Using your floor scrubber & polisher with
Vac on various floor types
DO NOT USE ON CARPET
Take care not to slip over when polishing floors,
they can become very slippy in the process.
Only use dedicated floor products; other
inappropriate polishes and waxes may leave
the floor dangerously slippy.
In addition to your floor polisher you may need
a mop and bucket to clean and polish your
hard floor.
Cleaning hard floors with heavy soiling
• Use the brush heads with the vacuum
function (switch to position II), to pick up the
dry dust and loosen dried on dirt.
• Take care not to scratch the floor if hard dirt
gets stuck to the brush heads.
Spreading floor treatments
• Always read and follow manufacturer’s
instructions for floor treatment products.
• Apply the treatment directly to the floor unless
instructions indicate otherwise.
The recommended polish is Ewbank Gloss
Floor Polish (FP555) of which a sample is
supplied and available from Ewbank stockists.
Polishing wax on hard floors
• Once the wax polish has dried on the floor
use the blue buffing pads to polish.
• Switch to position I, keep the polishing head
moving, don’t stop in one place for a long time
or it will spoil the finish.
• Move at a speed of about 1 minute every 1m 2
and follow the diagram for an even finish
(Fig.8).
• A glossy finish is not always possible; this
depends on the wax or polish used and the
type of floor. Sometimes several coats of
polish will help to get a glossy finish.
