WARNING: Your steam
mop is designed to clean
hard floor surfaces that will
withstand high heat. Do not use
on unsealed wood or unglazed
ceramic floors. On surfaces that
have been treated with wax or
some no wax floors, the sheen
may be removed by the heat
and steam action. It is always
recommended to test an isolated
area of the surface to be cleaned
before proceeding. We also
recommend that you check the
use and care instructions from
the floor manufacturer.
