Does the steam cleaners shown on Infomercial's really work as they appear to
do? I'm looking at a "Scunci" Hand-Held Steamer in a Harriett Carter
catalog for $59.95. Anyone have any experience with these. TIA
i got a commercial steam cleaner that can clean anything... but is too
big and messy to work inside the house with.. used it for cleaning a/c
units years ago.. without any chemicals(soaps) it would blow away the
crud in the inside of the coils on the window a/c units.. it would get
rid of any grease, oil, wax, you name it the stuff looked brand new
after using it.. the small hand held units ????? but i do remember years
ago buying a small plastic, plug in the wall thing for steaming
clothes... fill it up with about 1 pt. of water and plug it in and the
steam(oh forgot you had to add salt to the water first) and you would be
able to steam your clothes and it would remove the rinkles from the
clothes..... it was the salt added to the water that made it steam
because the boiling point of water is lower with salt in the water... so
you have steam.....i think i paid about $12.00 for this thing about 35
yrs ago.. still got it, but never use it.. back then i needed something
to get the rinkles out of clothes(dry clean type clothes)... dont
really need it anymore...
