Floors are cloudy,
streaky, or spotty
after steaming.
The Dirt Grip pads might be dirty. Install a clean set of pads. If you washed
the Dirt Grip pads with powdered detergent, then they could be damaged
and require replacement.
Due to accumulated soap or grease residue, the floor may require several
cleanings with the Steam Mop.
A more stubborn case may require you to rinse the floor with a mix of one
part vinegar and two parts water* (but
DO NOT
put any cleaning solution
into the steam mop's water tank).
*Please consult your flooring manufacturer’s care and maintenance
instructions before applying any cleaning products or solutions.
It’s hard to push or
pull the mop.
The mop might be hard to push or pull if the Dirt Grip pads aren’t wet
enough. It should get easier to move the mop across the floor after it’s been
running for a few minutes.
Overly dirty pads could also make it harder to push or pull the mop. We
recommend using clean pads.
