Can I steam my mattress (and how)?

As it is a floor model only - I don't think so. If you crawled up on your bed to bring the unit up with you, it just would not work, as it clearly will not be flat like your floors to steam.

I Ordered the portable steam over a year ago and the steam maker was nothing more than a crock pot that never got hot enough. I bought a portable steam cleaner and hooked it up to the hose and it works great. Also the chair that came with it is usless for an adult. i am saving it for my grandaughter when we go the park. Good luck.

I have never used it for this. I think you can steam to maybe freshen furniture, but not like stain removal. I love it for Windows though! Hope this helps. I really like mine.

I don't believe this is recommended. The whole point of steam cleaning is to clean naturally, without additional chemicals. That's why I bought the machine, so I wouldn't have to use extra chemicals.

You cannot control the steam (vapor). I'm not sure what you're asking about keeping the plug in - are you asking about the electrical plug? If so, then "yes" you do.

In the user instructions I believe it is recommended you DO NOT. The extra chemicals shorten the life of heating element used to create the steam. Keep a little additional cleaner in a spray bottle and apply it directly to the floor if you wish.

This unit produces too much steam, in my opinion, to steam clothes. We use this wonderful little unit for small jobs, a big steamer for large jobs, and a dedicated clothes steamer on clothes. I have no idea how to reduce the pressure of this steamer to a level where it wouldn't blow your clothes into another room. Maybe you could get away with holding the tool about 2 feet from the garment. Who knows?

There isn't really a mechanism to push the steam. The straighter you can keep the hose the more the steam rises. But i found it chuggs a good amount of steam. It helps if you can hang your garment above the unit. I found that doing curtains while hanging took someone to hold up the bottom half. I am satisfied with this unit because my main issue was storing it .

As you are using only water in the steamer you should be able to clean a couch but there is no way with the steamer to extract the water you are putting on it. You may want to use a wet/dry vac to extract the water after you steam clean the couch.

Sorry, I didn't use it to steam clothes. I modified it to clean window tracks.

I have not tried to steam yet, but I would think draining the kitchen kettle and washing it out with hot water and Dawn dishwashing liquid would work as expected. I would not think there would be much difficultly. - Good Luck

Steam does not come out if you are not pulling the trigger. The pad however is wet so getting it completely dry isn't really an option unless you put on a new pad. The other day I dropped the cleaner tank and didn't have an issue using it to help clean that up.

Sure! It can be dialed to use minimal steam, especially for use on hardwood floors or other moisture sensitive areas. I recommend this machine. I use it regularly on my stone, laminate, carpet stains, bathroom tiles, bathroom fixtures (where hard-water gunk gets built up),and for "ironing". And it's easy enough that my special needs pre-teens are able to use it without supervision.

Steam water and clean with a cloth while still hot. Old restaurant trick...

I am sure that you can. I am not sure what you want to use it for but keep in mind that this does put out a significant amount of steam which may be invisible and will cook your skin on contact. Depending on the amount of water you put in it the time to get to the steam part will vary. I usually fill mine all the way up and it doesn't take too long to get going though. It just isn't as quick as say a clothes steamer. I have had zero problems with mine and it seems to be a good quality item. KEN

I don't think you can. From the research I've done you can only use essential oils in a defusier made for them. I've used the eucalyptus with baking soda to clean a mattress. That worked well. If you research you can find many ways to use it.

Yes you can! I never regretted purchase of this steamer . The red button on the handle once you press it, it lets out steam.
