A: While you can technically use tap water in the PurSteam 12-in-1 Steam Mop, we highly recommends using distilled water. The heating element in a steam mop works by boiling water to 212°F (100°C). When you use tap water, the minerals (calcium and magnesium) don't evaporate with the steam; instead, they stay behind and harden into limescale.

A: The unit features a detachable handheld steam cleaner and usually comes with the necessary attachments to function as a garment steamer. Detach the steamer for clothes or use it as an upholstery cleaner for fabric, sofas, and drapes. It’s lightweight and makes quick work of stubborn wrinkles. Simply suspend your clothes on a hanger and steam them.

A: If your peel-and-stick tile is made of solid vinyl or a similar waterproof material, the steam mop on a low or medium setting should be fine for general sanitizing and cleaning. Excessive heat and moisture can be a risk for any flooring that is not completely sealed. Avoid holding the mop head in one spot for too long, as the prolonged heat and moisture could potentially weaken the adhesive or cause the tile edges to curl over time. Move quickly and efficiently. Steam is a great adhesive dissolver. You would likely use the handheld steamer with one of the included brush or scrape tools to apply concentrated heat to a small area of the residue, and then immediately scrape or scrub it up while it's soft.

A: It is crucial to understand that a steam mop is a cleaner and sanitizer, not a full-scale mold remediation tool. It is great for killing and removing visible, surface-level mildew and small patches of mold (like in a shower or window seal). If the mold has penetrated beyond the surface (e.g., into drywall, wood framing, or under the floor), you must use professional mold remediation, as the steam can sometimes drive the spores deeper or simply not reach the root of the problem.

A: Yes, it's designed to handle this kind of work using its handheld mode and squeegee attachment.

A: The high heat and moisture from a steam mop pose several risks to LVP. Check the manufacturer's warranty on your LVP flooring if they recommend steam mop.

A: When using the steam mop on various surfaces, caution is sometimes necessary, which is particularly relevant when cleaning wooden baseboards, as the intense heat could potentially cause damage or melt the glue used to attach them.
