Abstract
A portable domestic steam cleaning appliance comprises a generally accurate housing having a forward facing barrel portion and a handle portion. A water reservoir is releasably attached to the handle portion. A tube extends into the water reservoir to supply water via a pump to a flash boiler. Steam exits an outlet in use. Power to an embedded heating element is controlled by a thermostat to prevent excessive heating of the boiler. The components are incorporated in the housing that is readily carried in one hand to enable sweeping of attachments that fit to the outlet over surfaces for cleaning and sterilising those surfaces as required. There is no need to carry around or have closely available a significant quantity of water at high temperature or pressurised steam, to provide an adequate supply of steam, being a significant disadvantage over otherwise similar prior art appliances.
