Steamer spitting water
Have a hard water clog?!
My clothes steamer isn't producing a lot of steam and is starting to spit water. Why would this happen and how can I fix it?

We seem to have some unwelcome Mickeys and Minnies in our house. What is the best way to get rid of them?
I want to remove my popcorn ceiling, but it has asbestos in it. How do I go about this safely?
How do I fill gaps at baseboard, should I caulk? If so, does anyone know how to caulk baseboards?
How do I fix squeaky hardwood floors?
How do you get your crock pot from spitting water. I found a big puddle on my countertop this morning. Any ways to prevent this from happening? Thanks!!
When I turn on the hot water tap on my faucet, cold water leaks but not vice versa. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix the leaky faucet?
It could e because you are in a hard water area. Descale
It sounds like you have water in the hose. Hold the nozzle high to let the water drain back into the steamer.
Sounds like it has a clog or a blockage, see if you can clear it out with vinegar.
The steam opening may be slightly clogged with hard water. You can use white vinegar to clean it.
It probably got clogged in the water line. Try running white vinegar thru the line. It may take serveal times. My coffee pot does the same thing. If you live where there is hard water, the tubes need to be cleaned out every other month or so.
It is probably clogged. You can clean with white cleaning vinegar to remove any deposits. Then run water through it a few times to clean out the vinegar.
Hi Bracha, hope this helps you out, chances are you have hard water build up in your steamer. Here's how to clean it.
Yep I agree with the majority of the answers, it seems like it needs to be descaled to me. I would fill with white vinegar and steam away until it cleans it out completely. First though make sure it is safe to use vinegar in your product.
Hi Bracha! The steamer leaks because water has filled the hose and the pressure forces water out from the connection between the water container and the base. To solve this problem, you need to hold the nozzle high to let the water in the hose drain back into the steamer. This unclogs the hose so that steam can flow properly.
Wow, thanks for all the answers everyone, I really appreciate it!
Here is a answer that is a little different but worth checking out. When too much water is added to the water tank, the boiling water will start to “spit” out of the steam nozzle. To prevent this from happening, please be sure to only fill the water tank to the “MAX” line.
Hi Bracha, it sounds like you may have hard water deposits in your steamer, nope this helps you out.
Fill the water tank with distilled white vinegar or cleaning vinegar. Allow the vinegar to sit in the tank for at least 30 minutes (up to two hours is best) to help break apart the limescale and mineral deposits.
Expel the Vinegar: Turn on the steamer and choose the highest heat setting. and expel the vinegar through the steamer then rinse it thoroughly afterwards
Mix half & half vinegar & water & let sit for about 1 hour. Keep your mixture incase it needs more time.
can you use anything else if you don't have vinegar? Because I cleaned mine with DAWN. I let it soak and all the scaling came out. Just having an issue now with spitting, it has done it before as well.
