Abstract
A steam cleaner has a housing, a steam generator, a pump, a reservoir, a cap and a filter. The steam generator is mounted in the housing. The pump is mounted in the housing and communicates with the steam generator. The reservoir is detachably attached to a base on the housing. The cap is detachably attached to the reservoir and communicates with the steam generator. The filter is detachably attached to the cap and extends into the reservoir. Accordingly, the water in the reservoir is filtered by the filter before the water is transported to the steam generator. The structure of the housing and the mold to form the housing are simplified. The cost for manufacturing the steam cleaner is reduced. Furthermore, to install and to change the filter is easier.
