I was skeptical too, I still am. But the link is worth watching anyways. When she first started spraying it, I though she sprayed it in her face, and was wondering why it wasn`t scalding her. Then they zoomed in and ruined my day.
So... How well would steam cleaning work on exteriors?
Just be careful with the little hand-held ones. I had the earlier Bissell model, and while it was surprisingly effective and very handy, when it developed problems it scalded me but good.
Great writeup.
I`m interested in steam washing my entire car. There are several steam cleaners that say they are car friendly. has anyone done this yet? is it safe on the paint?
Thanks for the write up. I was thinking about trying a unit like that. I also wanna use it on door jambs were grease and grime are always in the hard to reach areas.
Just bought Bissell Handheld Steam
I hope it works !
Learning~! :buffing:
I got it and tested Bissel Handheld steam.
Not enought hot steam to remove anything.
Too weak. I doubt if it can clean anything in bathroom.
I will try more if it comes out more hot steams.
I am lazy to return it lol

drifts500- Eh...you might still find it useful for not-too-bad jobs around the house. I used mine on the frames of my house`s windows and their crank-out mechanisms.
I dont know if I got broken one or something...it is not hot.
I can even spread it to my arm even the red lights turn off
Learning~! :buffing:

I also had my car detailed using steam, but by a pro. How much does a steamer cost anyway? I might do it myself next time.
crisR- Welcome to Autopia!
I don`t have a really decent answer for you, but there`s a *huge*, wide range of steamer prices. One like my Daimer is over a grand, but there are some decent ones for a few hundred. Even the really cheap ones can satisfy some people, just be careful with those as when they fail they can scald you (guess how I know).
What are some things to look out for in a steamer? (i mean the last thing i wanna do is melt something off or ruin something....)

You want something powerful enough (for me, more power is better, period). Safe and reliable. There are a scad of different features and it`s easy to spend a fortune. It`s also easy to buy something inexpensive and have to replace it right away
Sorry, that`s not much of an answer, but IMO it boils down to how much you want to spend (oops, that borders on a pun).
I guess quality is what I`m after for the best price possible lol I`m just new to the whole steam cleaning thing--and I can definitely see myself ruining something
