Apparatus and method for cleaning

A method comprising:

• providing a cleaning apparatus having an applicator portion with a fluid delivery outlet through which heated cleaning fluid may be dispensed;
• establishing a flow of cleaning fluid from a fluid source to the fluid delivery outlet through a boiler;
• generating heated gases via a heater portion;
• and
• establishing a flow of the heated gases through a heater conduit of the boiler to heat cleaning fluid in the boiler,
• wherein the flow of cleaning fluid passes through a reservoir provided between a pair of hollow tubes of the boiler, wherein an inner tube of the pair passes through an outer tube of the pair, the inner tube defining at least a portion of the heater conduit.

Cleaning apparatus, comprising:

• an applicator portion having a fluid delivery outlet through which heated cleaning fluid may be dispensed;
• a boiler through which a flow of cleaning fluid may be established from a fluid source to the fluid delivery outlet of the applicator portion;
• a heater portion configured to heat the boiler and thereby heat the cleaning fluid;
• a heater conduit in thermal communication with the boiler through which a flow of heated gases generated by the heater portion may be established to heat cleaning fluid in the boiler;
• and
• a blower configured to blow ambient air through the heater conduit.
