Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Mop Pads and Attachments

• Remove mop pads and machine wash them in warm water with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low.
• Rinse plastic attachments under running water. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.

Draining and Storing the Water Tank

• After each use, ensure the unit is unplugged and completely cool.
• Empty any remaining water from the tank to prevent mineral buildup.
• Store the unit in a dry, protected area. The included wall mount can be used for convenient storage.

Descaling (Mineral Buildup Removal)

Over time, mineral deposits can build up in the steam cleaner, especially if tap water is used. This can affect performance.

• To descale, fill the water tank with a solution of 50% white vinegar and 50% distilled water.
• Run the unit in a well-ventilated area until the tank is empty.
• Repeat with clean distilled water to rinse out any vinegar residue.
• Perform descaling every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you notice reduced steam output.
