I've been using wifey's Shark "portable steam pocket system" on the boat occasionally. A lot, this last week, while I deal with diesel...

Most of the attachments aren't great for getting into tiny spaces, but the basic steamer works reasonably well... and the attachment extension can be used without an attachment to get steam into smaller areas. Sometimes that means wiping afterwards with a rag on the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver

And then it wasn't expensive... given wifey already had it at home...
