Troubleshooting
Mop pad not picking up dirt effectively.
Ensure the mop pad is clean; a dirty or clogged pad will be less effective. Machine wash the pad. If the pad is old (over 6 months), consider replacing it as its microfibres may be worn.
Floor remains too wet after mopping or has streaks.
The mop pad is likely too wet. Utilize the integrated wringer more thoroughly to remove excess water. For best results, ensure the pad is damp, not soaking wet.
Difficulty maneuvering the mop around furniture.
Check that the 180° swivel head is free to move. Ensure the mop head is fully flat on the floor during use to allow the swivel mechanism to function optimally. Clear any obstructions around furniture.
