Maintenance

1. Emptying the Dirt Tank

After each use, remove the dry dirt tank and empty its contents into a waste bin. This prevents buildup and maintains suction performance.

2. Cleaning Mop Pads

The reusable mop pads can be removed and machine-washed after each use. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.

3. Cleaning the Filter

The SpinWave + Vac filter is washable. Remove the filter, rinse it under running water, and allow it to air dry completely before reinstalling. Regular filter cleaning ensures optimal vacuum performance.
