Sweep and Mop Modes
Mint Plus sweeps and mops hard surface oors using readily available
dry and wet cleaning cloths or the included reusable microber cloths.
Mint Plus is not a vaccum and is not intended for use on carpets.
Sweep Mode
Sweep mode is intended for cleaning with a dry cloth.
In sweep mode, Mint Plus moves ahead
in a straight line when it begins cleaning,
then cleans back and forth in parallel
lines.
It is ideal for picking up dust, dirt and
hair to maintain clean, grit-free oors
every day.
Mop Mode
Mop mode is intended for cleaning with a wet cloth.
In mop mode, Mint Plus drives forward
a short distance to one side, backs up
slightly then moves forward to the other
side, alternating to the left and right as
it progresses.
This mopping action helps dissolve
and pick up the deeper dirt and grime
on your oors.
Mint Plus automatically adjusts to a
smaller cleaning area in mop mode to
optimize cleaning while the cloth is wet.
Tip: Start with dry sweep mode to pick up surface grit and then follow
with a wet cloth in mopping mode to get a deeper clean.
