Any suggestions for a reliable multi-purpose hot steamer? must be able to spray directly into cracks, crevices, and the corners where rug meets wall

Yes, the handles are too flexiable and the pad does not stay on like it should. Should come over the top and tie with a drawstring. Would work much better, I am very disappointed. Kareen Newsom

The instructions suggest checking with manufacturers of wood floors before using. Also suggests an inconspicuous area to test before proceeding. The steam cleaner can be used for fabric, upholstery, etc. and other surfaces that can be exposed to water and temps of about 212 degrees. So far I have used my Wagner on my bathroom tile walls, floors, shower and even the counter tops, mirrors, toilets. I cleaned the top edge of my tile (up against the painted wall) with no problems. I dried the area immediately and did not use the power nozzle tool to keep from damaging the paint. I don't know if I would use it on wood paneling or a large painted wall area. Would want to test area myself and not sure which tool could be used on these areas without damage. There is a squeegee, a somewhat coarse brush and three other tools that provide a smaller more intense pinpoint of steam. Hope this information is enough to help you make a decision.

You can but I wouldn't buy it for that. It is the best steamer for floors I have had and I owned three other brands. Use distilled water or you will clog this unit up with water gunk.

I definitely would recommend going with another steamer/vacuum. Though I cannot give advice as to which brand.

Yes, even ones with deep patterns. As with all steamers, make sure to keep the unit moving on not sit in one spot too long. It could damage the floor

Once the repair is made, it is completely hard and should not be affected by home steam cleaning. A few tilers have told me that steam is not recommended for tile and grout, as steam can expand and contract grout, causing cracks. I assume a small Shark-type steam cleaner is fine. In any event, this product is great and I have used it on several chips and kitchen counter top. It holds up and, to me, seems just as hard as the tile.

Hi Larena. I don't know about the other steam cleaner that is on Amazon. You might ask someone who bought it what they thought about it. I can only tell you that the Steamfast will not do the job. Good luck in your search. I hope you find something that works for you.

K-You can steam anything with this machine. I have not used it on an area rug but I do believe it wouldn't be a problem. You have to remember this is not a carpet cleaner but a steamer so you will not be able to extract the water from the rug. If you didn't soak it and just ran over it I don't see the problem. I am no steam expert but I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. You could always steam the area and blot it with a towel. You will find a million things to use the steamer on. It is great for deep cleaning I only wish I had more time to use it. I hope this helps. Sheila

I would say yes BUT test in the floor by spraying the floor and then using the steamfast. I'm concerned about the effects of hot vinegar. Lastly, if that is ok, make sure to rinse out the resevoir after each use

I do use it on mine, it helps with hard to reach areas and loosens and cleans, it won't do it all, of course, you still need to wipe with a clean rag, on hard areas I always dry clean with a soft brush and rubbing alcohol first, then continue on with the steam, be sure the fabric you are using it on will withstand water or steam though. Works good for the mats and rugs, still have to wipe and brush of course, but makes the job so much easier and looks so much more finished in the corners and cracks where you can't reach. I really like my steamer, use it on most everything, saves my fingers and hands with arthritis. I have a bigger machine also, but I grab this one evrytime unless it's for a floor.

I personally would not use it on a sofa--no way to concentrate the steam, just end up with wet spot. Can you get the cushion covers off, and just wash in machine. To get the dry covers back on easily, wrap cushions in split garbage bag to make them slide, and pull out the plastic when finished. I would just grub at the sofa arms with a warm wet rag. I have pets, and have washed my microfiber sofa three times in five years. The steamer is great on hard surfaces--soft, not so much.

That's because that steamer is garbage. I've returned 2 of them. Go to bed bath and beyond. I got a conair one for 50 dollars and it's lasted 6 months. Works perfect everytime

The steamer part is pretty easy to use in my opinion. Fill the compartment with water, set the vacuum on the pad and turn the dial to steam. I have tile flies and have not noticed streaking. The vacuum container does need cleaned after each use because it's pretty small and really affects the suction if full. Works great for my kitchen to vacuum and steam. Not for the whole house and lots of carpet.

My sister has one and uses it for everything. I think the one I bought is defective though. Steam only lasts a couple of minutes so it's pretty useless.

I think it would work very well as there is sufficient amount of steam which is very hot and should not only clean the floor but also sanitize it.

Good question. I'm not aware of one and not sure they would even make that sort of attachment since they sell the bigger units for that purpose and want you to buy those :-) I use mine for small areas of floors and carpets and it goes pretty fast as the hose is long enough that I don't have to bend "too much" but it would definitely be uncomfortable for large areas unless you have a stool or chair with wheels that you could sit on and roll from on side of the room to the other as you steam the floor. Sorry I'm no help on this one.

I have used this steamer to steam a gown made of slipper satin and I am happy with the results. I have had others steamers but have gotten the best results with this one. Very professional.
