Floors

Bathroom
- Cleans up all the surfaces well in the bathroom. Again you do need to wipe down with a cloth afterwards
- Using on discoloured grout there is an improvement
Windows

Upholstery
- The upholstery tool worked well on an old sofa. Bringing back the original odour and removing some old stains. The sofa dried well afterwards
Radiator
- Used to clean the dust from radiators. Did this by aiming a jet of steam inside the radiators. Then cleaning up the resulting dust
