Steamop: Can You Skip The Fragrance Disc?

The fragrance discs for steam mops are designed to leave a fresh, clean scent as you clean. They are compatible with specific Bissell Powerfresh and Symphony models. However, the use of these fragrance discs is entirely optional, and some customers choose to discard them to avoid chemicals and strong scents. The discs can also be reused a few times by removing them from the mop pad after use and storing them in a zip bag. Alternatively, a few drops of essential oil can be added to the mop pad for fragrance.

The fragrance discs can be reused multiple times

The fragrance discs for the Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop can be reused multiple times. The discs are designed to be placed in the mop pad, and the steam then disperses the fragrance into the air. While some users have reported that the discs only have a strong fragrance for one use, others have found that they can be reused multiple times, depending on the size of the area being mopped. To reuse the discs, it is important to remember to remove them from the mop pad before washing, as washing the disc will reduce its scent.

One way to extend the life of the fragrance discs is to cut them in half or into quarters. This reduces the strength of the fragrance, which some users have reported to be too strong when using a full disc. By cutting the discs into smaller pieces, users can control the strength of the fragrance and extend the life of the disc.

Another way to reuse the discs is to store them in a zip bag between uses. This helps to preserve the fragrance and allows users to get multiple uses out of one disc. Some users have reported getting up to 4-5 uses out of one disc by storing it in a zip bag.

Additionally, users can explore alternative ways to fragrance their mops. One suggestion is to use essential oils instead of the fragrance discs. By placing a few drops of essential oil on the inside of the mop pad before attaching it, users can achieve a similar fragrance effect without using the discs. However, it is important to note that essential oils should never be added directly to the water tank, as this can damage the machine and void the warranty.

The discs can be cut in half to make them last longer

The fragrance discs for the Bissell PowerFresh Steam Mop are reported to be quite strong. Users have found that cutting the discs in half makes the fragrance more bearable and prolongs the use of the discs. One user reported that they cut the discs in half, and it takes 4-5 uses before they need to throw away half a disc and start with a new one. Another user reported that they cut the discs into quarters.

Cutting the discs in half is a good way to make the package last longer, but it is not the only way. Users have also reported that the discs can be used multiple times if you remember to take them out of the mop pad before throwing it in the wash. The exact number of uses will depend on the size of the area you are mopping. The fragrance does get weaker with each use.

If you are looking for an alternative way to fragrance your steam mop, you can add a couple of drops of your favourite essential oil to the inside of the mop pad. However, it is important to never put essential oil or anything other than distilled water into the water tank, as this can ruin the machine and void the warranty.

The discs are not essential and can be discarded

The fragrance discs are not essential to the function of your steam mop and can be discarded if you so wish. Some people choose not to use the fragrance discs because they prefer not to have a scent when cleaning, or because they are trying to avoid chemicals.

If you do choose to use the discs, you can cut them in half to make them last longer and to reduce the strength of the fragrance. You can also use essential oils instead of the discs, by putting a few drops on the inside of the mop pad. However, it is important to never put essential oils or anything other than distilled water into the water tank, as this can ruin the machine and void the warranty.

The scent of the discs is strong and pleasant

The scent of the fragrance discs is strong and pleasant. The Spring Breeze fragrance discs by Bissell, for instance, have received positive reviews for their scent. Customers have described the scent as "nice", "pleasant", "fresh", and "clean".

However, some customers have found the scent to be too strong. One customer has suggested cutting the discs in half to reduce the intensity of the fragrance. Another customer has mentioned that the scent only lasts for one use.

The Maitys 24-piece replacement steam mop scent discs come in four different fragrances: lemon, citrus, lavender, and cherry blossom. These discs have received mixed reviews for their scent. While some customers have found the scent to be pleasant, others have said that the discs have little to no scent.

Overall, the scent of the fragrance discs seems to be subjective, with some people finding it strong and pleasant, while others find it too strong or not fragrant enough.

The discs are not durable and disintegrate quickly

The durability of the fragrance discs varies according to different users. Some customers have mentioned that the discs are durable and hold their shape without crumbling. However, others have stated that the discs disintegrate quickly and start falling apart almost immediately.

Some customers have reported that the discs can be reused multiple times before discarding, while others have mentioned that the discs only last for one or two uses. There are also reports of the discs losing their scent over time, with some customers noticing a decrease in fragrance after a few uses.

To extend the life of the fragrance discs, some customers have suggested cutting the discs in half or into quarters. This allows for more uses and helps to make the discs last longer. However, even with this method, some customers have reported that the discs still do not last long and need to be replaced frequently.

Overall, while some customers have found the discs to be durable and long-lasting, others have experienced issues with the discs disintegrating quickly and not lasting for multiple uses.
