Shark Lift-Away Pro Steam Pocket Mop Product Review Video

[@KVSM_2005]

Thank you for the video. A month ago I bought a Shark S6005UK I wanted to use it today for the first time.I am exited. Your video is very helpful. Cleared all my doubts. Thank you again.

[@Floppycats]

Oh good! I love that thing. I still use it years later. Just don’t leave it. Use it, then unplug it. Otherwise the steam sitting can cause issues.

Here's our final product review video for the Shark Lift-Away Pro Steam Pocket Mop: geni.us/jb00qAP [Amazon] Need extra mop covers? These after-market ones on Amazon are great: amzn.to/3dI8MlY Do you have a steam mop for cleaning?

[@sandrareed6733]

Just used the steam cleaner garment attachment to steam off old wallpaper. Works really well.

[@Floppycats]

oh wow - cool- thanks for the tip!

[@hhppecit]

Thanks a lot for a review which went into a great detail about the product 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Floppycats]

Glad it was helpful!! I still use this every week. Love this thing.

[@JamieAndrick]

Do you have to use distilled water? I use bleach on my white microfiber towels and set the cycle for an extra rinse.. The side hook that you don't know what its for, is for the cord so that it isn't dragging on the floor

[@Floppycats]

Yes, I would use distilled water if you want it to work long term. I still have mine 5 years later - and thank you on the side hook, I figured it out 5 years ago, thank goodness!

[@evalin5315]

Thank you for a detailed review! And I love your kitty! He is so cute and beautiful!!

[@Floppycats]

thank you. i still love this mop over 2.5 years later. it's really great - and i love i don't have to use chemicals to get a really good clean.

[@igorzacarias1865]

Great mop🌼 I love it so much! It cleans so well. I wish the cord was a tad longer, but that’s just me being picky. I like how you can flip the head over and use both sides of the cleaning pad, so you get double use. I do wish it would stand on its own though. It’s a small compact size which is great too.

[@Floppycats]

yes, standing on it's own would be rad. glad you like it though!

[@jeffzest8393]

Manual implies that reverse side just for steam blaster which occurs after leaning back on handle and then you flip back over for cleaning.

[@TheUberSchattenjager]

what a great real-world review! - just got it based on this video!

Very helpful, thanks.

[@jeffzest8393]

0:41 Thx. was not sure what to push...thought it would be button above...but now that pad removed, not sure how to put back on correctly. Four sides say insert but not sure where or what that means. Ok, got it, need to open it up like you did and insert when open. Some of us not to mechanically inclined. Will have to read on for purpose of of other two buttons. Appears the red is not a button but just a warning for hot steam. Not yet sure of use of button on body itself. Ok, that button to remove attachment. Appear need to do everything to hear click sound. At first, mop head would not flip over. Did not have it on right. Now need to find button that releases steam.

[@Floppycats]

did you get it sorted then?

[@jeffzest8393]

@@Floppycats Reading further in manual. Appears need to flip over pad until pad behind mop body and then till handle back and stream will come out automatically? From brochure, appears flipping over is just for steam blast, and once steam blast, you need to flip back over to continue cleaning. From your video, appeared you could use both sides of the pad for cleaning? Also appears that trigger is just for garments or appliances after detaching? Three uses for steam control button, high, low and stand by. Appears tools is not an option, it just comes on automatically when disengage for garments or appliances? Looks like you can disengage also to clean appliances but only in tools mode which means not on high and therefore not sanitized? These things basic once know, but at first learning curve. Now will watch video to see how you attached and used tools. Running commentary here.☺️ Usually dread setup because not too inclined in these areas. At first when assembled not even sure which direction rod should be inserted. Think it just goes one way. Need to finish watching video. Assume need to wash pads in cold water and air dry? Ok, manual says warm water, but does not talk about drying. Would assume must air dry. Was trying to learn from your video without really studying the manual, which at times is not exact; e.g., shape of water tank cap. Appreciate video!

[@Floppycats]

Do you need to keep pressing down on steam button? Thanks.

[@Floppycats]

yes, for it to keep going to that extreme - but it is constantly lightly steaming when you are mopping.

[@jeffzest8393]

@@Floppycats Just getting around to using. Appears steam button just for hand held use and need to reverse pad and lean back handle for steam blaster....no trigger needed.

[@cretnotonic]

That funny clip you weren't sure the purpose for is for the cord. I just bought this steamer based on your review. The clip holds your cord so it's not dragging on the floor near the mop head. Works great so far, but it ran out of steam very fast. Did you find that too? I live in a 522 sq ft place and had to fill it twice.

[@deboraharthur8986]

Can I wash the attachment for above floor cleaning in the washer?

[@Floppycats]

That's a question for Shark.

[@Mstanahinck]

The little hook is for the power cord. What botton did you hit to make the power steam jet come out of bottom? How long does it take to heat up? I waited 10 minutes thought it was broken.

[@Floppycats]

the big button. you have to hit in a few times - and then the heating will begin. i don't think it just heats up plugged in. but i do plug it in, press the button and then go do something for 5 minutes to give it time to heat up.

[@CP-gq7en]

Your grout is clean! How do you maintain it or clean it?

[@Floppycats]

I actually took a toothbrush to it years ago with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. here's the procedure i followed: "In a bowl, mix fresh hydrogen peroxide (you will get the best results using 35% hydrogen peroxide), baking soda and a few drops of Blue Dawn to form a thick paste. Using an old toothbrush, apply the paste to the grout and give it a good scrub. Allow to sit on the grout for a few minutes or until you achieve your desired results, then rinse very well." as found here: www.everydaycheapskate.com/using-hydrogen-peroxide-remove-stains/

[@jeffzest8393]

For the hand held, which is the cleaning side, the cloth like as with the other pads, or is it different in this case and the other side? Or both as you did with the dishwasher handle? Upon watching more, looks like you used both sides.

[@Floppycats]

it's different on each side.

I have the Shark Genius that is a more simple one just for the floors but it uses the same type of pad that the lift away does. To clean them I just use liquid detergent and one tide oxi pod and they look like new! You are not aloud to use bleach on them but stain removers are okay.

[@alicemel7074]

Do you still use this steamer and its attachments? Also did you notice if the mop cloth pick got dirtier more towards where the mop head connects or is the dirt pretty equal throughout the mop head? i would think that it looks like it connects more on the side rather than the middle of the mop head that it would only get really dirty to the one side due to the pressure being put on mostly that side.

[@Floppycats]

yes, i still use the steamer - love it! i don't really use the attachments - just the mopping ones. yes, one side of the mop rag gets dirtier because of the pressure - so it's that outside edge that stays cleaner because there isn't as much pressure there rather than the one closer to the unit, etc. does that make sense? i show it in this video too.

I want to use the upholstery part on a mattress. So instead of up and down in the air, I will be scrubbing over it like a horizontal iron? Is it safe to tip it forward and use it like an iron so to speak, on my mattress?

[@jeffzest8393]

@@Floppycats Before using, with hot steam, whether any protection is advisable. Probably wear gloves and eye protection and then remove if find not needed. For example, I have a spin scrubber that advises both due to potential for splashing liquids. Will be interesting to see how well the steam cleans tough areas without needing to scrub manually or with spin scrubber first. Also, need to check what can and cannot use the steam on. For example, I believe I read not to use in natural stone such as marble or ceramic like toilet, but then other sites said not a problem and that applies only to professional grade steam cleaners.

Hopefully my guard will fit the a new model. 🤞🏼 I did see how to take it apart on another video, but it looks very entailed to not be assured I will be able to fix it once apart.

Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.
