How Does The BGST1566 Work?

The BGST1566 is an easy to use steam cleaning solution for your business. To get started make sure the mop pad has been attached to the mop head. The quick-grip release tab should be located in the back. 

Filling The Water Tank

The BGST1566 cleans with just water. You can remove the water tank by lifting it straight up and away from the unit. Then simply unscrew the cap and fill the tank with room temperature water. Put the cap back on and slide the water tank back into place. 

Choosing Your Steam Level

Once the water tank is in place, uncoil the cord and plug it into a 120-volt outlet. The SmartSet Steam Select Indicator light will glow once the steam mop is ready to be used. You can use the Steam Lever button to choose the level of steam you would like to use. There are three levels: 

  • Low for delicate floors
  • Medium for regular cleaning
  • High for durable floors or sticky messes

How To Clean Your Floors with the BGST1566

Before you start cleaning, make sure to sweep and/or vacuum the floor. To sanitize a section of your floor you should place the steam mop over the spot for 15 seconds using a continuous stream. To clean dried-on sticky spots, you will want to use the scrubby pad on the stem mop. You can pres and lock the Easy Scrubber brush into place and then slowly move the mop head over the sticky spot to clean it. Once you are done cleaning, you can turn off the mop by pressing the Steam Level button until the indicator light is blue. Once the mop stops emitting steam you can unplug the unit and empty the water tank.
