katilac Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 We bought a steam mop on clearance ages ago and just looked at it đ It doesn't seem to have the floor protector, and all my googling is not telling me what it is made of or even looks like. So, what does it seem to be made of, what do you think I can use as a substitute? My first instinct is just to put down a towel, but I'm the person who didn't open the box for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 You can make the pads out of towels, microfiber clothes, and some knit them. Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says, Always place your steam cleaner on the Floor Protector/Resting Mat when not in use. And then to place it on the cleaning pad when hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhawk Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 oh, oops.. it says that?

Kebo Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 You could cover a piece of cardboard (or something similar and heat tolerant) on all sides with aluminum foil.  The floor protector I have is a molded tray made of some sort of semi-rigid foam. I just leave my steamer sitting on tile, too.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
