Step 1: Prep Your Steamer and Work Area
First off, make sure your steamer is in good working condition. If it needs a quick descale, now is the time to do it. Also, prep the surface or area you're planning to clean, be it tiles, glass, or mirrors.

Step 2: Supercharge the Water with White Vinegar
Did you know adding a small amount of white vinegar to your steamer water can do wonders? Just measure about a quarter cup of white vinegar and add it to your steamer's water tank.


This simple hack will dissolve mineral deposits, sanitize surfaces, and even eliminate odors.

It works like magic, especially on tile surfaces and glass.

Step 3: Freshen Up with Lemon Juice
If you're anything like me and love the smell of fresh lemons, then this hack is for you. Add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the steamer water.

Lemon juice not only infuses a fresh scent into your cleaning but also acts as a natural degreaser. It can help remove stubborn stains and grime with ease.

Step 4: Elevate the Aroma with Essential Oils
Looking to make your cleaning experience more enjoyable? Add a few drops of your favorite essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus, tea tree, or citrus to the steamer water. These oils will not only infuse a pleasant aroma into the steam but also come with natural cleaning properties.


Step 5: Pre-treat with Baking Soda
Before you start steaming, lightly sprinkle some baking soda onto the surface you're about to clean. The baking soda will help to loosen dirt and stains, making them much easier to remove when you hit them with the steam.
Step 6: Steam Away
You're all set! Turn on your steamer and start cleaning the surface. You'll notice that the dirt and grime are easier to remove and that the whole area smells wonderful.
The steam, combined with your chosen natural ingredients, will deliver results that are nothing short of amazing. Your surfaces should be sparkling clean, smell incredible, and be free from harsh chemicals.
