and sealed wood. Scooba is not recommended for use on unfinished or unsealed hard floor surfaces,
carpet, rugs or waxed floors. Scooba is not intended for use on laminate flooring, which may be
damaged by wet cleaning methods.

Filling the tank

then add one full sample packet or ½ capful
of Scooba Hard Floor Cleaner.

For Best Performance
• Remove clutter and lightweight rugs from area to be cleaned.
• Always empty and rinse both tanks after the cleaning cycle is complete.
(See Instructions for use section.)
• Keep wheels, brushes and squeegee free from hair and debris by inspecting and cleaning the
wheels and bottom plate after each use.
• To protect bottom plate brushes, keep Scooba on storage mat, when not in use.
