A steam generator having a block of heat conductive material in one face of which is formed a water chamber for the reception of water to be turned into steam by heat from an electric heater located in the block. The one face has also formed in it, first and second elongate passages each leading from the water chamber to an intermediate transfer area. From each intermediate transfer area extends a transfer path that connects the area to a different one of the steam exits. The steam generator may be used in a hand-held wallpaper steamer used for stripping wallpaper or in a hand-held steamer for removing creases from fabrics.
