Why do they rarely buy their mistresses?

Mistresses, long accustomed to washing and dishwashers, washing vacuum cleaners and other wonders of modern technology, often indifferently pass by the windows, where the windshield wipers are on display. Scares them off, above all, a high price - you do not want to pay a tidy sum for a device that you may have to use once a year.

Mistresses are not quite right. A windscreen wiper, especially a steam cleaner, can process not only window panes, it is a multifunctional device. It successfully cleans many types of surfaces, while not damaging them. It removes stains and musty smell from furniture, and if necessary, will successfully replace even the iron.

• steam cleaners with special nozzles;
• portable windshield wipers using a special shampoo.

Choosing a steam cleaner with a nozzle

You still decided to buy a device for cleaning windows? And rightly so. The advantages of steam cleaning are obvious:

• steam is supplied under pressure;The
• vapor temperature is sufficient to eliminate bacteria;
• special nozzles allow you to reach the most problematic places.

The main criteria

But after all the models are a great many, steam cleaners are produced by many companies, so what to pay attention to? In addition to the price, you should be interested in:

• weight;
• dimensions;
• the size of the tank;
• power;
• heating time;
• type of heating;
• pressure;
• cord length;
• hose length.

Weight

Imagine how you will use this thing to wash high glass. You have to keep the steam cleaner in your hand for a long time, besides, it is possible that it will have to be raised high. And this means that the most important criterion, on which one should be guided, is weight.

The lighter the device, the less tired the hand.

Important! Note that the weight of the unit must be added and the weight of water that you pour into the tank. There are, of course, floor models, but there the possibilities are limited by the length of the hose and nozzle.

The volume of the tank

It would seem that everything should be the same as a washing vacuum cleaner, that is, the bigger the tank, the better. But in this case it's not quite true.

Large tank may be too heavy. The volume can be from 1 to 5 liters. The maximum that the owner of a portable steam cleaner can afford is 2.5 liters.

Power, time and type of heating

For a handheld steam cleaner, 1600 W is sufficient for washing windows. With floor-standing appliances, it can be much larger - up to 2300 watts.

The power directly depends on the heating time. The spread is large enough - from 1 to 10 minutes.

Important! But if the unit is low-power, this does not mean that you have to wait for ten minutes and then start washing the window. You can heat the water in a kettle, and then pour it into the tank - experienced housewives often do just that.

With regard to the type of heating, the steam cleaners can be:

• direct-flow;
• with a boiler.

Important! Using a boiler allows you to get a higher temperature. This option is more common. When buying, do not forget to see what the boiler is made of. The best material is aluminum, it allows the water to heat up very quickly. In addition, with it there are no problems during the operation of the device - on aluminum surfaces there is almost no scale.

Pressure

One of the most important technical characteristics is pressure. At household steam cleaners for washing windows it makes from 2 to 6 bar. But this is the pressure inside the container.

In the hose, and even more so in the nozzle, it will be somewhat less, and this must be taken into account.

Important! Practice shows that the aggregates, which have less than three bar, work poorly. The longer the hose and nozzle, the greater the pressure in the container.

Cord length

Window cleaning cleaners can operate in two modes:

• autonomously;
• from the network.

The length of the cord determines how convenient it will be to use the unit. However, if the cord is short - it does not cause any special inconvenience, because you can buy an extension cord at any hardware store.

Hose length

To an inexperienced hostess, it may seem that a long hose is very good. But it is not so. A long hose, of course, is convenient, since it gives you the opportunity to get anywhere. But it should be borne in mind that the steam has the property to cool down. And this means that a long hose( and nozzles) can only be a powerful steam cleaner, which gives a lot of pressure in the container.
