can you add a liquid cleaning agent to the water if you prefer

I don't believe this is recommended. The whole point of steam cleaning is to clean naturally, without additional chemicals. That's why I bought the machine, so I wouldn't have to use extra chemicals.

I was advised by a friend that introduced me to this steam cleaner to ONLY use water. They have owned this model for many years. Based on the following directions from the users guide, I believe anything other than water would cause damage or problems to the unit.To ensure that your machine operates correctly over along period, rinse out the water tank once a month to remove lime-scale deposits. A vinegar solution or a proprietory de-scaler solution can be used to clean inside the water tank.

I don't use a liquid cleaner. A soft cloth used for cleaning eye glasses seems to work pretty well.

No, only water...you can't clean mechanism and it may grow bacteria, etc. Sorry, that's what the directions say....

I never tried .... I use plain tap water and add a small amount of vinegar and a few drops of essential oil (peppermint, or eucalyptus or tea tree). I have linoleum floors. My two labs constantly have dirty or muddy feet so use it all the time. I keep the reservior full of the mix and use as needed. Sometimes it uses it all up and sometimes just a spot job works so I left the solution in it. I do clean dirty water after each use. I am not sure if you could leave bleach water in it but if you dilute it still would give extra cleaning but would empty after each use. If you do try leave a reply back so I know how it works.

Yes, provided there is some liquid content either added (as water) or part of the process (as urine).

No, in its user's manual says that you can not mix the water with any other substance, such as aromatic oil or lotion.

Yes you can. You can either use it full strenth for spot cleaning- apply in a circular motion and wipe dry with a damp, terry cloth or dilute 2/3 cup in 1 gal. of hot water, apply with a mop and then rinse or wipe.

Yes. The cleaning solution goes in a flexible bladder inside the container that catches the dirty water. You have separate containers in the same space, and you dump the dirty water when you run out of solution. PS: I still love mine!

Yes, I put in a spray bottle diluted with water. I also add to a mop bucket. I love it!

Technically it can. Ideally you should use distilled water. However,I think the change would be minimal.

Yes you can add chemicals. The saltwater system converts the salt to chlorine so you would need some sort of chlorine tablets plus algaecide since your system is broke.

Yes, just start out using less drops than is suggested. Add it to the water & shake well. :-) Happy Health!

yes. just rinse with water or use the little cleaning brush that comes with it.

Yes you can. It will just filter the water more thoroughly essentially making better tasting water.

You can or you can not. My husband and I let it soak in the existing tank water for a bit before putting it in. This allows some of the good bacteria from the water to mix into the filter before hand.

You can try mixing in an oil first like Olive oil or coconut oil and then add your water and shake good. I use Vinegar, Castile soap and a splash of tea-tree oil as a cleaner in a spray bottle so I don't see why it would not work.

Yes you can, but it works better on wet. I use water and special lemon soap.
