Just wondering if anyone uses a handheld steamer to detail vintage vacuums or is this something one should not due. Can it harm or crack any of the parts? I usually use lots of qtips, lysol mostly undeluded, micro fiber cloths, magic eraser, and windex.
Any help or opinions would be very much appreciated. Thank You in advance for your help. PR-21 Bud Mattingly | ||

I used a steam cleaner and yes it broke a plastic housing off one of my Hoover Junior models. It's better if you can find the spray cans of pressurized air as you can use different straw sized attachment rods for minimising the blast. Also ask your local dental hospital or dentist to where you can source dental tooth pick/scrapers from - they are brilliant for literally picking out dust out of difficult areas as the ones Colgate sell are good for your teeth but don't have strong necks and are liable to break.
