How to Clean an H20 Mop

Keeping your H20 Mop clean will ensure you achieve consistently good results.

The H20 Mop utilises steam to clean floors and carpets. It is equipped with triangular shaped microfiber cloths for floor cleaning, which attach to the mop head by means of a drawstring. These microfiber cloths absorb dirt when the steam is turned on and the mop is pushed along the floor. The H20 Mop has a carpet glider to facilitate the cleaning of rugs and carpets. The mop head fits into this once the microfiber cloth has been attached.

Things You'll Need

• Knitting needle
• White vinegar

Cleaning the Microfiber Mop Head Covers

1. Switch the H20 Mop off and remove the plug from the socket.

2. Remove the microfiber mop head cover from the H20 Mop.

3. Drop the microfiber cloth into your washing machine and wash it in hot water. Once dry, it can be used again. Do not use fabric softener when washing these microfiber cloths.
