How do I use Spray Mop?Updated 3 days ago
TL;DR: Fill Spray Mop Bottle with diluted Universal Cleaner, click on a Mop Pad, and pull the trigger to spritz as you mop. One trigger pull per 1 to 2 sqm of floor. Use the light green Deep Clean Pad for grime and the dark green Everyday Pad for daily cleans. Only fill with diluted Universal Cleaner or plain water.
How do I use Spray Mop step by step?
✓ Four steps
Fill the bottle. Add diluted Universal Cleaner (or plain water for a light damp mop between deeper cleans). No essential oils.
Click the bottle in. Slot the bottle into the holster on the mop body until it locks into place.
Attach a Mop Pad. Press a pad to the underside of the plate. Light green for deep cleans, dark green for everyday. The pad sticks via hook-and-loop tabs.
Spray and mop. Pull the trigger on the handle to release a fine spray, then sweep slowly. Aim for one trigger pull per 1 to 2 sqm.
Which Mop Pad should I use?

Deep Clean Mop Pads (light green)
Heavier microfibre weave that grips and lifts dirt. Best for grime, post-spill cleanup, and weekly deep cleans.

Everyday Mop Pads (dark green)
Lighter weave for daily light cleans, kitchen tile maintenance, and high-traffic areas where you mop often.
⚠ Pad care
Both pads are machine washable on a 40 degree cycle or cooler. No tumble dry. Rotate pads regularly. A clean dry pad cleans more effectively than a soiled wet one. Always keep a few clean spares on hand for back-to-back rooms.
How do I avoid streaks on the floor?
✓ Less is more
Reduce solution use. Aim for one trigger pull per 1 to 2 sqm of flooring. Rotate to a fresh dry pad if yours feels heavy or wet.
⚠ Mop hard to push?
The light green Deep Clean Pad can create too much friction on certain floors. Switch to the dark green Everyday Pad for easier movement on smooth tiles, sealed timber, and laminate.
What can I fill the bottle with?
✓ Safe to fill with
Diluted Universal Cleaner at the standard floor dilution, or plain water for a light damp mop between deeper cleans.
⚠ Don't use
No citrus-based essential oils (they can degrade the plastic over time), no other detergents, no bleach solutions, no oil-based cleaners.
