- Compare how easy it is to buy the correct UK consumable.
- Read whether plain-water operation is permitted for your model and floor.
What this looks like at home
A useful dock feature becomes inconvenient if its required solution is difficult to source when the supplied bottle runs out.
Keep clean water, dirty water and dry dust separate
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Clean-water side | Use the permitted water and solution method. |
| Dirty-water side | Empty and clean the removable tank as directed. |
| Pads, roller and tray | Inspect, clean and dry only as the manual allows. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not substitute washing-up liquid or concentrated floor cleaner into an automatic dispenser.
