Whats wrong with what the manufacturer advises? Is it too expensive? Can you use kettle de-scaler? Its only limescale after all. Ask your local stockist, he may know a trick or two.
i am assuming it is the GS7RW garment steamer and not actually a vacuum cleaner.
any electrical item with a heating element should be used with distilled or de-ionised water. if you live in a "hard water" area where the water contains dissolved calcuim salts, these will cause scaling and furring up of the heater element. easiest way to tell is to look inside your kettle. if there are white deposits on the base or heating element, your steamer will get the same deposits and work less effectively.
another option is to use the scented ironing waters available from many supermarkets for use in steam irons. these will not harm your steamer, and will also make your clothes smell nice as they come in a range of scents.
depending on the joint but holding it over the steam of a boiling kettle or wrapping a tea towel around the joint and pour boiling water on it, allow to sit 2 minutes then separate. Be careful and wear thick gloves
do you not have instruction book opration guide?? to make steam you req water then a method of heating it thus produce of steam results and pressure which expels via a nozzle ? just like the electri kettle
Hi you need to put 5ml of Kal Stop fo Polti machines into 1000/1500ml of water into the tank, The stronger solution is better (1000ml) Let it heat up and this should break down the limescale on the solenoid. I tried this today and it has worked saving ££££'s in repair by Polti.
