FAQs
Can I use cleaning solutions or chemicals in the water tank?
No, only use clean tap water in the water tank. Using cleaning solutions or chemicals can damage the appliance and void the warranty. The steam itself is the cleaning agent.
How often should I wash the Dirt Grip pads?
The Dirt Grip pads should be washed after each use to maintain their cleaning effectiveness. They are machine washable.
What type of floors can I use this mop on?
This mop is suitable for all sealed hard floors, including tile, marble, linoleum, granite, and sealed hardwood or laminate.
Can this mop be used on laminate flooring?
Yes, it can be used on *sealed* laminate flooring. It is crucial that the laminate is properly sealed to prevent moisture damage from the steam.
What is the benefit of the Steam Blaster Technology?
Steam Blaster Technology provides an extra burst of concentrated steam to target and loosen tough, stuck-on stains and grime more effectively than standard steam alone.
How long is the power cord?
The power cord is 5.18 meters long (or 8 meters for the Amazon Exclusive version). This provides a good reach for cleaning most rooms.
Does this mop sanitize floors?
Yes, the steam generated by the mop cleans and sanitizes up to 99.9% of household germs and bacteria using water alone.

Troubleshooting
Mop not producing steam.
Ensure the water tank is filled and properly seated. Check that the unit is plugged in and has been allowed to heat up for the specified time. Verify that the selected steam setting is appropriate.
Poor cleaning performance.
Check that a clean Dirt Grip pad is attached. Ensure the correct steam setting is selected for the level of dirt. If using Steam Blaster, ensure it's activated for stubborn spots. Clean the mop head and ensure there are no blockages.
Water leaking from the unit.
Ensure the water tank is not overfilled and is correctly inserted. Check that the unit is upright and not damaged. Leaks may occur if the unit is tilted excessively.
Mop feels heavy or difficult to push.
Ensure the correct steam setting is selected; higher settings may require more effort. Check that the Dirt Grip pad is clean and not saturated with debris. Make sure you are gliding the mop rather than pressing down forcefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Before first use, ensure the mop is assembled according to the instruction manual. Fill the removable water tank with clean tap water only (do not use cleaning solutions). Attach a clean Dirt Grip pad to the mop head. Plug in the unit and select the appropriate steam setting.
Compatibility: This steam mop is designed for use on all sealed hard floors, including tile, marble, linoleum, granite, and sealed hardwood or laminate.

Care: After each use, remove the Dirt Grip pad and wash it in a washing machine with detergent. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach, as this can damage the pads. Wipe down the exterior of the mop with a damp cloth. Ensure the water tank is emptied and the unit is dry before storing. Descale the appliance periodically as per the manufacturer's instructions, especially if you have hard water.
