Operating Instructions
- Prepare Area: Before mopping, sweep or vacuum the floor to remove loose dirt and debris.

Maintenance
- Cleaning the Microfiber Pad: After each use, detach the microfiber pad from the mop head. The pad is machine washable. Wash with similar colors and air dry or tumble dry on low. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the pad's effectiveness.
- Refilling the Cartridge: When the cleaning solution runs low, remove the 15 oz cartridge, unscrew the cap, and refill with your chosen cleaning solution. Securely close the cap before reinserting.
- Storing the Mop: Store the mop in a dry place. Ensure the cartridge is empty or contains only water if storing for extended periods to prevent residue buildup.
