Can I use my own cleaning solution in this mop's cartridge?

No the cartridge is sold in stores like BB&B or on Amazon. The cartridge is sealed, and when placed in receptical it punctures a tiny hole in lid allowing you to squirt through handle.

I am quessing that you can, I just don't know how productive it would be. The portion of the pad that hangs past the head of the mop won't have any support.

Hi, I met a Steam Mop rep in a home fair I attended. He advised that we use only DISTILLED Water. He said that our mop will last much longer is=f we use that. I am not sure what "purified water" is so just use distilled water and you will be fine. By the way, I love my mop!

I don't see why you can't as long as it doesn't plug up the nozzle. The one we own is a bit drippy so perhaps a thicker cleaning solution might work better!

Yes, the mop has to be wet. I do not use it in a dispensing mop. I squirt it directly onto the floor and use the wet mop to clean the area.

There is a cleaning fluid that should be used with the machine. Plain water can work but will not be as effective.

Yes, you can. It's possible of course you might get a lot of white dust depending on the water (distilled is always best) you fill it with but it will run without the cartridge.

Yes, you don't have to buy anything once you buy the mop. Except I would highly recommend distilled water! I've looked at the reviews from all the other mops and none of them looked like I would like them as much as this one. Hope this helps!

not on it's own- I have no idea if you could create a formula though. It's bubbles too much for machines. Vinegar would reduce the bubbles- but I wouldn't try it without some sort of recipe. BioKleen and Seventh Generation are good brands for machines. For more info on making your own cleaning recipes- I love the book Clean and Green. It talks about recipes you can make for the washing machine and dish washer- but while all her other formulas are 1. Cheaper than the store bought, 2. Better at cleaning, and 3. Safer for the the environment than store purchased cleaners- she says herself that the recipes for the washing machine and dish washer are at best equal to Seventh Gen or BioKleen. I agree. So- for all purpose, bathroom, floors, and everything else where you would buy a bottle- I prefer the homemades- and use this as one of the ingredients- but for the machines- I just buy one of the environmentally friendly brands, made for machines.

Nope, nothing else. Once you put the cartridge in, the printer will begin self cleaning.

My opinion is No. I had the Clean and Renew system on my last Braun razor. It was convenient and made the razor smell nice, but the cleaning cartridges cost money every month. I'm finding it extremely easy to use the tap, brush and rinse in sink method.

I have never used any cleaners in my unit, but I don't see why you could not since there is an optional disinfecting product available. See the comment about diluting the cleaner, though. I think it would need to be very diluted in order to not clog the steam holes.

to be perfectly honest with you, I haven't tried it so I would not know. However, I can tell you that to truly get the value of this cleaning solution, I would recommend you use a cleaning station.

No you do not have buy a new mop handle it will fit on the original one. This pad is used with the bona refresher floor polish

No - you add it to a small container attached to, but not part of, the water reservoir. Don't know anything about the steam mop. Check the owners manual for that appliance and check the cleaner solution bottle for instructions.
