may damage it or make it
unsafe for use.
Tip:
The Steam & Sweep may be
used as both a steam mop and a
sweeper at the same time.
2. To sanitize an area of your floor,
(attack invisible germs and bacteria)

but no longer than 20 seconds. For
larger areas, overlap swivel head

emitting steam, turn the unit off.
Simply remove the water tank, refill,
and continue cleaning.
