Summary:A method of cleaning a surface with steam, which method comprises the steps of: (1) supplying steam from a steam source to a cleaning head comprising a steam delivery means and a member mounted thereon; (2) passing steam from the steam delivery means to the member, the member defining a path to convey steam to an outlet in the member such that pressure of steam on the member causes substantially no force tending to displace the member relative to the steam delivery means; (3) rotating said member; and (4) passing steam through the outlet in the member for cleaning a surface in the proximity of the outlet. L'invention concerne un procédé de nettoyage à la vapeur d'une surface. Ce procédé consiste: 1) à envoyer de la vapeur d'une source de vapeur à une tête de nettoyage comprenant des moyens de libération de vapeur et un élément monté sur celle-ci ; 2) à passer de la vapeur de moyens de libération de vapeur à l'élément, cet élément définissant un chemin de transport de la vapeur vers une sortie située dans l'élément, de sorte que la pression de la vapeur sur l'élément permet qu'une force sensiblement inexistante tende à déplacer l'élément par rapport aux moyens de libération de vapeur ; 3) à tourner ledit élément et 4) à passer la vapeur à travers la sortie de l'élément pour nettoyer une surface à proximité de la sortie.
