Summarize the following:
Whenever you want to clean your steamer, you need to first make sure that the machine is completely turned off and unplugged from any electrical source. Cleaning the machine while it is on could lead to a potentially dangerous situation. Cleaning the steamer while it's on could lead you to hurt yourself, damage something nearby, or even ignite a spark. Use a damp washrag to wipe down the exterior of your steamer. This should be strong enough to clean off any minor dirt and grime that has built up during use. Be sure to use warm water when you dampen the washrag. If this doesn't seem to work, you can add a few drops of white vinegar to the damp washcloth to give it a more powerful cleaning. If your steamer has a hose attachment, you should clean that, too. Simply detach the hose and flush it with water. You can do this outside with a garden hose, or carefully in the kitchen sink or shower. Flush the hose several times, or until the water runs clear once it filters out of the hose attachment. You should also clean out any debris that has lodged itself in the bristles of the hose.
Unplug the machine. Wipe down the outside. Flush the hose attachment.
