The Shark Klik n Flip Deluxe Steam Mop is an essential tool for homeowners seeking a deep, chemical-free clean on all sealed hard floors, including hardwood, marble, tile, and stone. Its key benefit lies in sanitizing 99% of common household bacteria using only steam, combined with innovative double-sided Klik 'n' Flip technology for extended cleaning and hands-free pad removal. A notable caveat is that the sanitization feature applies only to the Klik 'n' Flip Mop Head mode, not the powerful Steam Blaster.

The Shark Klik n Flip Deluxe Steam Mop is designed for straightforward, effective cleaning of sealed hard floors. Here's how to maximize its performance:
Selecting Steam Settings: Utilize the three Intelligent Steam Controls to match your floor type. For delicate surfaces like sealed hardwood, select a lower steam setting (LIGHT). For everyday cleaning on tile or laminate, use the medium setting (NORMAL). For tough, caked-on dirt or high-traffic areas like kitchen floors, choose the high steam setting (DEEP).
Efficient Cleaning with Klik 'n' Flip: The double-sided Klik 'n' Flip floorhead is incredibly efficient. Once one side of the Dirt Grip pad becomes soiled, simply flip the mop head over to use the clean side. This effectively doubles your cleaning surface area, allowing you to cover more ground before needing to change or wash the pad. When finished, a simple press of a lever releases the pad, so you never have to touch the dirt.
Tackling Stubborn Messes with Steam Blaster: For dried spills, sticky residues, or ground-in dirt, activate the Steam Blaster mode. Direct the concentrated blast of steam onto the soiled area. Allow the steam to penetrate and loosen the mess for a few seconds before wiping with the mop head. This feature is particularly effective on grout lines or heavily soiled spots in the kitchen.
Chemical-Free Sanitization: The mop harnesses the natural power of steam to sanitize your floors. This means no harsh chemicals are needed, making it safe for homes with children and pets. When used in the Klik 'n' Flip Mop Head mode, it sanitizes 99% of common household bacteria, providing peace of mind.
Movement and Reach: The long 8m power cord provides excellent maneuverability, allowing you to move freely around large rooms or between adjacent spaces without needing to constantly unplug and replug the mop. This makes cleaning efficient and less disruptive.
Setup:
Assembly: Connect the handle to the main body of the mop until it clicks into place.
Fill Water Tank: Open the water tank cap and fill the tank with distilled or demineralized water for best results and to prevent mineral buildup. Do not overfill. Securely close the cap.
Attach Pad: Lay a Dirt Grip pad on the floor. Place the mop head squarely onto the pad, ensuring it aligns correctly and the velcro or attachment points secure the pad firmly.
Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The indicator light will illuminate, and the mop will begin to heat up.
Compatibility:
The Shark Klik n Flip Deluxe Steam Mop is designed for use on all sealed hard floors. This includes sealed hardwood, marble, tile, laminate, stone, and vinyl floors.
DO NOT use on unsealed wood floors, unglazed ceramic, painted surfaces, or waxed floors, as steam can cause damage, warping, or dulling of the finish.
Always test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility, especially with delicate or newly installed flooring.
Care:
Washing Dirt Grip Pads: After each use, remove the Dirt Grip pads and machine wash them with liquid detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the microfibre and reduce its cleaning effectiveness. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Water Tank Maintenance: Periodically, empty any remaining water from the tank after use. If you use tap water, consider descaling the tank regularly to prevent mineral buildup, which can affect steam performance. Refer to your owner's guide for specific descaling instructions.
Mop Body Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the mop with a damp cloth as needed to keep it clean. Do not immerse the mop in water.
Storage: Store the mop upright in a dry place when not in use.
