1. Unplug and Cool:
Before starting the cleaning process, ensure the facial steamer is unplugged and has completely cooled down.
2. Clean Water Tank:
Thoroughly rinse the water tank with warm water to remove any remaining water droplets. You can also use a mild dishwashing liquid if needed. Rinse the tank multiple times until all soap residue is gone.
3. Clean Surface:
Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towels to wipe the exterior surface of the device, including the steam outlet, to remove dust or dirt.
4. Descale:
Depending on the water quality in your area and how often you use your facial steamer, it may require descaling. Fill the tank with a 50-50 mixture of white vinegar and water. Let it sit for 30 minutes to dissolve mineral buildup. Drain the mixture and rinse the tank several times with clean water.
5. Dry Thoroughly:
Make sure all components of the facial steamer, especially the water tank, are dry before storing or reusing. Leave it to air dry or use a clean cloth to wipe it down.
6. Cleaning Frequency:
Clean the facial steamer regularly, ideally after every few uses. If you have hard water in your area, it's recommended to descale more frequently to prevent mineral buildup.
Remember to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific model for any specific cleaning recommendations.
