Deux:ling your water tank

DO NOT TURN THE STEAMER ON. Let the unit sit for a few hours. Empty the water tank and refill with clean water and empty until it rinses clear.
Removing time scale build up from the steamer

limescale, even if you do not live in a hard water area, we recommend
descaling the steamer every 15-25 uses. The frequency of lime scale removal
depends upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the steam
mop.
