You should purchase a new cartridge mine did the smae thing.

---OR---

Before buying a new cartridge, you might try cleaning the inside of the mop head (if possible with your model). It seems that the smell results from gunk and such building up inside the head unit.

I have a Bissell Lift-Off Steam Mop. The mop head is a two-piece plastic unit held together by eight screws. Remove the eight screws and gently pull the two pieces of the head unit apart. The steam hose is clamped into the bottom piece by way of a plastic bridge and two more screws. Remove the screws and bridge. Inspect the bottom piece of the mop head and for dirt and other stinky things. Clean thoroughly (along with the upper piece of the mop head still attached to the mop. Let it all dry thoroughly and then reassemble in the opposite manner as you took it apart. Not counting for drying time, the whole process took me about 5-minutes. After a few seconds of steam, there was no more smell.

What are the best cleaning accessories on the market?

For cleaning products, Clorox and Lysol are the best I've found so far. They have multiple room-specific products, from the kitchen to the bathroom. Lysol and Clorox have been proven to disinfect and kill germs, to keep you and your family healthier. For cleaning items and accessories, the Bissell Steam Shot Handheld Steamer, and the Bissell Steam Mop Hardfloor Mop are both wonderful items. They both use heated water to make steam to clean and disinfect many surfaces throughout the home. Steam cleaners are a greener way to live and breathe healthier in your home and shrink your carbon footprint at the same time!
