The Shark SteamSpot is designed for efficient and effective cleaning of sealed hard floors, transforming the way you tackle everyday spills and deep-set grime.
Before use, ensure your floor is swept or vacuumed to remove loose debris. Fill the removable water tank with distilled or demineralized water to prevent mineral buildup. Attach a clean Dirt Grip pad securely to the mop head.
Low Mode: Ideal for quick spills, daily dust, or refreshing lightly soiled floors. Use this setting for maintaining a clean appearance without oversaturating delicate sealed hardwood.
Medium Mode: Your go-to setting for general everyday cleaning. It provides ample steam to loosen typical household dirt and grime, perfect for kitchen floors after meals or hallways with moderate foot traffic.
High Mode: Reserve this mode for tackling heavily soiled areas, sticky spills, or high-traffic zones. The increased steam output penetrates deeply into grime, preparing it for removal by the Dirt Grip pad.
For particularly stubborn stains, such as dried-on food spills or sticky residue, position the SteamSpot directly over the mess. Activate the SteamBlaster Technology to deliver a concentrated burst of steam. This focused heat and moisture will quickly break down the stain, making it easy to wipe away with the Dirt Grip pad.
The slim and lightweight design of the Shark SteamSpot allows for effortless maneuverability. Glide it around furniture legs, under tables, and into tight corners. Its low-profile head can reach areas that traditional mops might miss, ensuring a comprehensive clean.
Pre-Sweep/Vacuum: Always remove loose dirt before steaming for optimal cleaning performance and to prevent streaking.
Even Strokes: Use a steady, even motion when steaming to ensure uniform cleaning and drying.
Change Pads Regularly: For best results and to avoid redepositing dirt, change or wash your Dirt Grip pads frequently, especially when cleaning large or very dirty areas.
Don't Over-Saturate: While effective, avoid leaving the SteamSpot stationary on one spot for too long, particularly on hardwood floors, to prevent excess moisture buildup.
Assemble the Handle: Connect the handle sections according to the instructions in your manual until they click securely into place.
Attach the Dirt Grip Pad: Align the Dirt Grip pad with the mop head and press firmly to attach it. The pad is designed to securely grip the mop head.
Fill the Water Tank: Locate the removable water tank. Open the fill cap and fill the tank with distilled or demineralized water. This prevents mineral buildup and extends the life of your steam cleaner.
Insert Water Tank: Slide the filled water tank back into its designated slot until it clicks into place.
Power On: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The unit will begin to heat up, typically within 30 seconds.
The Shark SteamSpot is specifically designed and safe for use on all sealed hard floors, including:
Sealed Hardwood
Laminate
Vinyl
Tile (ceramic, porcelain)
Stone (sealed)
Marble (sealed)
Do NOT use on unsealed wood floors, unglazed ceramic tiles, or any floor that is not recommended for wet cleaning. If unsure about your floor type, consult your flooring manufacturer's instructions or test a small, inconspicuous area first.
Cleaning Dirt Grip Pads: The Dirt Grip Soft Scrub cleaning pads are machine washable. After use, remove the pad and wash it with your regular laundry detergent (avoid bleach or fabric softener as they can reduce the pad's absorbency). Air dry or tumble dry on low.
Draining Water Tank: After each use, empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent stagnant water buildup.
Descaling (if needed): Over time, mineral deposits from hard water can affect performance. If you notice reduced steam, consult your user manual for descaling instructions, which typically involve a vinegar solution. (Info needed: Specific descaling frequency/method not detailed in product info, refer to manual).
Storing Your SteamSpot: Store the unit upright in a dry place. Wrap the power cord neatly to prevent tangles.
General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the SteamSpot with a damp cloth as needed.
