      Laurie BarrettAug 12, 2025
      If your floors appear cloudy, streaky, or spotty after using the Shark Steam Cleaner, the micro-fiber pocket might be dirty. Try flipping or changing the pocket. If you washed the pocket with powder detergent, it might be ruined. For kitchen areas with grease build-up, pre-clean with a degreasing agent like an all-purpose cleaner or dish soap and paper towels. Avoid leaving the mop in one spot for too long. If you have hard water, switch to distilled water.
