3. Operating Instructions
The JOYBOS Mop and Bucket Set is designed for hands-free cleaning, separating clean and dirty water for optimal hygiene.
3.1 Filling the Bucket
Fill the 'Wash' chamber of the bucket with water. You may add a small amount of floor cleaning solution if desired. Ensure the water level is below the 'MAX' line indicated on the bucket.

3.2 Wetting and Washing the Mop Pad
To wet and clean the mop pad:
- Insert the mop head into the 'Wash' chamber of the bucket.

3.3 Wringing and Drying the Mop Pad
To wring out excess water from the mop pad:
- Transfer the mop head to the 'Dry' chamber of the bucket.
- Move the mop handle up and down several times. The wringer mechanism will squeeze out water, leaving the pad damp for cleaning.
- Adjust dryness: 1-2 times for 'DRY+', 2-4 times for 'DRY++', and 6+ times for 'DRY+++' (drier).

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your JOYBOS Mop and Bucket Set.
4.1 Cleaning Microfiber Pads
The microfiber pads are reusable and machine washable. After each cleaning session, remove the pad from the mop head and wash it with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the pad's absorbency. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
4.2 Cleaning the Bucket
After each use, empty the dirty water from the bucket. Rinse both chambers thoroughly with clean water. The bucket is made of durable polypropylene plastic, which is easy to clean. For stubborn residue, a mild detergent can be used. Ensure the bucket is dry before storage to prevent mildew.
4.3 Storage
Store the mop and bucket set in a cool, dry place. The compact design allows for easy storage in corners or utility closets.
