Know the floor type

Machines designed for sealed hard floors may not suit every wood, laminate or textured surface.

Tank hygiene matters

Dirty-water tanks and rollers should be cleaned and dried as the manufacturer directs.

Consumable cost

Rollers, pads and proprietary cleaning solution can affect long-term cost.

Do not use unapproved chemicals

Follow the machine maker’s solution requirements rather than experimenting with household mixtures.

General consumer information only. Do not mix cleaning chemicals or improvise electrical, chimney, high-access, pressurized, drain or other safety-critical work. Follow Canadian product labels, recall notices and the exact manufacturer’s instructions.
