1. Setup Instructions
Carefully unpack all components and ensure all parts are present before beginning assembly. The Leifheit Classic Mop and Bucket Set includes a mop handle, a viscose mop head, a bucket, and a wringer attachment.
1.1 Mop Handle Assembly
The mop handle consists of three sections. To assemble, align the sections and firmly push them together until they are securely connected. Ensure each connection is straight and tight to prevent wobbling during use.

1.2 Attaching the Mop Head
The viscose mop head is designed for easy attachment. Align the mop head with the base of the handle and twist or click into place until it is firmly secured.
1.3 Wringer Attachment to Bucket
Place the wringer attachment onto the rim of the bucket. Ensure it sits securely and is stable before use. The wringer is designed to allow for hands-free wringing of the mop.

2. Operating Instructions
2.1 Filling the Bucket
Fill the 12-liter bucket with water and your preferred cleaning solution. Do not overfill, leaving enough space for the mop head without spillage.
2.2 Mopping Procedure
Dip the mop head into the water and cleaning solution. Use the wringer to remove excess liquid before applying the mop to the floor. Mop in sections, overlapping slightly to ensure thorough cleaning. The flexible viscose strips are effective for cleaning large areas, corners, stairs, and around furniture.

2.3 Wringing the Mop
After dipping the mop, place the mop head into the wringer attachment. Apply downward pressure to the mop handle to compress the mop head and expel excess water. Repeat as necessary to achieve the desired dampness for your floor type. This hands-free wringing mechanism prevents contact with dirty water.

3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning the Mop Head
The removable viscose mop head can be machine washed at temperatures up to 140°F (60°C). Remove the mop head from the handle before washing. Do not use fabric softener, as it can reduce the mop head's absorbency. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching or storing.

3.2 Cleaning the Bucket and Wringer
After each use, empty the bucket and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. The wringer attachment can also be rinsed under running water. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and a soft brush. Ensure all components are dry before storage to prevent mildew or odors.
3.3 Storage
Store the mop and bucket set in a clean, dry place. The mop handle can be hung or stored upright. Ensure the mop head is dry before storage to maintain hygiene and prolong its lifespan.
4. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mop handle feels loose or wobbly. | Sections not fully engaged during assembly. | Disassemble and firmly push handle sections together until they are securely connected and straight. |
| Mop head not wringing effectively. | Insufficient downward pressure applied; wringer not properly seated. | Ensure the wringer is correctly attached to the bucket. Apply firm, consistent downward pressure on the mop handle within the wringer. |
| Mop head not absorbing water/dirt well. | Mop head is dirty or has residue from fabric softener. | Wash the mop head at 140°F (60°C) without fabric softener. Replace the mop head if it is worn out. |
