Can You Safely Add Detergent to Your Steam Cleaner for a Deeper Clean?
It is not recommended to add detergent or cleaning solutions to a steam cleaner as the heat and pressure from the steam alone is sufficient to loosen and remove dirt and grime. Additionally, using detergent may cause damage to the machine or leave a residue on surfaces. Some steam cleaners may have a separate reservoir for adding a small amount of cleaning solution, but it is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
