Customer Reviews:

Very versatile
I am only going to give it four stars, since the TV promo programs makes cleaning look too easy.

With shower soap scum, if it is heavy, use the scrubber end, and then follow up with the cleaning pockets. The steam dissolves the soap scum, and you wash it down. Then, use the cleaning pocket wands to remove soap film. It works well, but is a two step process if you have much soap scum.

The scrubber brush works well on tile grout, and the cleaning pocket does remove grease splatters from the range back tile. And using the cleaning pockets over the kitchen cabinet doors really removes grime easily.

I used the cleaning pockets to remove some stains from a carpet area, and it was quick and easy.

However, plan your jobs in advance. If you turn it off, and intend to resume much later, the cleaning pocket will get damp and that doesn’t work well. As long as you are pushing steam through the cleaning pockets, it remains quite “dry”.

I was able to get some things clean that I never thought I could get clean, and that is due to using steam to loosen the grime.

So it has exceeded my expectations. So now all it has to do is be durable.

Impressed me
Bought this while on a business trip and realized one of my suits had acquired a stain. Bought it at Target, used it the next hour, and I was very impressed with how clean my suit got in just a few minutes of steaming and brushing. Once I returned home, I used this product all around the home, steam cleaning my fridge, oven counter top, etc. Impressed all around.

Ergonomically, the other review is correct; it lacks. But functionally, it was easily worth the 80 dollars I paid for it. Never heard of this brand until this product but I shall keep my eyes open for more of their products after this one.

Poorly designed for carrying
Just to start I own several Shark products, the newest beside this is the floor steamer, which I LOVE!! However, Shark dropped the ball on this one in terms of design! Had engineering ever actually used this instead of just looking at plans they would have experienced the problem. The “teapot” design requires you to hold it as such therefore your hand depresses, constantly, the button that is located on the underside of the handle. If they had just placed the steam button on the top side of the handle, it would be easy to slide your thumb over it to depress it or not. So when you are moving around to different items to clean in just carrying it you are squirting steam. NOT IDEAL!! So I have to say this is being returned and I will go back to using an older portable steamer without the cloths, I will just carry then in my other hand instead of having the neat attachments.Shark Premium Portable Steam Pocket Includes 5 Cleaning Pockets + 2 Quick Release Wands

If you collect antique furniture you know that a well maintained antique piece can add beauty and charm to any home and decor.  They can be a part of an antique themed decoration or mixed with modern furniture for distinctive look.  But if your antiques are dirty or have stains they will take away from the look you have tried so hard to create rather than enhance it.  You may be afraid to clean your antique furniture for fear of ruining its value but you can get them looking good again and not reduce its value.

Here are 8 steps to clean antique furniture:

1. Keep a supply of soft dry cloths to clean your antiques with.  Old cotton T-shirts are perfect for this.  It may take several to clean and polish your piece. If the piece is not terribly dirty but dull from light soil and oils from your skin, liberal amounts of New Life Wood Moisturizer will bring back the natural beauty.  To really get the grime from a treasure in the rough use what the dealers use, which is New Life Furniture Masque.
2. To clean and dust crevices and ornate carvings you will need a soft bristle brush to get in those tight places.
3. To get the odor out of  dresser drawers or amoires put trays or boxes of baking soda inside.  It will absorb many of the odors!  Another good odor eater is your favorite kitty litter.
4. New Life Wood Moisturizer will remove the gummy residue from tape or chewing gum.  The orange oil in it will break those residues down without damaging the finish.
5. If the furniture has brass ornamentation or handles the New Life Brass and Copper Cleaner & Polish is a great solution or you can try a homemade paste from flour, salt and vinegar to try and clean them.  In either case, use a soft cloth to clean and another to shine.
6. To polish the wood and protect it from future damage use New Life Moisturizer with its specially formulated beeswax and orange oil.  The oil will penetrate the natural patina of the wood to bring back its natural beauty and the beeswax will protect it from the elements.  If you want an even higher gloss shine use New Life Cream Polish as the final step.
7. If your piece has leather you can clean it like described here.  If you have saddle soap you can also clean leather with it and water then be sure to dry with a soft cloth.
8. You can vacuum dust from antique furniture just be sure to not scratch it.  Do this if there is a heavy coat of dust on it rather than rubbing it off to prevent scratching the finish.

Follow these steps and you will have clean antique furniture that will give you years of enjoyment and beauty in your home or office.
