Mop leaves
water on the floor.
Check to see if your micro-fiber cleaning pad is soaked
through. We recommend you unplug the steam mop and
change the micro-fiber cleaning pad.

Mop left a
white spot on the
floor.
Do not leave your steam mop on the floor with a damp or
wet cleaning pad.
If you’re using tap water we recommend switching
to distilled water.
Make sure the cap is securely on the water tank.
Floors are cloudy,
streaky or spotty
after steaming.
The pad might be dirty, change the pad.
If you washed the cleaning pad with powder detergent,
then it might be ruined. Replacement pads are available at
sharkclean.com.
You might have left the mop in the same spot for too long.
Do you have hard water? If you do, you might want to
switch to distilled water.
This might be leftover from past cleaners used on the floor
surface. Use the steam mop a few more times and see if
the leftover cloudiness is removed. If this does not work, we
suggest rinsing the floor with water, letting it dry, and then
steam mopping again with a clean pad. One or more rinses
generally removes the residue. A more stubborn case may
require you to rinse the floor with a mix of one part vinegar
and two parts water.
