Steam Cleaning Tips

For 25 years, I’ve been bringing you great innovative cleaning products. Included here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your Cleanica 360 Steam Cleaning System! — Anthony Sullivan

  • The Cleanica 360 is a lightweight, easy-to-use, versatile steam cleaning tool that can be used to clean almost any surface. It cleans with only water rather than chemicals, and when you’re finished cleaning, the water quickly evaporates, so surfaces dry fast!
  • The steam from your Cleanica 360 reaches over 200 degrees! It’s HOT, and it loosens dirt quickly. When using it as a handheld steamer, wipe down the surface with a dry cloth after cleaning the area with steam. NOTE: Always keep the steam facing away from you, anyone around you, and electrical appliances or outlets!
  • Remember to wait for the light in the tank to turn from red to blue. Then, just hold the steam button if you’re using the hand-held steamer and you’re good to go. It only takes about 20–30 seconds to start steaming.
  • The closer you hold the steam to the surface, the hotter it gets, so for tough messes, hold the steam or microfiber on the surface for longer to let the steam loosen the dirt or mess.
  • Keep the tank at least a quarter full; that way, you’ll never run out of steam.
  • To extend cleaning time, use the lowest setting. Keep the setting low when cleaning hard floors. You’ll have to refill less often and your floors will dry quicker.
  • Always keep the steamer moving on sealed hardwood and use it on the lowest volume of steam. The microfiber will still be hot, and less steam means less water left behind.

The Cleanica 360 is good at cleaning anywhere, but here are a few things it’s GREAT at:Cleaning Grout: Cleaning the grout lines between tiles can be tough with other cleaning methods, and grout lines can become dirtier than the tiles around them. But the Cleanica 360 comes with a specialized grout cleaning brush to easily clean out those grout lines.Doorknobs and Drawer Handles: The Cleanica 360 can quickly clean these small, frequently neglected areas.Steaming Clothes: The Cleanica 360 both helps  deodorize fabrics and remove wrinkles.Glass Windows/Doors: Use the window squeegee attachment to remove soap scum and grime from glass.Deodorizing Garbage Disposal: Freshen up your garbage disposal by using the Cleanica 360 in the handheld configuration, and let the steam loosen built-up fat and oil that can cause a stink coming from your sink!Cleaning around Pets and Kids: Because there’s no chemical residue from steam, it’s an effective way to clean up around pets and kids. Cleaning Around People with Allergies, Sensitive Skin, or Who Are Chemically Sensitive: If anyone in your household has allergies, the Cleanica 360 is a perfect solution. With steam, there are no chemicals in the air or on surfaces.Nooks and Crannies: The jet-like stream from the Cleanica 360 is incredible for cleaning hard-to-reach areas.Cleaning Food Prep Surfaces: Remember, most spray cleaners are loaded with chemicals. They can leave a toxic residue on a cutting board, inside a fridge, and in a microwave and oven. Steam from the Cleanica 360 uses only water!

THINGS YOU SHOULDN’T STEAM CLEAN:

  • Paper
  • Cardboard
  • Suede
  • Delicate fabrics, such as silk
  • Wallpaper
  • Anything covered in water-based paintIf in doubt, clean a small area first; if you like what you see, keep going! Enjoy your Cleanica 360.

Cleaning & Maintenance

  1. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
  2. Drain all the water from the Water Tank and clean the Water Tank after each use.
  3. With the Water Tank removed from the appliance, run the appliance for a short time to remove any residual water or steam from the appliance.
  4. Use detergent to clean the accessories when they are dirty. Then, rinse the accessories with water and air dry.
  5. NOTE: The interior of this appliance contains no serviceable parts. If any maintenance that requires disassembly needs to be performed on the interior of this appliance, contact customer service using the contact information on the back of this manual.
Descaling/Cleaning Limescale

If your appliance begins to produce steam more slowly than usual or stops producing steam, you might need to remove limescale from the interior of the appliance or the Water Tank. Limescale should be removed from the appliance every 25–50 times a full Water Tank is used and will need to be performed more frequently in areas with hard water. To clean limescale from the interior of the appliance:

  1. Prepare a cleaning solution of ½ cup white vinegar and 1 cup tap water. Add the cleaning solution to the Water Tank.
  2. Secure the appliance and aim the release of steam away from the floor and surrounding objects and surfaces.
  3. Turn the appliance on (see the “Using the Cleanica 360 Steam Cleaner” section) and let the appliance release steam until the Water Tank is empty.
  4. Repeat this procedure as many times as necessary until the appliance releases steam at a normal rate.
  5. Remove the Water Tank from the Main Body. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water and rinse out the Water Tank.
  6. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water, reattach the Water Tank to the Main Body, and let the appliance release steam until the Water Tank is empty.
Decalcifying the Water Tank Interior

To clean calcium deposits that build up inside the Water Tank:

  1. Remove the Water Tank from the Main Body (see the “Using the Cleanica 360 Cleaner” section).
  2. Add one or two tablespoons of white vinegar to the Water Tank.
  3. Fill the Water Tank with water.
  4. Close the Water Tank Cap.
  5. Shake the Water Tank.
  6. Remove any water and vinegar from the Water Tank before using the appliance again.
  7. Rinse the Water Tank.NOTE: Vinegar should only be used to clean the Water Tank. Do not turn the appliance on until the vinegar has been removed from the Water Tank.

Cleaning Blocked Steamer Accessories

Due to the high mineral content of water in some areas, you may notice that less steam comes out from the accessories. This reduced steam output can be caused by calcium buildup inside the tip of an accessory’s nozzle. To remove calcium build-up:

  1. Spray a small burst or two of spray lubricant (which can be found in any hardware store) inside the tip of the nozzle. Rinse and wipe away any spray lubricant. Attach the accessory to the appliance. Ensure that no lubricant remains before using the appliance.
  2. Fill the Water Tank with water and run the appliance for a few minutes (see the “Using the Cleanica 360” section). Ensure that the steam is aimed away from any sensitive surfaces that could be damaged by debris coming out of the appliance.

Cleaning the Microfiber Cleaning Pad

  1. The Cleaning Pad is machine washable. Use a warm setting and always use a mild detergent.
  2. To dry the Cleaning Pad, lay flat and air dry.IMPORTANT: Never use bleach or fabric softener when washing the Cleaning Pad.
Storage
  1. Turn the appliance’s power off and unplug the power cord. Let the appliance cool fully.
  2. Remove the Water Tank and empty any residual water. Clean the external surface of the appliance and any accessories with a dry cloth.
  3. Remove and clean the Cleaning Pad (see the “Cleaning the Microfiber Cleaning Pad” section).
  4. Store product in a clean, dry area away from children. Store the Water Funnel and Measuring Cup with the appliance.
