Hi guys, we forgot to clean this Steamer for almost 8 months …when I used it the iron steamer didn’t work very well it’s clogged… luckily my husband was there and helped me to clean it😅 He said I have to clean the water tank at least every 2 weeks😊 To be honest I could save a lot of time ironing the clothes when I use this Philips perfect care 😊❤
