Wet scrubbing – manual, using a pad (attached to a cleaning tool)

Remove heavy, stubborn dirt or protective coatings from floor and wall coverings using a pad attached to an edge-cleaning or handheld cleaning tool. Apply the cleaning solution and allow it to take effect. Then wet scrub the surface using the pad. Rinse off or remove the dirty cleaning solution, e.g. by vacuuming it up with a wet vacuum cleaner, pushing it away with a foam rubber squeegee or removing it with a window squeegee.

Suitable for water-resistant, smooth and lightly textured surfaces.
