I got one these used the other day for $ 10.00 and operation looks pretty simple. I have no manual. I filled the unit with water and let it heat up. I then put it on the floor so the little holes in
the bottom could steam blast the floor. I tried to run it over the linoleum to remove a stubborn stain and I got a little puddle of near boiling hot water deposited on the floor that did not do much in the way of cleaning.
1: Isn’t this thing supposed to “steam” not dump hot water on the floor. Am I over filling it?
2: How the heck is hot water by itself going to clean the floor? Do I have to follow it around with a towel and scrub brush? A pail of hot water and a brush would seem to be more efficient.
3: It says (on the machine) “for use on hard floor surfaces” but wouldn’t this damaged hardwood floors?
This things not going to steam blast is it?
