The cleaning procedure below is recommended as a regular maintenance measure to help your steamer maintain its maximum steaming performance.
You will want to perform this maintenance about every three to six months depending on your supply of water. If your garment steamer is severely clogged, it will require that it be disassembled in order to prolong the life of the steamer.
The best place to take your garment steamer to be completely disassembled is to a steamer service technician.
1. Remove hose attachment from unit at the brass coupling using a wrench. Pour out any remaining water from your unit.
2. The hose attachment could be blocked by sediment build-up--use a water hose to clean inside the hose. This should loosen and remove any build-up that may have occurred within the hose.
3. To clean the internal parts of your steamer, use of the garment steamer cleaner (10 ounce bottle is recommended). The cleaner is acid-based and will remove hard water deposits and sediment build-up.
4. Fill the steamer with a gallon of water and add at least ten ounces garment cleaner. Turn the steamer on to preheat and allow water and solution to warm.
5. Turn the switch to off and unplug the steamer from the wall outlet. Allow the water and cleaning solution to remain in the steamer for 2-3 hours. Make sure nt to steam the unit with the solution in it as damage will occur.
6. Remove the cleaning solution from the garment steamer. Simply tip and pour the solution out where the hose was originally attached.
7. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.
8. If discolored water is still present from the steamer, it may require this process being repeated.
9. Contact a garment steamer specialist for further questions.
These few bits of advice will allow you to get the most out of your garment steamer and keep your dry cleaning budget down to a minimum or zero.
