The PurSteam SY105 is an all-purpose steam mop designed for household cleaning, offering a natural approach to sanitizing surfaces without the need for harmful chemicals. It is particularly effective for homes with children and pets, leveraging the power of heated water to clean and sterilize.
The PurSteam SY105 functions as a steam cleaner, utilizing high-temperature steam to clean and sanitize various floor surfaces. It is specifically designed for thorough cleaning of marble, ceramic, stone, linoleum, sealed hardwood floors, and parquet. The device heats water to produce steam, which is then applied to surfaces through a microfiber cloth attached to the mop head. This process effectively loosens dirt, grime, and kills germs without the use of chemical detergents. The steam flow rate can be adjusted from high to low using a control knob, allowing for tailored cleaning based on the surface and desired intensity. For sanitizing, the mop should be held over an area for a minimum of 8 seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds, to ensure effective germ elimination. The device is equipped with a water tank that holds 18.6 fl oz (550 ml) of water, providing approximately 20-30 minutes of continuous steam before refilling is needed.
The SY105 steam mop is designed for ease of assembly and use. To begin, the mop head slides onto the mop body until it clicks into place, ensuring a secure connection. A microfiber cloth is then attached to the mop head using Velcro strips, ready for hard floor cleaning. For carpets, a carpet glider accessory can be placed over the microfiber cloth and mop head, allowing the unit to slide smoothly across carpeted surfaces. The handle of the steam mop is collapsible, featuring unlock buttons that allow it to be folded for compact storage or extended for use. Once unfolded, the power cord is unwrapped and plugged into a grounded outlet.
Operation is straightforward: the power button is pressed to turn on the unit, indicated by a green LED power indicator. The device takes approximately 25-30 seconds to preheat and begin producing steam, during which a boiler noise may be heard. Steam release is initiated by pressing the power button on the handle, and the steam flow rate can be adjusted using the steam control knob. To stop steam release, the power button is pressed again. The mop is then slowly passed over the surfaces to be cleaned. It is recommended to sweep or vacuum floors prior to using the steam mop for optimal cleaning results. The device is designed for indoor use only and should not be operated without water in the tank or without the microfiber cloth in place. Users are advised to wear suitable shoes when operating the appliance and changing accessories, avoiding slippers or open-toed footwear.
Safety features are integrated into the design and usage guidelines. Users are warned against directing steam at people, animals, electrical appliances, or outlets, and to exercise extreme caution as the appliance gets very hot during use. The steam mop should never be left unattended while connected to power or standing in an upright position on a floor for more than 15 seconds, as this could lead to residue buildup. It is also crucial not to immerse the steam mop in water or other liquids, and to avoid using it with a damaged cord or plug. The manual emphasizes not to force the plug into an outlet or use extension cords with inadequate current capacity.
Maintaining the PurSteam SY105 involves several steps to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Before any cleaning or maintenance, the appliance must be disconnected from the outlet and allowed to cool down. All remaining water should be drained from the base after each use.
For the microfiber cloths, cleaning is simple: they should be washed with a mild detergent, and fabric softeners or bleach should be avoided to preserve their effectiveness.
Cleaning the steam mop body and accessories involves wiping the steamer with a soft cloth. The manual specifies that the steam mop should only be used with its own specially developed microfiber cloths and filters, which are available from retailers. The carpet glider and measuring cup accessories can be cleaned in warm, soapy water and left to air dry.
A key maintenance recommendation, especially for users in areas with hard water (high dissolved minerals), is to use distilled or demineralized water. This helps prevent the buildup of lime scale, which can impact product performance and reduce the steam mop's longevity. The manual explicitly warns against placing descaling, aromatic, alcoholic, or detergent products into the steam mop tank, as this can damage the appliance and void the warranty. Similarly, cleaning detergents should never be put into the steam mop, as this makes operation unsafe and can damage the unit.
Proper storage is also part of maintenance. Before storing, the appliance should be allowed to cool, the dirty microfiber cloth removed, and any water drained from the tank. The tank can be stored attached to the steam mop. The handle can be folded down for compact storage by pressing the unlock buttons. After use, all accessories, including the microfiber cloth, should be removed and cleaned. The power cord can be wrapped around the top and bottom cord hooks (or around the body and handle if folded). The lifting handle allows for easy transport and upright storage in a dry area or hanging with a storage hook. Regular cleaning of the steam nozzle is also advised if reduced steam or no steam is experienced, indicating a potential blockage.
