Frequently Asked Questions
Can steam mops be used on all types of flooring?
Steam mops work best on sealed hard surfaces like ceramic tile, vinyl, and laminate. They can be used on sealed hardwood floors with low steam settings, but should not be used on unsealed wood, waxed floors, or carpeting. Always check your flooring manufacturer's cleaning recommendations first.
Do steam mops actually kill germs and bacteria?
Yes, the high temperature of steam (typically 212°F) can eliminate many common household bacteria, dust mites, and germs without chemicals. However, steam mops are not medical-grade sanitizers and may not eliminate all pathogens or viruses.
How often do I need to replace the microfiber pads?
Most microfiber pads can be machine washed and reused 50-100 times before losing effectiveness. For typical household use, pads may last 6-12 months. Having multiple pads allows you to wash them in rotation.
Is distilled water necessary, or can I use tap water?
While tap water usually works fine, distilled water helps prevent mineral buildup in the internal components, potentially extending the mop's lifespan. In areas with very hard water, distilled water is particularly recommended to avoid scale deposits.
