I think its the mop heads they have a strange smell to them, washed 4 times to get the smell out and it still leaves the floor looking cloudy. Whitch

These cloth mop covers doesnt smell and it doesnt leave any marks on my floor. It doesnt come apart either. Works well with the Bruce spray.

I have not used the new mop heads that I purchased but after your e-mail I took them out of their package and smelled them. They do have a slight cleaning solution odor. I can't tell you how they would clean as I have not used them.

I've had no smell to the covers , and wash them in the machine with oither rags used for coeaning . Works well with the Bruce Floor Cleaner .

mine has no smell to them. I throw them in the wash with my whites and they come out nice and clean. I think I may have bought the wrong kind though. The last ones I had had a foam backing to them and these don't. If anyone knows which ones i'm talking about please let me know so I can buy the right ones.

Mine was cloudy too, but unlike the other 2 responders, after approximately 5 hours, it cleared and looked amazing. We may have been lucky though, I read some poor reviews of this lamp.

Have you checked the roller in the bottom of the vacuum? Could be tangled with hair. Secondly, the motor and canister areas need to be cleaned out or they will get congested with dust/particles.

I've never had this issue with it. I usually just use my bare hands with some warm soapy water to clean them, rinse thoroughly, then let them air dry. If that does not work, I would contact the manufacturer.

The possibility of this problem could be 1. the surface not VERY clean. 2. the tile surface isn't smooth.

That sounds like a fungus. I would give it a try. When my machine turned an ugly brown, after 8 years, this product took care of it in one use.

Excess water could mean you are overfilling the tank. This has happened with another brand of steam mop I have had.

I cannot imaging why. Maybe it is from the cleaning supplies that come with it.

I've found this happens with my Bissell as well. What I do is turn down the steam dial. I have it set somewhere in the middle and it seems to help, though it leaves a bit of moisture. Also found that during winter when I've got my whole house humidifier on, I need to turn the steam dial even lower. Another thing I've found is that when the pad is dry it's less likely to leave streaks/wetness. As it gets wetter the issue becomes worse.I've had other steam mops that don't do this so no it's definitely not normal.

I had the same thing happen recently. Just make sure you change the water every 3 days, and that should take care of the mold.

The floors have a slight dampness ,which drys almost immedietly. I guess the hot steam helps with the drying. Hope this helps

I've tried the boiling water trick but they still came out cloudy. Honestly the best thing I found was distilled water. I use a jug of super distilled water and they come out clear as day.

It might be that you put it on a little too thick. When we line the mugs we put one coat on and just to make sure we use a propane torch to get any excess out and let them drain. Then we sand them lightly and wipe them out with a rag dampened with paint thinner and when we are sure they are dry we coat a second time and use the torch again to make sure there are no bubbles etc. Hope this helps you.

they are so stinky. I aired them out and now the little one doesn't smell but the big one still does. Any suggestions? My friend ordered the same thing and it doesn't smell. I threw away the box so I am having a hard time finding one to ship it back in.

If you mean after multiple cycles in the washing machine, the pads don't look brand new anymore. I do bleach them in the wash, but to the mops credit, it picks up so much filth they can look a little grey. But they ARE clean. If you're asking how long they last during a cleaning... I mop a large area like the kitchen, then I pick it up and peek under the mop to see how much I've picked up. If it's COVERED in dirt I change it, if I can still see the white of the pad I keep going. Hope that helped!

I have had this issue too but discovered washing at a higher temp and or using a bit of bleach and using an extra rinse cycle keeps the synthetics fresh. Otherwise, the synthetics will stink!

No mine are very cloudy. Not clear at all. I tried tap water, bottled water and distilled water. All are cloudy and only last about 30 minutes, not hours.Not worth the trouble.
