Most mop vacs have a self-cleaning cycle that cleans the brush roll and rinses the inner components with clean water. Just like the dirty mop water from your floor, the dirty water from the self-cleaning cycle ends up in the machines dirty water tankand cleaning the dirty water tank is the absolute worst part of using a vaccum mop. But you can avoid pouring that filthy floor water down the sink drain by dumping it into the toilet, and you can avoid the sink altogether by installing a diaper/bidet sprayer, which you can get for about $20 on Amazon. You need zero plumbing skills maybe and one set of pliers to connect this handy little hose to the pipe that feeds (very clean) water into your toilet tank and you can use it to rinse all of your mop vac parts.
