Accessories
Squeegee
Very useful for cleaning large windows, plastic material, ceramics, tile, or marble surfaces. How to use? Place the squeegee on the handle or use the extension tubes for hard-to-reach places. Steam abundantly, clean with a soft sponge, and remove excess water and dirt with the squeegee.
Concentrator
Very efficient for cleaning hard-to-reach places. Ideal for radiators, doorposts, roll-down shutters, or sanitary fixtures. The concentrator fits directly on the handle and can also be used with the extension tubes.
Detail brushes
Place the detail brushes on the concentrator, which can be connected directly to the handle or the extension tubes. It can be used to clean the seams of tiles, ceramics, or marble.
Using the Device
Wood, vinyl, and marble floors
Use the floor brush with a white cloth. Move the brush as you are mopping. When the cloth is soiled, allow it to cool, then turn the cloth over or replace it with a clean cloth. If you are working on a very dirty area, you can move the brush over the area slowly, several times. If it is a wood floor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture buildup in the wood. By cleaning with the cloth over the brush, you will not affect the shine on the floor.
To strip wax
Use fl floor brush for open areas, a detail brush for corners or tight areas – no towel, slow strokes. Work a small area at a time – remove the emulsified wax from the floor. When all of the wax has been stripped, immediately clean the floor and brushes with water before the residue has a chance to harden on them. Go back over the stripped area with the floor brush with a towel to remove any remaining residue before waxing.
To clean waxed floors
Wrap a clean towel around the floor brush, and rush quickly. This will cause the dirt to be removed, but not the wax.
Vinyl floors
Do not allow the heat to build up on any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.
Tile Floors
Use the concentrator with the detail brush attached to an extension. Have the floor brush with a cloth attached, ready as well. Clean the grout between the tiles with the detail brush. Remove the detail brush and attach the floor brush. Move the brush across the floor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue. For areas of tile that are very dirty, remove the towel and agitate with the brush. Do not let the area dry before you wipe it with a towel.
Spot cleaning (carpets)
Use the concentrator with or without the detail brush. Move slowly over the soiled area, allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate with a detail brush or a clean towel. Dab the spot with the towel (do not rub). Repeat as necessary to remove the stain. Vacuum only after the carpet has completely dried. Always test the colour fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous area before cleaning. If your Ultra Steam Shark II fails to remove stubborn stains, a commercially available carpet
shampoo may be required. Do not add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils, or any other chemicals to the water used in this appliance, as this may damage the unit or make it unsafe for use.
Upholstery
Use the floor brush attached directly to the hand grip with a clean white terry cloth. Use fast, light strokes to avoid getting the fabric wet. Be patient with stubborn spots. Work on a spot gently for no more than a minute at a time, then wait fi five minutes for the area to dry and repeat. Use circular movements or back-and-forth and side-to-side movements to get all sides of the surface fibers, then blot with a towel. Finish by brushing in one direction to give the fabric a uniform appearance.
Window, glass surfaces, and mirrors
Use the dual-edge glass and tile squeegee. Work with the vapor jet on using the top-to-bottom movements. Use the squeegee with the vapor off to clean the water from the DOMO DO230SR Handleiding Steam Cleaner on the glass. To do this without leaving streaks, use lateral movements from the top to the bottom of the surface.
Fiberglass or Stainless Steel Surfaces
Use the floor brush or detail brush. Slowly move the brush over the surface to be cleaned. The vapor will emulsify the dirt and grease on the surface. Follow behind with a terry cloth towel over the brush to remove excess moisture and residue.
Soap scum
Soap scum dissolves almost immediately under a combination of heat and moisture. Rinse the surface with a small amount of water afterwards, or go back over it once more with a clean terry cloth towel. Moving too slowly can dry out the soap scum and cause it to DOMO DO230SR Handleiding Steam Cleaner granulate on the surface. The surface will have a gritty feel. If this happens, apply vapor to the surface with the open brush again and re-clean.
