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!

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?
