ANSWER
No, the Steam Mop is not designed for carpet cleaning.
The Steam Mop is designed for use on all sealed hard floor surfaces. We
recommend that you first test an isolated area of the floor surface to be cleaned as
well as review the use and care instructions from your floor manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not use on leather, wax-polished furniture, synthetic
fabrics, velvet, or other delicate, steam-sensitive materials.
NOTE: On surfaces treated with wax and on some no-wax floors, the sheen
may be removed by the heat or steam action of the unit. Test an isolated area of
flooring first to see if sheen is affected.
DO NOT add cleaning solutions, scented perfumes, oils, or any other chemicals
to the water used in this appliance, as this may damage the unit or make it
unsafe for use. We recommend using distilled water in your Steam Mop.
