How do I use Spray Mop?Updated 20 hours ago

TL;DR: Fill Spray Mop Bottle with Universal Cleaner, never dilute, press on a Mop Pad, and pull the trigger to spray as you mop. One trigger pull covers around 1 sqm. Use the light green Deep Clean Pad for deeper cleans and the dark green Everyday Pad for daily cleans. Plain cold water works too, but only for oiled or waxed timber floors.

How do I use Spray Mop step by step?

Fill Spray Mop Bottle with Koh Universal Cleaner, never dilute, and replace the cap. Connect the bottle into the holster on the Spray Mop Bottom. Place a Mop Pad on the floor and press the Spray Mop Plate onto it. Pull the trigger once, then push the mop back and forth over around 1 sqm before repeating on the next section.

✓ Four steps

1

Fill the bottle. Add Universal Cleaner (never dilute) and replace the cap securely.

2

Connect the bottle. Slot the bottle into the holster on the Spray Mop Bottom until it locks into place.

3

Attach a Mop Pad. Place a pad on the floor, white side facing up, and apply the Spray Mop Plate onto the pad. Light green for deeper cleans, dark green for everyday.

4

Spray and mop. Pull the trigger once to release spray from the nozzle just below the bottle, then slowly push the mop head back and forth over around 1 sqm. For heavier soiled floors, repeat. The floor should be virtually dry when finished. Move to the next section and repeat.

✓ Tip: use the Dusting Mop Pad (not included) or a dustpan or vacuum to clear loose dust, hair and debris first.


Which Mop Pad should I use?

Spray Mop pairs with two wet Mop Pads, plus the Dusting Mop Pad for a dry first pass. Light green Deep Clean Pads use a performance weave for deeper cleans; dark green Everyday Pads use a lighter weave for daily cleans and high-traffic areas. All pads are machine washable on a 40 degree cycle or cooler, no tumble dry.

Koh Deep Clean Mop Pads light green

Deep Clean Mop Pads (light green)

Performance weave designed for deeper cleans. Some floor types may need more effort due to resistance between this pad and the floor. If that becomes untenable, switch to Everyday Mop Pads (dark green) for that floor type.

Everyday Mop Pads (dark green)

Lighter weave for daily light cleans, kitchen tile maintenance and high-traffic areas that need frequent cleaning.

Everyday cleans Machine washable

Dusting Mop Pad

A dry pass before wet mopping. Lifts loose dust, hair and debris so the wet pads last longer between washes.

✓ Pad care

All Koh mop pads are machine washable on a 40 degree cycle or cooler. No tumble dry. Use the Scrubby Tool (attached to the Spray Mop pole) to comb off hair before washing. Rotate pads regularly. A clean dry pad performs more effectively than a soiled wet one. Keep a few clean spares on hand for back-to-back rooms. Spare pads available here.

40° wash max No tumble dry Rotate pads

How do I avoid streaks on the floor?

Streaks usually mean too much solution on the floor or a saturated pad. Reduce trigger pulls to one per 1 sqm and rotate to a fresh dry pad once it feels heavy or wet. If the mop is hard to push, the light green Deep Clean Pad may be creating friction on certain floors. Switch to the dark green Everyday Pad for easier movement.

✓ Less is more

Aim for one trigger pull per 1 sqm. Rotate to a fresh dry pad once wet or soiled.

What can I fill the bottle with?

Only fill Spray Mop Bottle with Koh Universal Cleaner, never dilute. Plain cold water works for oiled or waxed timber floors only. Never add citrus-based essential oils, other detergent cleaning products, bleach or oil-based cleaners, as this can damage components and voids your warranty.