Garden furniture
Use any of the brushes depending on the surface area. Work the DOMO DO230SR Handleiding Steam Cleaner quickly when cleaning resin outdoor furniture. Finish by wiping with a towel.
Blinds
Use the detail brush to clean blinds. Move the brush over the surface, allowing enough time for the vapor to penetrate. Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for colour fastness on fabric blinds before using. Finish by wiping with a towel.
Bathroom Areas
To clean the bathtub or shower area, use the detail brush for grout, shower door tracks, hard-to-get areas, and heavily soiled areas. The dual-edge window/tile squeegee DOMO DO230SR Handleiding Steam Cleaner will be the most efficient way to clean the rest of the area. Allow plenty of time for the heat to penetrate the surface. This is especially helpful in the shower area if there is tile or grout.
Wipe with a towel.
Removal of soap scum on tile, grout, and shower doors is also easier with the steam cleaner. To clean sanitary fixtures, use the concentrator with or without da detail brush. Use a terry cloth towel or paper towel to wipe up excess moisture and residue. To clean the sink and faucets, use a detail brush, then finish by wiping with a towel.
Exterior areas
To clean inside your car, use the floor brush with a terry cloth towel attached to clean upholstery and interior areas, just as in the home. You should not expose the bristles to leather – use only the brush with the terry cloth attached. For detailing the wheels, use the concentrator and the detail brush. Exterior windows are cleaned best by applying the vapor with the concentrator DOMO DO230SR Handleiding Steam Cleaner and following with a paper towel.
Artificial Plants
Use the concentrator with a brush attached to blow off the dust and dirt. Clothing: A vapor cleaning system is excellent for removing wrinkles from fabric. Simply “vaporize” the surface from a distance (30-45 cm). The dry vapor removes wrinkles without leaving the fabric wet, like ordinary fabric steamers do.
Nicotine and tar
Nicotine and tar dissolve at high temperatures and become a light yellow oil that has the consistency of sewing machine oil. When the nicotine/tar film is touched by a hot terry cloth clipped over the floor brush, it immediately dissolves and flows into the towel. You can remove it from flat surfaces as fast as you can move the brush over the surface.
Removing wax, tar, etc.
Many stains are only stuck on the surface of materials and can be easily and quickly removed by “blowing” excess material away from the surface from the side. This is accomplished by using the concentrator. Hold the terry cloth to the side to catch the loose residue as it is blown by the concentrator.
Care & Maintainance
If you consistently use demineralized or distilled water, cleaning the tank is unnecessary. Normally, a periodic rinse of your Ultra Steam Shark II will free it from deposits. This is recommended every 10 – 15 tankfuls to free up any scale deposits from the tank. Fill the boiler with water and shake the cleaner vigorously. Tilt the cleaner upside down to empty DOMO DO230SR Handleiding Steam Cleaner the boiler of water and any scale deposits.
Descaling
If the tap water in your area contains a high level of calcium deposits and you have been using tap water to do your steam cleaning, you should descale your unit after 10 – 15 tankfuls.
- Step 1: Unplug the steam cleaner from the power source before you descale the boiler. Allow to cool.
- Step 2: Fill the boiler with 1 part vinegar and 4 parts water and leave overnight or for a period of approximately 8 hours. Do not screw the safety/filler cap onto the steam cleaner while you are descaling the boiler. Do not use the steam cleaner while the scaling solution is inside the boiler.
- Step 3: After the period of soaking, turn the steam cleaner upside down to empty the solution from the boiler. Due to the fact that a small amount of solution will be left in the boiler, it is necessary to rinse the boiler out with clean water 2 or 3 times. Your steam cleaner is now ready for use.
Attaching the Shoulder Strap
Using the detachable shoulder strap allows for greater freedom of movement when both hands are needed for various cleaning tasks. To attach the shoulder strap to the steam cleaner, simply snap the shoulder strap hooks onto the connection rings on the unit body. When using the Ultra Steam Shark II with the shoulder strap, avoid rocking or tilting the unit excessively, as this may cause water to enter the hose and be discharged along with the steam.
