    Thank you so much for posting I have bought so many steam cleaners which stopped working and I threw them out.This fixed my shaky floor mop, I do have a few spare ones now with this fix. This may mean I will never have to buy another one again. Yes the vinegar stinks but it cleaned my drains out amazing ❤

    Hi!
    I had this happen to me recently!! Freaked me out..hot water splattering everywhere!
    I cleaned mine with vinegar and distilled water as per instructions online!
    I too am guilty of not using distilled water!

    What happens if you out water in the hose compartment or get water in the front vent. Mine won’t create heat

    • @TailoredAndTeal
      @TailoredAndTeal  Год назад

      If water got into the front vent, it might have gotten to the heating element and that’s why yours doesn’t create heat. 😞

    I was lucky enough to thrift one of these yesterday… great video, thanks! Is the bonnet cotton (like a bathroom towel) or synthetic microfibre? Mine didn’t include one and I can’t seem to find the details, or replacement bonnets online. Now, armed with your info, I’m off to clean my steamer!

    • @TailoredAndTeal
      @TailoredAndTeal  Год назад +1

      Nice score on the second hand find!! Yes the bonnet is like a towel or Terry cloth material. But you can totally use a clean sock and a rubber band around the hose to secure it. I’ve used that method a ton when my bonnet was dirty. Good luck! 🤞

      Either do a vinegar steam or you can also buy a descaler to really get the build up out. Use some oven mitts if it’s too hot!

      There are hundreds of other steamer cleaning videos that you can watch if you don't like this one. Literally no one forced you to click on or watch the video. You also have the option to mute the sound or even speed up the video by whatever speed you'd like. But your need to criticize a helpful video, made by a complete stranger, for your benefit, says alotttttttt about youuuu. Just be kind and grateful
