My husband kindly bought me my first Polti 2 weeks ago. I have been steam cleaning for around 8 years now and loved all my steam cleaners but this is in a different league. I have cleaned my bathroom, including ceramic tiles, bath, porcelain sink and toilet bowl, vinyl floor tiles, windows and upvc window frames. Have cleaned the kitchen, including glass hob, double oven, porcelain sink and drainer, worktops, cupboards inside and out, fridge, freezer, dustbin table and vinyl floor. I then attacked the bedroom. Dusted every surface with it. Oak wardrobes, spray steam over wardrobes and units from about 8 inches away, the steam is not so hot at that distance then just boff over with a microfibre cloth. The bed was steam cleaned too, matress, headboard, divan bottom, pillows and duvet. Nothing was wet or damp, everything smells fresh and it is not hard work at all. The only products you need in your home are washing up liquid or dishwasher tablets or powder. All the cloths go in the washing machine on a hot wash with washing liquid or wash balls, do not use fabric softener as this stops the cloths absorbing and could leave streaks on surfaces.
This model comes with an iron which attaches to the steam unit. It really did cut my ironing down by at least half. Fold a duvet cover in half and iron only one surface, it really does work. I also ironed a lot of things on the hanger with just steam, again creases just fall out. I am actually looking forward to ironing again.
