I just bought a steam cleaner from Aldi but need some advice on how touse it. I does come with a sparse pamphlet but that just explains thebuttons, not the technique.I tried to clean some candlesticks but the old wax refused to melt.I pointed it at a dirty wall and apart from creating a lot of steamnothing seemed to happen.Should I use a brush or something with it? I tried working at the dirtwith the steam in conjunction with a paintbrush and that seemed to dosomething, but I can't see what the steam cleaner is supposed to doover and above that I can do with a damp cloth.Can anybody make any suggestions, before I return it to the store?

Out of curiosity what did you buy it for intentionally?

How should I use a steam cleaner?

I have one of those and cleaning the cooker is the last thing I would have thought to use it for.

Not a chance, but I'm having so much fun (in your mid seventies your ideas of fun tend to change from those in the first 5 decades don't they?) so don't spoil it for me.(:-
