Steam Cleaners

Has anyone gotten great results (if any) from nozzle steam cleaners - especially to clean greasy areas/door sills etc. ? ? ?

The problem with using a steam cleaner on grease is while the heat/hot water does re-activate the grease and makes it flow it doesn't lift the grease into suspension. You literally just move the grease from one area to another.

Use hot, soapy water or a degreaser to lift/ break-up the grease and then use the steam to rinse the area.
