Default Quick steam cleaner query

I reckon if you squirt steam at a double-glazed panel it's gonna crack, my

I would guess that the localised heat would set up stresses in the
glass and that it might well shatter. Glass doesn't always shatter
straight away. You can drop a glass, pick it up then have it shatter a
week latter untouched, in the cupboard.
