Which hand held steam cleaner do you use.? I bought one once but it never

worked. I got disenchanted but am now looking for another one.

Thanks, Melody

with a Clorox product called Clean Shower (I think it was called that). You

sprayed the walls of the shower and all the soap scum and mildew would float to

the tub. It worked. I loved it.

Same directions. As I sprayed it on the walls of my shower, well, I could not

breathe. It felt like I was in the gas chamber (and I have no idea what a gas

chamber would feel like) but I thought I was dying. I ran out of the bathroom,

ran into the living room, opened up the front door and stuck my face out in the

cold cold air. I just stayed there. It was the most horrible breathing

experience I have ever had. Thank god I was fine in a few minutes. I noticed I

didn't like the SMELL of that product either. It smelled like chlorine, strong

strong chlorine. I just through out the product and never used that or any other

kind of shower spray thing ever again.

I poured bleach down the drains in bathroom and even down toilet and flushed and

then rinsed, but it still smelled like chlorine for quite a while, but I thought

it was better than the smell of the sewer gas.  Then some days we have no

problem at all.  Don't know if it is some kind of weather inversion or

what.   Neighbors have had a problem with it too.  We are in a park with

private lines  and it was just a few homes with the problem. 

 

Don't know if there is a leak or what the problem is.  I sure don't like it. 

I did find a nice container with little balls of gel in it and that is taking

out any odors but it hasn't been bad there.  I did buy an air purifier and got

odor prefilder with charcoal.  Does help with dust but didn't do much if the

sewer gas picks up.  People are beginning to leave the park for the summer so

it may get better with less use in lines.

I have several of them. I have one I use just in my bathrooms (you CAN use the

same one all around the house, but I found one at a yard sale for next to

nothing, and it seemed better to have one dedicated for bathroom use, since you

can blast up under the toilet rim with it...didn't want to steam clean my oven

after blasting my potty, lol. I have a SCUNNCI brand, which I like a lot. I

used to have a Steam Buggy, but it was big and bulky, and when the new hand held

ones came out, I got those. I have the Bissel Steam Shot and the Lysol

Steamer-the lysol one has a container where you are meant to add a cleaning

agent, but since I don't use chemicals, I just add peroxide. I also have the

Shark vac then steam for my floors. I use a SCOOBA for mopping, but like to

" deep clean " with the steamer. I also have a Bissel carpet steamer, which will

heat/steam clean my carpets. I tried the Shark model that had a bazillion

attachments and microfiber cloths, but the chemical smell on the microfiber gave

me migraines, and I could NOT get them washed out...found out they treat them

with some chemical or the other, and it doesn;t come out. Overall, I am happy

with any of the steamers-you can get them for about 40 bucks at places like

BigLots. QVC or HSN, don't remember which, had a special on TWO of the Bissel

steam shots for about 50 bucks-well worth it.
