This article will describe the best maintenance procedures for your garment steamer–these tips will maintain your steamers maximum performance.

You will want to perform this maintenance about every three to six months depending on your supply of water. If your garment steamer is severely clogged, it will require that it be disassembled in order to prolong the life of the steamer.

It is recommended that you should take your garment steamer to a technician if it is required that you need to completely disassemble the unit.

1. Remove the hose attachment from the unit. Be sure to remove any excess water from your garment steamer.

2. The hose attachment could be blocked by sediment build-up–use a water hose to clean inside the hose. This should loosen and remove any build-up that may have occurred within the hose.

3. Clean the internal parts of the unit with some type of garment steamer cleaner. This cleaner is acid based so it will remove the hard water deposits as well as the sediment build-up.

4. Fill the unit with 1 gallon of water and add at least 10 ounces of your acid based cleaner. Turn the steamer on to preheat so that the water solution has to warm.

5. Turn the switch to off and unplug the steamer from the wall outlet. Allow the water and cleaning solution to remain in the steamer for 2-3 hours. Make sure nt to steam the unit with the solution in it as damage will occur.

6. Remove the cleaning solution from the garment steamer. Simply tip and pour the solution out where the hose was originally attached.

7. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water several times.

8. If discolored water is still present from the steamer, it may require this process being repeated.

9. Contact you garment steamer specialist for further instructions or questions.

These few bits of advice will allow you to get the most out of your garment steamer and keep your dry cleaning budget down to a minimum or zero.
