Techweise steam cleaners are known for their many attachments. But which attachment do you use for what? We'll explain below:

• (floor nozzle): Perfect for cleaning hard floors (tiles, laminate) together with the microfibre cloths.
  
• White upholstery attachment/anti-scratch cloth: Suitable for cleaning fabric or scratch-prone surfaces such as sofas, induction hobs, extractor hoods and more.
  
• Black nylon brushes: For scrubbing away stubborn dirt on small surfaces, grout lines, taps and more. The different materials suit different surfaces (for example, brass for stubborn dirt on the BBQ and nylon for softer surfaces).
  
• Green scouring pad: For surfaces you'd normally clean with a scouring pad, such as the basin, the drain, tiles and more.
  
• Jet nozzle: Creates a concentrated jet of steam for cleaning small gaps, corners, grout lines and hard-to-reach spots.
  
• Window squeegee: For streak-free cleaning of windows, mirrors, tiles and other smooth surfaces. The steam loosens the dirt and the rubber blade wipes it away.
  
• Carpet glider: For refreshing and disinfecting your carpet. Click it onto the mop head together with the microfibre cloth to steam your carpet.
  

1. Use a small brush. Click it onto the jet nozzle (see the manual).

2. Then scrub back and forth over the surface you want to clean.

3. Dealing with really stubborn dirt that won't all come off? You can always use a little bleach. Only do this as a last resort.

4. Enjoy your clean grout lines!

Dealing with really stubborn dirt that won't fully shift? You can still use a little bleach. Only do this as a last resort. Pour some bleach into a spray bottle and mix it with water. Spray it onto the grout and leave it for 10 minutes. Then steam again.

There are several ways to clean your windows. Below, you'll find two effective methods:

Cleaning windows with the squeegee: watch the video here

1. Click the triangular brush and the white cloth onto the steam gun.

2. Then clean the whole window with the white cloth.

3. Next, click the window squeegee onto the steam gun.
Please note: use no steam. while squeegeeing. Otherwise the window will stay wet.

Hold the squeegee at a slight angle to the window rather than completely straight. This helps prevent streaks. Now squeegee the whole window dry.

Still getting streaks? Skip the squeegee and dry the window with a dry microfibre cloth instead.

2. Cleaning windows with the microfibre cloth: Watch the video here

1. First, attach the extension tube to the steam gun. Then attach the triangular brush to the extension tube.

Once the triangular brush is attached, let it steam for a moment before wrapping the white microfibre cloth over the brush. This clears any excess water from the machine first, so the white cloth doesn't get too wet.

2. Always test the steam on a hidden spot first, then move slowly back and forth over the surface you want to clean.

The hot steam at 100°C kills all bacteria. Don't stay in one spot for too long. Keep moving the whole time. Your mattress is now fully cleaned and bacteria-free!

You can use the steam cleaner on many types of sofa, but it's important to consider what your sofa is made of. Here are a few guidelines:

Suitable for steam cleaning (always check the care instructions for your sofa first):

1. Fabric sofas
2. Microfibre sofas

Not suitable, or take extra care:

1. Leather and suede sofas
2. Velvet sofas
3. Wooden or metal parts

Tips for safe use:

• First things first: Always test the steam cleaner on an inconspicuous area of the sofa to see how the material reacts.
• Drying time: Make sure the sofa can dry properly after cleaning to prevent mould.
• Attachments: Use the right attachments (triangular brush and white anti-scratch cloth) and keep the steam cleaner moving so the fabric doesn't get too wet.

Suitable for steam cleaning:

1. Synthetic carpets
2. Short-pile or flatweave carpets
3. Stain-resistant carpets
4. Short-pile or flatweave carpets

Low-pile carpets are easier to steam clean because the moisture doesn't soak as deeply into the fibres.

Stain-resistant carpets

Carpets with a special stain-protection coating or treatment are usually suitable, but check the manufacturer's recommendations first.

You can remove loose dirt with water and washing-up liquid. To disinfect the brushes, put them in boiling water for 5 minutes. This kills bacteria. The anti-scratch cloth and mop pads can be washed at 60 degrees.

No, steam and silicone sealant don't mix. The high steam pressure can strip the sealant away. Always clean silicone sealant with a soft cloth instead.
