Do you fill it with water or floor cleaner or do you attach a pre-wet cleaning pad to have it in mop the floor?

Second one. You can buy a pad or wet Swiffer-type cloths, which I wash with dishwashing soap, add vinegar for cleaning, and reuse. It does a very good job.

No, you don't need to add water. I h r stopped using this product though as it seemed to build up. I am still looking for the perfect wood floor cleaner.

Initially, the floor is wet once the steamer passes over the area. But, it dries very quickly. Much, much quicker than a mop. I love the way the steamer cleans. I feel like it is much more sanitized than after running a mop over it.

I just use distilled water. Unless your floor is SUPER dirty the steam lifts dirt just fine.

The mop head has strips of velcro all the length of the bottom of mop head.i wet the pad in a bucket ring it out lay it flat on the floor.just hold mop above pad lower & press together. I then press my foot on it to make sure iits secure.usually holds pretty well.then pul pad off when it needs rinsing & repeat.

1 cup of water fills it and I use tap water. They say the mop needs less cleaning out if you use distilled I believe

You really don't have to do a thing but push it along the floor. The pump is built in between the handle and the steam mop: which means every time you push the mop forward, you just pumped it! I advise filling it with water, plugging it in and waiting a good 2-3 minutes for the steam to really get going and remember... the first few strokes will be pumping steam onto a dry mop head, so you really won't get decent results until the mop head cloth is damp with steam condensate. Be patient and know that you'll have to cover you first few passes again and I think you'll really enjoy this steam mop. You really don't have to do a thing but push it along the floor.

Simply place mop head on floor, step on mop strands and pull handle up. The head quickly snaps off and you can toss it in the washer.

Depends on how dirty your floor is - I do tend to rinse and reuse. If it is a room I mop a lot, not big, or doesn't have much foot traffic, I don't need to rinse.

Hi Allie....LOL.. I wondered the same thing too.. Nope.. just hold it down for about 5-10 seconds and mop away.. the steam still comes out for a few seconds on it's own and the mop part is wet enough to clean. Happy cleaning.. I love mine!!

I have one of those sponge-on-a-stick mops. I have one sponge head dedicated to washing and another to waxing. Personally, I just dribble some on the floor and spread it around, but you could get a small rectangular container shaped a bit like the mop head but a bit larger, and use it to soak and re-soak the head.

If you have lots of animal fur or especially dirty floors, I would suggest pre-sweeping. I run Roomba first. It's more difficult to clean up wet fur out of the rollers and tanks than to just do a quick pick up first. Plus it is hard to see inside the tank to see if fur is stuck to the inside of it.

Vacuum the floor first to get up loose dirt. The Shark has a thick mop head that does a great job cleaning the floor.

No, you wet the Blue mop head, squeeze out all excess water, spray cleaner on the floor and mop. Works great on Laminate floor.

It pumps from the bottom so it will get real close to the floor. Then youll have to mop.

Any cloth will do. I use the wet swifter mop pad. Its a lot easier to work with as you can toss it afterwards.

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.
