If your steam boiler is dirty, it will not heat properly and may even break down. Follow these simple steps to clean your boiler:

  1. Fill a bucket with water and add a few cups of white vinegar.
  2. Turn the boiler on to medium heat and wait until the water begins to boil.
  3. Pour the boiling water into the bucket, and let it cool for a few minutes.
  4. Use a scrub brush to clean all of the surfaces of the boiler, including the top and sides. Be sure to get into all of the nooks and crannies!
  5. Pour a little bit of oil onto a cloth or paper towel, and use it to wipe down all of the surfaces that you cleaned in step 4. Make sure to get into any cracks or crevices!
  6. Turn off the boiler, and let it cool for at least an hour before using it again ..
