How to use Spray MopUpdated 19 hours ago

TL;DR: Fill Spray Mop bottle with undiluted Universal Cleaner, attach a pad, prime the trigger at a 45 to 75 degree angle, and clean using 1 trigger pull per 1 to 2 square metres. Floor should be virtually dry as you go. Tested to 8000 triggers.

How do I put Spray Mop together?

Spray Mop ships in two main pieces: the pole (with handle and trigger on top, lower pole below) and the plate. To put together, align the lower pole with the plate receiver and press straight down until you feel or hear a click. Give it a gentle wiggle to confirm it's seated. To pull apart for storage or transport, hold the plate steady and pull the pole straight up. The two videos below show the exact technique.

How do I use Spray Mop?

Fill the bottle with undiluted Koh Universal Cleaner. Attach a mop pad to the underside of the mop head. Prime the trigger by holding the mop at 45 to 75 degrees and pulling a few times until solution sprays from the nozzle. Clean using 1 trigger pull per 1 to 2 square metres in a steady back-and-forth motion. Floor should be virtually dry as you move to the next section. Don't dilute Universal Cleaner. Don't add citrus essential oils as they degrade the plastic.

1

Fill the bottle. Pour in Universal Cleaner undiluted. Don't add water, don't add citrus essential oils. Replace lid and slide bottle back into holster.

2

Attach a pad. Press onto the underside of the mop head so the hook-and-loop grips evenly across the plate.

3

Prime the trigger. Hold the mop at 45 to 75 degrees and pull the trigger a few times until solution sprays from the nozzle above the mop plate.

4

Spray and mop. Use 1 trigger pull per 1 to 2 square metres. Mop in a steady back-and-forth motion. Floor should be virtually dry as you move on.

✓ Less is more

Tested to 8000 triggers. Light spraying gives a near-dry finish that cleans more effectively than a soggy, oversaturated mop. A clean dry pad cleans better than a dirty wet one.

✓ Swap pads as you go

Change pads after each room or once noticeably wet or soiled. Pads perform best when clean and dry. The mop also works vertically, so flip it over for a quick wall wash.

Which mop pad should I use, Everyday or Deep Clean?

Both Spray Mop pads are green. Dark green pads are Everyday Mop Pads for daily and weekly cleaning. They glide more easily and are the better choice for routine maintenance. Light green pads are Deep Clean Mop Pads with more grip to lift ground-in dirt for spring cleans, post-renovation jobs, or stickier residue. Note that the colour names changed a while ago. The previous range was a blue and green pair, now both are green. Both pads are premium microfibre and machine washable up to 40 degrees Celsius.
