Select the appropriate cleaning chemical: Determine the type of floor contaminant you will be cleaning and select the appropriate cleaning chemical(Required)
Dilute the cleaning chemical: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to dilute the cleaning chemical to the appropriate strength(Required)
Fill the iMop with the cleaning solution: Pour the diluted cleaning solution into the iMop's solution tank(Required)
Start cleaning: Push the iMop forward to start cleaning. Make sure to overlap your cleaning passes slightly to ensure thorough coverage(Required)
Finish cleaning: Once you have cleaned the entire area, turn off the iMop and rinse the floor with clean water if necessary(Required)
Clean and store the iMop: Empty the solution tank and clean the iMop instructions. Store the iMop upright and not lying down(Required)

Determining the correct chemical

Neutral cleaners: These are typically used for routine cleaning of floors that are not heavily soiled. They have a pH level of 7 and are safe for use on most floor surfaces.(Required)
Acidic cleaners: These are used to remove mineral deposits, rust, and other tough stains. They have a pH level below 7 and should be used on acid-resistant surfaces such as concrete, tile, and grout.(Required)
Alkaline cleaners: These are used to remove grease, oil, and other organic materials. They have a pH level above 7 and should be used on alkaline-resistant surfaces such as vinyl, linoleum, and some types of stone.(Required)

Safety concerns

Wet floors can be slippery and increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls. It is important to ensure that the floors are dry and safe for use before allowing foot traffic to resume and removing the wet floor sign(Required)
The use of cleaning chemicals can pose a risk of chemical exposure to the skin, eyes, or respiratory system. It is important to use chemicals appropriate to the level of soiling.(Required)
Pushing or pulling heavy cleaning equipment such as the iMop can increase the risk of manual handling injuries such as strains, sprains, and back injuries as well as damage the machine(Required)

What's the difference between scrubbing brushes and scrubbing pads

In general, brushes are more effective at removing heavy soil or stains, while pads are more effective at cleaning and polishing surfaces to a high shine. However, the choice of whether to use a brush or a pad on an iMop depends on the type of surface being cleaned, the degree of soiling, and the desired level of cleaning.(Required)

Determining the correct scrubbing pad or brush

Black pads: Black pads are used for stripping floors and removing old wax or finish. They are designed to be very aggressive and are made of a coarse material that can remove multiple layers of wax or finish at once(Required)
Green pads: Green pads are used for heavy-duty scrubbing of floors that have been heavily soiled with grease or grime. They are typically made of a tough, heavy-duty material and are more abrasive than blue pads(Required)
Blue pads: Blue pads are typically used for heavy-duty scrubbing of floors. They are designed to remove tough dirt, scuff marks, and other stubborn stains from hard surfaces such as concrete or tile. Blue pads are usually made of a coarse material and are more abrasive than other pad types(Required)
Red pads: Red pads are designed for general-purpose cleaning and light scrubbing. They are often used to clean floors that are not heavily soiled or for routine maintenance cleaning. Red pads are less abrasive than blue pads and are suitable for use on a wide range of surfaces, including wood, vinyl, and tile(Required)
White pads: White pads are designed for polishing and buffing floors. They are used to remove light scuff marks and to restore shine to hard surfaces. White pads are less abrasive than other pad types and are often used with a polishing compound to achieve a high-gloss finish(Required)
Hard bristle brushes: Hard bristle brushes are typically used for deep cleaning or restoration cleaning, and are highly effective at removing heavy soil or stains.(Required)
Soft Bristle brushes: Soft bristle brushes are typically used for regular maintenance cleaning, and are not as effective at removing heavy soil or stains as hard bristle brushes.(Required)
