Paula,
Firstly, the text colour you have chosen may match your eyes, but can be glaring to the reader.
Assuming you refer to the small steam pistol, the normal range of attatchments are:
Jet - Used for blasting grease from awkard corners in kitchens etc. can also be used with care for the removal of candle wax and chewing gum from carpets and hard surfaces.
Brush - Fits onto the jet nozzle to provide agitation, usefull for stuborn grease deposits and mould removal from grouting.
Scraper - may fit onto jet nozzle or have its' own jet. Provides a scraping action of chewing gum removal and to loosen stuborn deposits on flat surfaces.
Open nose - provides a non-jetted supply of steam. used for window cleaning, curtain steaming etc.
Squeegee - self explanatory.
Cautionary note
When used on any soft furnishing these devices can cause major damage. If you are unsure of the thermal tollerance of a fibre, it is safer not to use this device. Care should be taken to prevent injury to the user and anyone else - steam is very hot stuff.
John.
