Note: Always allow the brushes to cool
down so that any deformation of the bristles
is avoided.

with repeated cleaning procedures.
– Elimination of odours and wrinkles from
hanging pieces of clothing, by steaming
them from a distance of 10-20 cm.

their maximum values immediately when
they are emitted from the nozzle.

mended for hard to reach areas.

or carpets prior to the use of the brush.
