Instead, start by tapping off as much loose dirt and dust as possible into a bin.
Use a Dust Mop and a Wet Mop.Soft microfibre dust mops are great for removing the fine dust your vacuum doesn’t pick up.
This means there’s less risk of particles dragging across your floor and leaving micro-scratches.Most also have washable pads, which makes them eco-friendly.. As for a wet mop, you want something soft that won’t saturate your floors.. Spray mops work well, as you control the moisture level with the spray trigger.As a bonus, most of them use microfibre pads, which trap fine dust and don’t hold too much water..
If you prefer a traditional mop and bucket, choose one with a wringing mechanism..If your mop puts too much water to the floor, it can seep through the surface and damage interior layers or even remove the finish.
Be careful to avoid oversaturating hardwood and use a soft cloth to dry spillages.. 6.
Stay Away From Steam Mops.When this happens, don’t try and turn the cleaner back on, just wait for it to cool down.
The general rule is to wait at least 30 minutes, but your instruction manual will advise the correct time for the model..Before carrying out any maintenance, make sure you switch the vacuum cleaner off and unplug it from the mains.. 4.
The Motor Has Overheated.The motor in your vacuum needs continuous cool air to prevent overheating.
