Can you put Pine Sol in a BISSELL steam mop?
No, you should not put Pine Sol in a BISSELL steam mop. BISSELL recommends you fill the tank with cold, clean water and use an approved BISSELL formula for all steam mop cleaning. Using products that are not approved by BISSELL can damage your steam mop and void the warranty.

How do you make a steam mop solution?
Making a steam mop solution is a simple and affordable way to clean your hard surfaces. First, gather your supplies. You will need a spray bottle, an empty bottle for mixing, ¼ cup of white vinegar, 2 cups of warm water, ½ teaspoon of dishwashing liquid, and a few drops of anything from essential oils to lemon juice for scent.

These cleaners are often sold in the same store you purchased your vacuum cleaner. You should avoid using any cleaners that contain solvents, abrasives, or bleach. These cleaners can damage your vacuum cleaner and may void your warranty.
Additionally, you should also avoid using homemade cleaning solutions or solutions that contain scented oils, as these may not only damage your vacuum but could present a fire hazard as well.
What can I use in my Bissell PowerFresh steam mop?
You can use a number of different items in your Bissell PowerFresh steam mop. First, you should use the PowerFresh Microfiber Cleaning Pad and directly attach it to the mop. This pad is designed to loosen and lift debris while it is steam-activated, providing a deep clean.
After using the mop, you should remove the pad and replace it with a Wet/Dry Disc. This disc should be attached so that it spins on contact with the floor, allowing it to further remove debris and pick up loose dirt.
For heavily stuck-on debris or grime, you can use either the Metal Shane Brush or the Soft Grout Brush. These attachments can be attached to the mop head and allow you to scrub the surface, using the steam-activated cleaning power of the PowerFresh.
Finally, for tough soap scum or mineral deposits, you can use the Bristle Brush and attach it to the mop head. This allows you to easily remove soap scum and mineral deposit build up.
Do I have to use BISSELL solution?

Making your own cleaner solution can be cost effective, as well as being tailored to your own needs. When making your own cleaning solution, use a mild soap or detergent mixed with warm water and add a few drops of essential oil for added fragrance.
Be sure to check your machine manual for any specific cleaning recommendations.
What can I put in my steam mop to smell nice?
Adding a pleasant smell to your steam mop is a great way to freshen up your living space without toxic chemicals. There are a few ways to infuse your steam mop with a nice smell.
If you have essential oils, add 8-10 drops to a small bowl of water and pour it into the water tank of the steam mop before use. Different combination of oils can create unique smells and you can refill the tank with a fresh batch of the fragrant solution when needed.
Another way to add a pleasant smell to your steam mop is to add a capful of your favorite fabric softener to the water tank. You can also prepare a solution of warm water, a tablespoon of white vinegar and scented liquid dish soap and pour it into the steam mop.
You could even add dried herbs or citrus peels to the water tank for a more natural approach to the scented steam.
Whichever way you choose to scent your steam mop, the smell should be released each time you use the machine.
Why does my Bissell CrossWave leaving streaks?
When you are using your Bissell CrossWave, it is possible that streaks may form as a result of mineral deposits that have built up from hard water. This can be due to the fact that the rollers, brushes and cleaner have not been changed for a few uses, or that you have not followed the cleaning instructions correctly.
To prevent streaks from forming in the future, make sure you are using the correct cleaning solution and follow the instructions carefully. Additionally, it is also recommended that you change the rollers, brushes and cleaner every few uses to ensure that your CrossWave is performing at its best.
If streaks still appear after these steps, it is possible that there is a buildup of debris in the unit, so it’s important to deep clean the CrossWave regularly to prevent further streaks.
