How to Clean the Floor With a Shark Steam Mop

The Shark Steam Mop uses heat to lift away stubborn stains on your hard floors.

The Shark Steam Mop is a cleaning tool for hardwood and laminate floors that cleans and disinfects through the use of steam. Water from the reservoir tank is heated and steam is pumped through a microfiber cleaning cloth that lifts away dirt and stubborn messes.

Things You'll Need

• Distilled water

Instructions

1. Sweep your floors to remove any loose dirt.

2. Remove the water reservoir from the Shark Steam Mop and fill it with distilled water.

3. Unwrap the power chord from the back of the machine and plug into a standard electrical outlet. The green power "On" light will light up.

4. Allow your Shark Steam Mop to set for at least 30 seconds to heat up and prepare the steam.

5. Pump the handle of the steam mop a couple of times to release steam and dampen the bottom of the microfiber cleaning cloth.

6. Mop in a forward and backward motion to pump the handle as you mop and release more steam.

7. Stop mopping when the job is finished or the steamer runs out of water. You will notice the Shark Steam Mop is out of water when it no longer emits steam. Refill the tank if necessary.

8. Unplug the Shark Steam Mop. Remove the water tank if there is any leftover liquid and dispose of it in the sink.

9. Remove the microfiber cleaning pad from the bottom of the steamer and wash in the washing machine. Allow to air dry.

Tips & Warnings

• Using plain tap water instead of distilled water can cause hardwater buildup in your machine and will require more frequent cleaning.
