Maintenance
1. Cleaning Microfiber Pads
The microfiber mop pads are machine washable. Wash them with similar colors and air dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can reduce their cleaning effectiveness.
2. Emptying the Water Tank
After each use, ensure the unit is unplugged and cooled down. Remove the water tank and empty any remaining water. This prevents stagnant water and potential mineral buildup.
3. Descaling (as needed)
Over time, mineral deposits can build up inside the unit, especially if tap water is used. If you notice reduced steam output, descaling may be necessary. Consult the manufacturer's website or customer support for specific descaling instructions for your model.
4. Storage
Store the steam mop in a cool, dry place. Ensure the power cord is neatly wrapped around the cord hooks on the unit to prevent damage.
