- Description
- The product is a Steam floor washer. This is a cordless steam cleaner used indoors, on wood, vinyl, and tiled floors. The steam floor washer has an LED light display screen, 2 water tanks (one for clean water and one for dirty), motors and floor brushes. The cleaner also includes sensor technology that detects the amount of dirt and adjusts the cleanliness level. There is a boiler in the machine floor brush, which contains an electric heating rod. After the machine is powered on, water is pressed into the boiler through a steam pump from the clean water bucket. The electric heating rod in the boiler quickly heats the small amount of water. When the correct temperature is reached the water changes from liquid to gaseous water vapor. The water vapor is transmitted through to the air outlet of the floor brush and sprayed directly on the floor to remove dirt. Once the floor has been steamed, the main motor works to vacuum suction and recover the ground dirt back into the dirty water tank. The floor steam cleaner will need some assembly and is packaged with a manual and charging unit.
