PSTM40
Steam Vibrating Floor Mop

INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing Pyle for your household cleaning needs. Our floor care products
use the active power of steam without the use of chemicals; making it a green product
that is safe for the ecosystem. You have begun the first step into transforming your
house into a green, environmentally safe home. Our Pyle steam products are a modern
way of cleaning that is efficient and far more sanitary than conventional methods.
You can achieve a high level of effective cleaning by decreasing cleansing power thru
steam. When using our 100% cotton microfiber cloth pad to enhance absorbency
combined with the power of germ killing steam, dirt and grime can be eliminated in a
matter of seconds. The tiny hot vapor molecules penetrate porous surfaces being
cleaned, expanding and forcing dirt, debris, and bacteria to the surface. When used
correctly, our steam mops can kill dust mites and certain types of bacteria pathogens
such as salmonella and E-coli on contact.
Since you do not need chemicals in order to use our products, not only will you see the
savings in your wallet, but you have provided a safer place for you and your family to
live in. We encourage you to improve your way of life, better the environment, and
spend time enjoying your clean chemical free floor.
