Cleaning with a steam cleaner?

The other day I was watching a baseball game. When the game ended, an infomercial for a Bissell vacuum came on, and I left the room but did not turn off the tv. 30 minutes later, I come upstairs, and, wouldn't-ya-know-it, my wife tells me she bought a new vacuum!

So, in addition to the full size vacuum, we also received a hand-held steam cleaner. I'm thinking it might be great for cleaning bikes (as long as I don't aim it directly into the BB, hub axles, or headset cups. Anyone used something similar on their bikes or small parts? I do already own an ultrasonic cleaner, but I'm thinking this may come in handy for post-ride spray-downs. What do you think?

(I know, not really C&V related, but this is where I usually hang, and preservation of vintage parts is at stake.)
