I've owned one of these for about 6 months now. Unfortunately it appears to have stuck to my sealed concrete floor. Any ideas on how to clean/remove?

Not exactly sure how to get it up from the concrete. I would think maybe using a sort of wet solution to remove it safely without harming the floor but also maybe next time use a rubber cabinet liner underneith the mat so it stays secure but won't Stick to the floor.

So I just got one this week and mine had a very strong smell, so much so that it's in another room hoping to get rid of it... It has the rubber smell that the floor of a gym has which makes me think it's not going to go away. Not sure if I want to wait it out or return it at this point.

I just take it out and wipe it off with a damp cloth. It comes right off. Nothing wants to stick to it. I love mine. Good luck.

I haven't used it enough to know this problem. I suggest to try a little ammonia. Again I am not sure this is something that was suggested to me due to tile flooring losing it's shine. It just might help with the clog.

Not too sure but if it is sticking it may have something either stuck in it or soap build-up or some thing similar....maybe running some draino through it or a strong vinegar/water solution in very hot water...if that doesn't work I think the stopper can be unscrewed out of the assembly....I can't remember for sure though....sorry I wasn't more help...good luck.

take old tooth brush and brush it off :) but for future, when and WHEN/if the adhesive stops working, i'll be adding some sticky glue to it. The ones you buy in office depot are awesome for this. p.s the adhesive still works. I had the pad for over a 8 months now

Probably just soap and water and let it sit for a while. I've not had any issues with the floor it cleans well. You could also try taking it outside and hosing it off. My yorkie loves his "condo".

It's adhered via a sticky pad. So you would just pull it off and then use something like googone to removed any sticky residue. The sticky pad is a one use only deal and it's very strong!!

I had the same problem. I tried to remove it as they showed in the commercial but I ended up breaking it. :-( Too bad because this really is the best mop I have ever used. Very easy to use.

I had that problem time to time after the first few years. An easy solution is, while it's on and seems to be stuck, pick it up straight out of the water and shake it side to side and front to back for about 15 seconds and place it back in the water. Hope this helps!

check to see if steam is coming out, should be easy enough with some effort on a shiny smooth floor, might be a little rougher if on a floor that has an upraised pattern. ive never had trbl with ours but our floors are smooth.

I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly. If I remember correctly, there is a large button above the dirty water tank that will push down allowing you to pull the dirty water tank out. You would replace it by sliding it back into place allowing the button to click to a locked position. For exact instructions, see the instruction manual that came with your floormate. It has easy to follow instructions.

Probably contact the manufacturer. I've had mine for years and haven't had that problem, but if I did, that is what I would do.

I've tried to remove it but without luck. So ive had to clean it with a sponge. Not as efficient.

Use a swifter so you don't have to lean in and on the flooring (a Lysol wipe on a yardstick probably would work better). Be sure to let it dry completely.

remove the carpet attachment with the screwdriver and replace it with the bare floor tool. you will be able to tell which part to remove, it looks similar to the replacement part.

It sounds silly, but did you make sure the knob was turned all the way from "tools" to "floor cleaning"? Maybe the knob just needs to be moved back and forth to make sure it is all the way to flor. I have found that it is really important to clean it thoroughly after using so the old dirt doesn't clogg It up. I still love mine.
