5. Maintenance
- Cleaning Dirt Grip Pads: The Dirt Grip pads are machine washable. After each use, remove the pad and wash it with your regular laundry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the microfiber. Air dry or tumble dry on low.
- Emptying Water Tank: After each use, or when storing the mop, remove the water tank and empty any remaining water. This prevents stagnant water and potential mineral buildup.
- Storing the Mop: Store the steam mop in an upright position in a dry, cool place. Ensure the power cord is neatly wrapped. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry and store.
