Get to know some great stuff about your 

H2O MOP X5 !! 

Your 5-in-1 Steam cleaner with variable Steam 

Does the H2O Mop X5 kill bed bugs?


Ans- Yes, the H2O Mop X5 kills up to 99% of house-hold bacteria, as well as bed bugs. We recommend steaming any mattresses and upholstery with your upholstery / garment steaming attachment. The hot steam kills bacteria and bed bugs, while the microfiber cloth lifts and locks them.


How long do the Microfiber pads last?


Ans- Microfiber Pads can last between 6 months and 1 year depending on the usage, and the care taken.

To prolongue the life of your Microfiber Pads, please follow these care instructions:

- Machine wash 60 ºC (140 ºF)
- Do not bleach
- Do not use softener
- Allow to air dry

Will this be effective on my car upholstery??

Ans- The upholstery / garment steaming attachment is a great tool to clean car upholstery. The hot steam loosens stains and odors, while the microfiber cloth lifts and locks it.

What type of water do I use?

Ans- The H2O Mop X5 uses tap water. However, in areas with hard water, distilled water or Boiled/Soft water should be used for better performance.

My mop stopped producing steam/is producing very little steam, what can I do for this?

Ans- Be sure that the unit is disconnected from the power outlet when performing cleaning. Drain the remaining water in the tank and clean the tank after every use. Please use detergent to clean the accessories (jet Nozzle and Round Brush) when they are dirty, then wash with clean water and air dry.

How to decalcify the Water Tank interior:

To clean calcium deposits that build up inside the Water Tank, add one or two tablespoons of white vinegar to a full Water Tank, close the Water Tank cap and shake the contents. Do NOT turn the steamer on.

Do not immerse the H2O Mop X5 in water.

Cleaning procedure to remove lime scale: 

• If your H2O Mop X5 begins to produce steam more slowly than usual or stops producing steam you may need to remove lime scale. Lime scale can develop over time on the metal parts and greatly affect mop performance. It is necessary to remove lime scale on a regular basis, every 25 – 50 tomes you use a full tank of water or a least once a month, especially in areas with hard water. The frequency of lime scale removal depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the steam mop. The H2O Mop X5 uses tap water. However, in areas with hard water, distilled water should be used for better performance.
• Removal of lime scale from the H2O Mop X5 by using scraper:
  • Make sure that the H2O Mop X5 is disconnected from the power supply before maintenance.
  • Use the Cleaning Pin provided with your unit to remove scale deposits from the small hole of the steam outlet in the main Body (see instruction manual for detailed illustration) by swirling and pushing the pin up and down you will clean the steam outlet. Always ensure that all scale debris have been removed from the steam outlet before reassembling. Continue swirling Cleaning Pin until no further debris is evident.
• By using cleaning solution:
  • Prepare a solution of ½ white vinegar and 2/3 tap water and add to the water tank.
  • Secure and position the unit to ensure steam released is aimed away from the floor or surrounding objects and surfaces and away from any body part. Plug the unit in, turn the unit ON by pressing the Power Switch (O/I) and allow the unit to produce steam until the vinegar/water solution is used up.
  • Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a normal steam flow rate is achieved.
  • Fill the Water Tank with fresh water and rinse out.
  • Fill the Water Tank with fresh water, attach to the unit and release steam through the system until the Water Tank is empty.

Do not leave the steamer unattended during the lime scale removal process and/or while in use. Perform a test cleaning on a suitable isolated area after each lime scale removal to ensure that there is no debris left in the system.

• Cleaning blocked steamer accessories:
• Due to the high mineral content of water in some areas, you may notice that less steam comes out from the Hand-Held Steamer accessories. This may be caused by calcium buildup inside the tip of the nozzle. How to clean the buildup: We recommend using a spray lubricant. Spray a small burst or two of the lubricant inside the tip of the Jet Nozzle. After spraying lubricant inside the component, fill the steamer with water according to the directions and run a continuous jet of steam through the affected accessory for several minutes to remove the deposit. Once the steam pathway is clear, aim the steamer at a neutral surface or a cleaning cloth to make sure no debris is emitted. We recommend performing this procedure in a protected and well- ventilated area

 How can I prevent my H2O Mop X5 from leaving puddles of water?

Ans- To avoid puddling of water, the Microfiber Cloth must be clean and dry for use. To replace the cleaning cloth, proceed as follows: Let the cleaning cloth cool down, remove cloth from unit, replace with a new Microfiber Cloth and continue use. Select Low steam regulator position for minimal steam.
