4.2 Cleaning Hard Floors

Once the mop is ready, gently move it across the hard floor surface. The flexible, triangular head allows access to corners and edges.
The steam will be released as you move the mop, effectively cleaning and sanitizing the floor.
For stubborn spots, hold the mop over the area for a few seconds to allow the steam to penetrate.

For cleaning carpets and rugs, attach the carpet glider accessory to the mop head over the microfiber pad.
Gently glide the mop over the carpet or rug surface. The steam will help to refresh and deodorize the fibers.
