Troubleshooting
Mop is not producing steam.
Ensure the water flask is filled with water. Check that the unit is properly plugged into a live electrical outlet. Confirm the manual pump action is being used consistently to activate steam. Allow adequate time for the unit to heat up after plugging in.
Poor cleaning performance or streaks left on the floor.
Ensure the Dirt Grip pad is clean and not overly saturated. Replace or wash the pad if it's dirty. Make sure the floor is swept or vacuumed prior to steam cleaning to remove loose debris. For streaks, try reducing the amount of steam by pumping less frequently or moving the mop more quickly.
