Abstract
A steam cleaner includes a water pump to supply water from a water tank to a heater, and the heater heats it up to become steam to be shot out of a base so as to be used for washing a floor. The steam cleaner also has a water volume button for controlling operating frequency of the water pump to change steam volume to be shot out, by handling of a switch button fixed on a handle to control start and close of washing and operating condition. The grip of the handle is pivotally connected to the base with no limited stages so that the handle can be inclined to one of numerous angles to suit to the height of a user for conveniently using the steam cleaner. And a support base is provided for the steam cleaner to rest thereon for storing away when not used.
