Great tool for difficult jobs

After recent work on my condo I mentioned to a friend that my place was a mess. He offered to come over and help clean things up. He brought a tiny Mr. Steam with him. This cleaned the kitchen and bathroom sinks, the toilet and the bathroom floor very well and very quickly.

I went out and purchased a Shark Ultra Steam Blaster S3325 / Euro-Pro S3325 at Target. This is larger steam cleaner with 1.4 liter water tank and 1500 watt heater. I first used this to get salt water taffy off my kitchen floor. The salt water taffy dissolved quickly and I wiped it away. I next used it on my glass stove top. Although not all the baked on food came off, it was cleaner than it had been in a year. I think a second cleaning may get the stove top back to new. The steamer did much better in both cases than a non-scratch plastic sponge and all sorts of cleaners, orange, green, clear...

I had tried to stain the grout in my bathtub area. I did not get back to cleaning the tile until too late. The stain included a sealer that would not clean up easily with a non-scratch plastic sponges and green, orange and clear cleaners. I used the steamer and included nylon brush. In about an hour 95% of the goop was gone. I'll go back over the last 5% this coming weekend.

I used this on the inside or my microwave, swiping all inside surfaces. A no elbow grease wipe down of the inside with a couple of paper towels and the microwave sparkled like new.

In all cases you use a lot of paper towels to wipe up the water and residue after steaming.

The unit came with nylon and brass brushes, a floor cleaner and extension wands, which all worked well. I have not used the included squeegee, concentrator, diffuser / garment steamer. The switch on the handle turns the steam on or off. There is also a 700 ml measuring cup that would lead you to believe that the tank is only 700 ml. The tank is 1400 ml and can be filled twice from the measuring cup. I would recommend the big steamer units for heavy work.
