I'm not seeing any steam coming out and the floor and rugs don't feel very warm after a pass with the mop. Is this normal?

You should hear the steam, but not necessarily see it. The floors don't get wet, the heat dries them pretty quick. Make sure you push the button all the way to the top.

We have not had the mop that long, but I would say it is NOT normal. We have a steady supply of steam coming from the mop. I can say that it does use A LOT more water than any other steam mop we have purchased in the past. You may just be running low on water when that happens.

Be the green button is not blinking. If it is, press it again. Blinking means it's on standby and will NOT produce steam. If the problem persists, contact Amazon for a replacement or refund. Also...make sure you have water in the tank. LOL.

No that is not normal. I can see and feel the steam coming out of my mop. Make sure you have plent of water in the holder, plug it in and wait until you can see the steam coming out. You may need to hit it gently on the floor if there is no steam after maybe 10 minutes. If none of this works, you may have a defective mop. Mine steams lots! Gay

Don't squeeze the lever all the time. Use fan after you mop and when done, sit it in the plastic holding area. If you see that the floor is really wet, you can stop to trigger the handle and just mop the floor. Hope this helps.

So when i vacuum the tile i put it on the bare floor setting and that works the same as sweeping. However you would still need to mop accordingly as the vacuum doesn't do that.

You have to hold the trigger button to release the steam. One the trigger is released the the steam will stop. I have sealed hardwood floors and ceramic tile in my apartment and after I use the steam mop I pass the white sock test and my floors feel clean when I walk bare footed

No, I just fill it with hot water. I compared other models before purchasing. Has about twice the water pressure of a rug doctor and about 2/3 the suction force.

Not as such... I had thought I might try using a freshly cleaned microfiber with the floor attachment and putting it directly on the power handle without the two extensions. Same precautions as with floors, run all water out with steam until NO drips. One nice thing I forgot to put on review is that you get 45 min of steam, not 2-8 like the tiny hand held models! You have time to get a lot done!

My unit is kept at about the same temp as yours. It is a guest bedroom and doesn't get the constanttem change due to a humanbody or covers being on and off - however I checked it just now and -yes - it does feel rather warm. I honestly do not know if it feels like that all the time are just when it is actually warming the bed. As it cools down to room temperature and or below the currentwater temp - it will of course be activated and go into the warming mode. My guess is that is normal when it is in the heating mode. Mine has worked fine so far. Hope this helps.

In order for it to steam, the receptacle has to be filled with water, the switch on the front of the mop has to be flipped to "steam," and the plate the mop pads velcro to must be attached. If you've taken all of these steps, check the outlet where it is plugged in (when I clean at work, only two outlets out of four actually function!). If it still doesn't work, you may have a defective machine. Hope this helps.

I had this problem too. lol. Be sure that you are holding the handle at the grip part. In this picture, its the middle part of the handle that is colored red. If you hold it anywhere else, the handle and the mop head will come apart., Try it. I hope I described it correctly, if not get back to me. Youre gonna love this mop

It depends how much you wring it. I always wring it out halfway and mop, then wring it out again so it's drier and go over the area again. It gets very dry if you wring it a lot.

The carpet is warm immediately after running steam vac over the area being cleaned, due to the warm/hot water in the dispenser; however, if you walk away, it will probably be cooled down when you go back. I always ensure I run over the clean area without engaging the release of cleaner to ensure that the carpet isn't saturated, which allows for quicker drying. Hope this answers you question.

Mine has been doing the same thing. I just bought it this week. The floor is soaked underneath. It looks like the steam comes and out and goes right down to the rug, no matter which way I position it. I'm taking it back to target.

Mine didn't affect the floor because I couldn't achieve enough steam. I ended up returning it.

I dont and it seems to work fine. They suggest rinsing mop during cleaning the floor to minimize streaking

Actually I have tried using very hot water on the floors with nothing in it and it works well, also tends to dry without streaking. Unless the floors are pretty dirty than I will use a mild soap and very little just to get dirt off or the vinegar mixture, after that go back to just very hot water. Hope that helps.

Steam does not continue once trigger is released. It doesn't leave the floor soaked like mopping does. Steam cleans quickly and efficiently without much effort - less is more. You can saturate a floor area more than necessary, but the hot, damp floor pad will grab most of it. You figure out 'how much and how long' using trigger and cleaning settings very quickly depending on the surface and amount of dirt on your floor. Where water will just 'sit', steam evaporates quickly so drying time is not much of an issue. The directions are clear on how to use the steam mop properly, and I've had no problems. Hope this helps. :)

It is put into the tank with water to use. I am not sure about the steam mop
