When my former tenant moved out he didn't have time to clean and asked me to hire a housecleaner. She arrived armed with a hand-held steamer which she used on almost everything! I always go through the unit with a toothbrush (yes, really!) and it is spotless. But using the steamer saved a lot of elbow grease! It came with a little squeegee just below the steam spout, and she had to use only one hand to do the shower. Cleaned from the top down, the steam dissolved the scum the squeegee wiped it off. And no scratching of the finish! Even after knowing its clean when I do it, the use of sterilizing steam gave me a tremendous peace of mind! I'll be calling her for the move-outs from now on.
I'm looking for the perfect steamer for my own use now. But every time I think I've found it I read the user comments and get scared off. Anyone here who just loves their steamer??
