Setup and Installation
The Vileda Steam Mop Refill Pads are designed for easy attachment to your Vileda Steam Mop.
- Ensure Mop is Off and Cool: Before attaching or detaching pads, ensure your Vileda Steam Mop is unplugged and has cooled down to prevent burns.
- Align Pad: Place the microfibre refill pad on the floor with the white, textured side facing up.
- Attach to Mop Head: Position the steam mop head directly over the pad. The pad features a velcro fastening system. Gently press the mop head onto the pad, ensuring the velcro strips on the mop head securely grip the pad.
- Verify Attachment: Lift the mop to confirm the pad is firmly attached and will not slip during use.

Operating Instructions
Once the refill pad is securely attached, your Vileda Steam Mop is ready for use. These pads are designed to work effectively with the steam generated by the mop.
- Steam Cleaning: The microfibre material efficiently captures dirt and grime as the steam loosens it from the floor surface.
- Corner Cleaning: The triangular shape of the mop head and pad allows for effective cleaning in corners and along edges.

Cleaning the Pads
The microfibre pads are machine washable, allowing for easy cleaning after each use.
- Machine Wash: Wash the pads in a washing machine at temperatures up to 60°C (140°F).
