Any recommendations on how to unblock a Shark steam mop please? I’ve tried a paper clip which does nothing. I’ve had rescaling solution in the water tank for 3 days now. When I turn it on it heats up, but only a couple of drops ever comes out, so still blocked. Has anyone taken one apart before? It’s long out of warranty so no worries in voiding that. Not sure what else to try before I accept it’s beyond repair. Thanks

I put vinegar in the tank. and keep pumping for steam. got a few more months put of it after that. obviously fill again with clean water and pump through clean water afterwards.

Might be worth contacting Shark & asking their advice even though it’s out of warranty

If you have put anything in it other than water it may be broken from the chemical build up
