2. Wash the textile pad with mild liquid detergent only to remove lint.
3. The textile pad should be washed after every use (Max Temperature 104 Degrees F / 40 Degrees C).
4. DO NOT use bleach or fabric softener, as it could damage the microfiber material.
5. AIR DRY ONLY to prolong the life of the textile pad (Recommended).

5.2 Descaling

Regular descaling is recommended to maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your steam mop, especially if using tap water (though distilled water is recommended).

1. Mix 1/3 white vinegar with 2/3 water in the water tank.
