Why are my floors cloudy after using Shark Steam Cleaner?

  If floors are cloudy, spotty, or streaky after cleaning with your Shark Steam Cleaner, the cleaning pad may be dirty, so change it. If the washable cleaning pad was washed with powder detergent, then it may be damaged and require replacement. The mop may have been left in one spot for too long. This may be leftover from past cleaners used on the floor surface. Use the mop a few more times again with a clean pad and see if the cloudiness is removed. If this does not work, we suggest rinsing the floor with water, letting it dry and then steam mopping again with a clean pad. One or more rinses generally removes the residue. A more stubborn case may require you to rinse the floor with a mix of one part vinegar and two parts water.

  The unit is not meant to be turned upside down, which can cause the Cleanser Bottle to fall out. Avoid turning the unit upside down, and if necessary, remove the Cleanser Bottle first. Make sure the bottle is inserted all the way in until you hear a click.

  If floors are cloudy, spotty, or streaky after cleaning, the cleaning pad may be dirty, so try changing it. The mop may have been left in one spot for too long. It might also be residue from past cleaners; try using the mop a few more times with a clean pad. If cloudiness persists, rinse the floor with water or a mix of vinegar and water, then steam mop again with a clean pad.

  If your Shark Steam & Spray™ Mop is squirting foam from the spray nozzle, ensure the Cleanser Bottle is firmly inserted into the unit until you hear a 'click'. If the issue persists, there may be air in the system; hold down the spray button for 5 to 10 seconds to flush it.

  If your Shark Steam & Spray™ Mop is leaving water on the floor, avoid leaving the mop on the floor with a damp cleaning pad. If you're using tap water, switch to distilled water. Make sure the cap is securely placed on the water tank.

Why is my Shark Steam & Spray™ Mop not making steam?

  If your Shark Steam & Spray™ Mop isn't producing steam, first check if the water tank is filled; if not, add water. Ensure the steam locking collar is in the 'Steam & Spray' position, as steam won't activate in 'Spray Only' mode. Also, verify that the water intake tube isn't stuck at the top of the tank; push it down to reach the bottom. If problems persist, follow the decalcification instructions.

  If your Shark Steam & Spray™ Mop isn't spraying, ensure that the batteries are correctly inserted or replace them with new ones. Check that the Cleanser Bottle is fully inserted until you hear a click and contains enough cleaning solution; if not, replace it. If the issue persists, there might be air in the system; hold the spray button for 5-10 seconds. Also, the spray nozzle could be clogged, and it may need cleaning.

  The unit is not meant to be turned upside down. When upside-down, the Cleanser Bottle is at risk for falling out of its cradle. Please do not turn the unit upside-down. If it is necessary to turn the unit upside-down, remove the Cleanser Bottle first. Also, make sure the bottle is inserted all the way in until you hear a click.
