Polti Vaporetto Review

The Polti Vaporetto Steam Cleaner is a lightweight 15-in-1 cleaning appliance. It can be used as either an upright steam mop, or as a hand-held tool. It provides a thorough deep clean, and is capable of killing up to 99.9% of bacteria. It cleans using pressurised steam only. No harsh cleaning chemicals are required. It's suitable for a wide range of tasks, as listed above.

The Polti Vaporetto comes with an accessory kit. It includes a grouting tool, a frame accessory, a microfibre cloth, a sponge socket, a brush with a squeegee, small nylon brushes, and more.
