01

Preparatory work

  • Select suitable products to match the surface to be cleaned (type / square metres) and the type of soiling

  • Check, equip and ready the machine and all accessories in compliance with the instructions for use.

  • Fill the water tank of the machine with cleaning product in accordance with the dosing instructions.

  • Put up the warning sign. Cover vulnerable areas (e.g. skirting boards) as needed.

  • Remove any loose dirt (dust-binding mopping or dry vacuum cleaning).

Main task

  • Use the edge cleaning tool and a suitable pad to manually wet scrub along the edges.

  • Attach the scrubbing pad with the LS pad drive disc or the scrubbing brush to the LS single-brush machine.

  • Reverse or replace the pad when it gets dirty; continue with step 2 of the main task until the entire area is wet scrubbed.

  • Remove the dissolved dirt and the remaining cleaning solution with the wet vacuum cleaner (wet vacuuming) or use the sponge rubber floor squeegee to sweep the liquid into a floor drain (wiping off/pushing).
