The AquaWave ILAMOS JR by AquaWave is a compact steam mop designed for efficient cleaning of hard floor surfaces. This steam cleaner uses hot steam to soften and lift dirt and grime from sealed wood, tile, laminate and vinyl floors, reducing the need for chemical cleaners. Its lightweight construction and slim profile make it easy to maneuver for everyday cleaning and quick spot removal tasks around the home.
Advantages
The compact design offers easy handling and storage while providing the sanitizing effect of high-temperature steam. Because it relies on steam rather than detergents, the ILAMOS JR can clean and reduce bacteria on sealed surfaces without leaving chemical residues. The device heats up quickly and has a narrow cleaning head that helps reach tighter areas and corners.
Suitable for
- Sealed hardwood floors
- Ceramic and porcelain tiles
- Laminate flooring
- Vinyl and resilient flooring
- Quick spot cleaning in kitchens, hallways and bathrooms
When it may not be suitable
The AquaWave ILAMOS JR is not intended for unsealed or waxed wood, natural stone that may be heat-sensitive, delicate painted surfaces or fabrics. Steam can damage or warp porous, untreated wood and some types of stone; avoid use on surfaces that explicitly prohibit steam cleaning. For heavily soiled floors with ingrained grime, a preliminary manual cleaning may be required before steam treatment.

How to use
Fill the water tank with clean tap water according to the user manual, allow the unit to heat up until the ready indicator shows it is at working temperature, then pass the mop slowly over the floor to loosen dirt and sanitize the surface. For best results, move at a steady pace without lingering too long in one spot to avoid excess moisture on sensitive floors. Replace or wash the microfiber pad after use and allow the floor to dry before returning furniture to the area.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that your floor finish is sealed and rated for steam cleaning
- Consider the size of areas to clean and whether a compact unit meets your coverage needs
- Check availability of replacement pads and any accessory heads if required
- Review the user manual for water type recommendations and maintenance instructions
Usage recommendations
Use filtered or demineralized water if your area has hard water to reduce scale buildup. Test the steam mop on a small inconspicuous area before full use, and follow manufacturer guidelines for safe intervals between steam passes on sensitive floors.
