Using your Ewbank ® Floor Scrubber &
Polisher on various floor types
DO NOT USE ON CARPET
Take care not to slip over when polishing floors,
they can become very slippery in the process.
Only use dedicated floor products; other
inappropriate polishes and waxes may leave
the floor dangerously slippery.
Do not leave the product operating in one area
for a prolonged period of time as this may
damage your floor.
You may need a mop and bucket to clean and
prepare your hard floor, prior to polishing with
your floor polisher.
Cleaning hard floors with heavy soiling
• Use the brush heads to loosen dried-on dirt.
• Take care not to scratch the floor if hard dirt
gets stuck to the brush heads.
Applying 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.
Tips for polishing wax on hard floors
• Once the wax polish has dried on the floor
use the blue buffing pads to polish.
• 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.7).
• 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.
