Microfibre Mop Pads
Reusable microfibre mop pads are machine

surfaces. The white microfibre pad is best for
everyday use on delicate flooring like sealed
hardwoods and laminate. The gray and white
striped pad can be used for scrubbing heavily
soiled floors and cleaning tougher messes.
WARNING
Be sure to turn off vacuum mode if you
encounter liquid on the floor

hard floor cleaner on the
steam setting without water
in the tank. You may hear a
knocking sound indicating
there is no water.
Tip
WARNING
Appliance will not pick up crayons, marbles
and other large objects.
WARNING
Exercise extreme care when using the Vac
& Steam on hardwood floors. Prolonged
application of steam in one area increases
the risk of damage to the surface treatment
on timber floors. Test steam mop in an
inconspicuous area before mopping a
large area. The steam mop generates hot
steam, so move the unit continuously when
depressing the trigger. The trigger does not
need to be depressed at all times.
Regular foot traffic and direct sunlight will
wear down timber floor surface treatment,
making it more susceptible to steam
damage. Check with your timber floor
treatment and application specialist prior
to steam mop operation.
