Maintenance and Care

1. Cleaning Microfiber Pads

The Easy Glide microfiber pads are washable and reusable. They can withstand up to 100 washes. Machine wash them with similar colors at a low temperature. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as this can reduce their cleaning effectiveness.

After each use, unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely. Empty any remaining water from the tank. Store the steam mop in a dry, safe place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

3. Descaling (Recommended)

To maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your steam mop, descaling is recommended every few months, depending on water hardness. Consult the full manual for detailed descaling instructions.
