FAQs
Can I use cleaning solutions or detergents in the water tank?
No, the Shark Steam Mop is designed to clean and sanitise using only plain water (distilled water is recommended to prevent mineral buildup). Do not add any cleaning solutions, detergents, or essential oils to the water tank as this can damage the appliance and void the warranty.
How often should I empty the debris bins?
It is recommended to empty both the wet and dry debris bins after each use to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. This also prevents accumulation that could affect debris pickup efficiency.
Is it safe to use on all types of floors?
The Shark Steam Mop is safe and effective for use on all sealed hard floors, including sealed hardwood, laminate, tile, and stone. It is not suitable for unsealed floors, unsealed wood, or carpet, as steam can cause damage to these surfaces.
How do I clean the brush-roll?
Regularly remove the brush-roll from the mop head and remove any tangled hair, threads, or debris. You can rinse it under running water if necessary and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching. Replace the brush-roll if it shows signs of significant wear.
What kind of water should I use in the steam mop?
For best results and to prevent mineral scale buildup, it is highly recommended to use distilled water in the steam mop. Using tap water, especially in hard water areas, can lead to mineral deposits that may affect steam production over time.
How long does it take for the mop to heat up?
The Shark Steam Mop has a fast heat-up time of approximately 30 seconds, allowing you to start cleaning almost immediately after plugging it in.
Troubleshooting
Mop is not producing steam.
Ensure the water tank is filled and properly seated. Check if the mop has heated up completely (it takes about 30 seconds). Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
Debris is not being picked up or separated effectively.
Check if the debris bins are full and empty them. Ensure the brush-roll is clean and free of tangled hair or large debris. The brush-roll may need to be replaced if worn.
Mop leaves streaks or excess water on the floor.
Ensure you are using distilled water to prevent mineral buildup. Check the brush-roll for excessive saturation or wear. Allow the mop to fully heat up before use. Move the mop at a consistent, moderate pace.
Mop has reduced cleaning performance.
Verify that the water tank is full and the brush-roll is clean. For stubborn stains, you may need to go over the area slowly multiple times. Ensure the floor type is sealed and appropriate for steam cleaning.
