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.
