Talk to me about steam cleaners

[motherofvikings]

Do I need one?

Where could I use it?

Which would you recommend? :)

My oven is looking grubbyand I hate chemicals!

My Karcher is brilliant. Transformed a tiled kitchen floor, which 'looked' clean. Reaches the angles which normal cleaning struggles to access. Great for speedy maxi-clean of childrens toys.
(now realises this sounds like a promo )

Lifts grease extremely well, but have never tried on an oven. Logic says it should work.

I was thinking of a handheld one.

The kitchen is fairly thin vinyl so not sure it would cope with steam.
The bathrooms will be having the carpet removed ASAP!

Can you use it on limestone? And original encaustic (?) tiles?
