• Cleaning Hard Floors

Cleaning hard floor efficiently, it is recommended to treat small area by small area. This can be done by starting first with steam only function to let the steam treat the dirt. When the dirt has melted, stop the steam and start vacuuming to collect all the dirt water from the floor. After which, you can move to the next area and do the same procedure until you are done.

The black water forming up on the treated area after steam cleaning will then be collected using the steam function of a steam vacuum cleaner. Activating the suction collects everything in the recovery bucket.

• Cleaning Carpets

Cleaning carpets effectively, it is recommended to use steam and vacuum function simultaneously. However, not all steam machines in the market has this feature, but with Tecnovap steam vacuum cleaners, it is guaranteed that it has this function.

Why use steam and vacuum function simultaneously? The reason this method should be used is because with steam only the carpet gets too much humid where germs and mites can proliferate and may take time to dry out.

At 4-6 bar pressure, hot dry steam is sprayed into the carpet deep inside the fiber where it can do its cleaning and disinfectant actions. With the vacuum function, the steam does not have the time to deposit in form of water because it will be sucked together with dirt, germs and other small particles.

Recently, most models of steam vacuum cleaner has a detergent injection/extraction function. This feature is very useful when there are high resistant stains that steam cannot get rid of. In this case, it is recommended to spray the detergent then working with vacuum simultaneously and brushing out the stains.
