for harsh chemical cleaners. The appliance has
various attachments which enable it to be used for cleaning different types of surfaces
such as:

Upholstery, sealed grout, bathroom/kitchen tile, stovetops.

Easily cleans difficult to reach areas with the concentrator such as faucets, etc.
