The joys of a steam-cleaner

Friends and family agree that it is totally out of character but since taking delivery of my new steam-cleaner on Thurs I have been cleaning like a woman possessed. With dodgy wrists and elbows I have not been able to have a good old clean for ages but with my new toy I am catching up on all the spring-cleaning that should have been done years ago. So far it has proved itself great for windows, kitchen floors, wall tiles, shower cubicles, taps, lime scale on baths and spots on carpets. It comes with an impressive array of attachments and is easy and light to use. I even took it to my son’s flat today where it proved equal to the task of some tough cleaning. It cost almost ninety pounds but so far it seems to be worth it, especially considering how much cleaners charge. There is a hand held model in the same make but I have heard that it is not terribly effective. It’s even good for the “green” conscience as you don’t need any chemicals. All I have used so far is some vinegar to get rid of some stubborn limescale. I’m not usually one for gadgets but as you can tell I am feeling positively evangelical about it. I’d better not mention the make in case I am accused of advertising but if you have a look on Amazon you can’t miss it as it is bright yellow!
