A squeegee and suitable brushes or pads are required for wet cleaning of hard
floorings. The rotating brush scrubs the floor thoroughly, removing the dirt by means
of suds, thus cleaning the floor. The soiled water is drawn in during the same cycle
by means of the squeegee. This way the floor can be stepped on immediately
afterwards, it is dry and clean.

efficiency is improved, but wear of the brush will be substantially reduced at the
same time. If floors are particularly dirty or it wax has to be removed (basic cleaning).
The floor should be treated twice. During the first cycle, the floor is scrubbed with the
cleaning agent selected according to the degree of dirt encountered, the squeegee

then scrub the floor once again while the squeegee is lowered.
