Can anyone think of a use of a steam cleaner in plumbing?

[WaterTight]

Perhaps before resealing a bath or shower? Making a new bathroom install sparkle before completion?

Basically I think they are neat and want an excuse to buy one beyond mere gadget lust.

Not a steam cleaner, but I know of someone who convinced themselves of buying a drone to look at roofs - for problems at ground level.

Used it once, crashed it into a chimney while looking at the flashing, and had to get up on the roof and retrieve because it was knackered.

Expensive investment for not even one job

Brilliant !
When they invent one that can do gutter caulkings or flash chimneys I might consider it myself.

Steam cleaners though ............. Van engine ?

Other than cleaning kitchen appliances before you can bring yourself to touch them, no.

Cleaning large cisterns, brings them up a treat!

 

[Leo21]

Nope.

Well nuts to you all, I bought one anyway.

Aldi special? Or misguided purchase with buyers remorse?

Screwfix special offer. Just gave it a whirl. It's basically about 20% easier than using a mop or a brush but it sounds cool and comes with attachments so I'm 100% pleased.

I'm so said the first thing I check online in a morning is Screwfix deal of the day, as soon as I saw the thread title I though I bet that's it.

So its useful?

Useful in providing momentary distraction from my ever throbbing existensial dread

I wonder if it will clean my van drivers seat, its so heavily soiled the black dirt is shiny.

I'm probably going to regret this but are you having doubts about your existence on this sublunary abode?

No. No he doesn't. What he does have is an unnatural drinking habit that allows him to see purple squiggly things crawling out of the walls......

In that case if /when you return to Guildford can you please forget to tell him or make sure he sits in a corner on his own!

I'm sure I heard it's good for lose in tiles adhesive when re-tilling. Also good for cleaning van seats and carpets when you spill sludge when carrying a big rad. I used mine loads at first but as most things, novelty wears off.
