Shark Steam Mops FAQs

What floors can you use a steam mop on?

Shark steam mops are suitable for use on all sealed hard floors, including tile, stone, marble, vinyl, hardwood and sealed laminate. Do not use on unsealed wood or unglazed ceramic floors. On surfaces that have been treated with wax and on some no-wax floors, using a steam mop may remove the sheen due to the heat and steam action. We recommend testing an isolated area of the surface to be cleaned before proceeding. We also recommend that you check the use and care instructions from the floor manufacturer.

Can you use a steam mop on laminate?

Shark steam mops are suitable for use on all sealed hard floors, including sealed laminate. If you are unsure, check the use and care instructions from your floor manufacturer.

How do you use a Shark steam mop?

Shark’s steam mops automatically produce steam – simply plug in, select a setting, then slowly move forwards and backwards over the floor. Manual steam mops require a gentle pumping action as you mop to activate the steam. Don’t add any steam mop detergent, soap or other liquids – Shark steam mops clean using the power of steam alone, with just water!

Can you use a steam mop on wood floors?

Yes! Shark steam mops are safe to use on sealed hardwood floors, along with other sealed hard surfaces like laminate, bamboo, tile, marble, and stone. Using just the power of water, to deep clean the entire home.

However, steam mops should not be used on unsealed or unfinished wood floors. The heat and moisture can cause the wood grain to rise and may permanently damage the surface.

Not sure if your floors are sealed? We recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area first, and always checking the care instructions from your floor manufacturer before use.

How to care for your Shark steam mop

Clean Using Water Alone: To prolong the life of your steam mop, we recommend using distilled water in the tank. Make sure you only add water to the tank — chemicals or cleaning solutions (including vinegar) may damage the steam mop and could be unsafe.

Two-Step Cleaning: For best results, sweep or vacuum your floors before cleaning with your steam mop.

Empty Before Storing: After use, unplug your steam mop and let it cool before removing the Dirt Grip pads. Empty the water tank before storing. Wait until it has fully cooled and all the steam has been released.

How to Clean Dirt Grip Pads: Machine wash your Dirt Grip pads separately in warm water using liquid detergent. Never use bleach, powdered detergent or fabric softeners, as these may damage the pads or leave a coating that reduces cleaning performance and absorbency. Line dry or tumble dry on a low setting to help extend the life of the microfibre fabric. Over time, dirt particles, grease, friction and repeated washing can cause the fibres to break down. For best cleaning results, replace your Dirt Grip pads every 3 to 4 months with normal use.
