Q:Can I use my garment steamer outside of the US?
A: At this point Steam and Go’s garment steamers can only be used in the U.S as they run on a standard 110 Voltage.
Q: My garment steamer has stopped working, the indicator light comes on but no steam?
A: Check the hole on the top of the water tank. If it is clogged, it will stop water from getting into both the body and boiler of the steamer. Clogging of these holes or tank is he outcome of mineral buildup. To avoid build up, we recommend using distilled water. Alternatively, you can try to drain your steamer’s water tank after each use to avoid mineral buildup.

  4. Drain the water from the unit

Q: How long should I allow water to sit in my garment steamer?

A: Steam&Go® garment steamers, steam mops and steam appliances can hold water for extended periods of time since all of our appliances are constructed of high quality, patented, durable aluminum boilers. We recommend draining the water from your steam appliance every 30 days, in other words – do not let water sit in your steam appliance for more than 30 days.

Here are some additional care & maintenance tip to prolong the life of your steamer:

  • Use only distilled water
  • Do not let water sit in your steam appliance for more than 30 days
  • Every 45-60 days, cleanse your steam appliance with a solution of 50% vinegar + 50% distilled water – this will prevent against build up and clean the boiler
  • Wipe down your steam appliance with a damp cloth after every use to prevent water spots and build up

Q: Can I use additives with my Garment Steamer water?
A: No, you should not use any additives (perfumes, dyes, , essential oils, salts, etc.). Doing so may result in damage or cause internal build-up in your Garment Steamer. Distilled or filtered water is strongly recommended.
