linoleum floors, pre-treat with a mild  
detergent and some water before using the

Ultra-Microfiber Pads for HAAN® Steam Cleaners  
What is an Ultra-Microfiber?  
An Ultra-Microfiber is a textile fiber that is thinner and more absorbent than a micro-  
fiber (1.0dtex) pad typically used with steam mops. Specifically, to be defined as an  
Ultra-Microfiber, it should be less than 0.2dtex. The Ultra-Microfiber Pad by HAAN  
Corporation is made of .17dtex Ultra-Microfibers.  
How to Use Ultra-Microfiber Pads  
1.  
2.  
Please make sure that a completely dry pad is used.  
As high temperature steam passes through a pad to contact the floor  
to kill germs, molds, mites and to provide a certain amount of water  
necessary for cleaning, it is natural that the pad gradually absorbs  
moisture. After a certain length of time, the pad repels water and  
becomes damp.  
3.  
4.  
To keep the floor clean and dry, replace the pad when it is dirty.  
Only remove pad from unit when not in use and steam is not being  
emitted.  
How to Clean and Store  
1.  
Hand wash or machine wash the Ultra-Microfiber Pad in cold water  
on the delicate cycle with a mild detergent. (Do not use a  
fabric softener)  
2.  
3.  
Using a washing machine may shorten the lifespan of the pads.  
We recommend air drying the Ultra-Microfiber Pad for 24 hours, but  
they could be dried in a dryer on a low heat setting.

Commonly Asked Questions  
Q: Can the HAAN® Steam Cleaner be used on laminate flooring?  
A: Yes. Your steam cleaner was designed to be gentle on delicate flooring, yet power-  
ful enough to penetrate stains and kill harmful germs and bacteria.  
It is recommended that the flooring manufacturer be contacted to see if it is OK to  
clean the floor with steam. Leaving the steam mop sitting in one spot while steaming  
could result in discoloration of flooring.  
Q: How long can an Ultra-Microfiber Pad be used until it needs to be changed?  
A: The pad should be changed every 10 minutes, or when it becomes saturated with  
water. The unit will become harder to push with a overly wet pad.  
Q: How long does a tank of water last?  
A: A full tank will last approximately 20-25 minutes.  
Q: Sometimes my steam cleaner becomes hard to push - why?  
A: If the unit is hard to push its likely because the Ultra-Microfiber Pad is too wet or  
the angle at which you are using the machine is too high.  
Q: How do you use the Carpet Glide for my carpet?  
A: The carpet glide is to be used without the Ultra-Microfiber Pad and can be attached  
directly to the unit.  
Q: Does the HAAN® work on pet stains?  
A: Yes, the HAAN® is able to spot clean fresh pet stains by loosening and lifting the  
stain.  
Q: How can I prolong the life of my HAAN®  
?
A: To maintain the life of your unit, we recommend using the Fresh Rinse™ once a  
month.  
Q: Will the HAAN® Steam Cleaner clean grout?  
A: Yes, but it needs a little help. If you glide your HAAN® over the problem areas and  
then scrub with your Ultra-Microfiber Pad, it should effectively clean your grout. How-  
ever, it will not remove discoloation as this has been absorbed into the grout.
