Floor Cleaner Solutions & Supplies

Floor cleaning machines work best with the supplies made for them: the brand's formula, matching pads and fresh brush rolls. Using the wrong solution can cause foaming, residue or damage, and may affect warranty.

How to choose supplies

• Formulas: carpet cleaners and floor washers each use brand-specific solutions.
• Dilution: follow the label; more solution can leave sticky residue.
• Pads: steam mop pads are model-specific; keep spares.
• Brush rolls: replace when worn, matted or no longer cleaning well.
• Filters: floor washers have filters that need regular cleaning.
• Storage: keep solutions sealed and away from heat.
• Model numbers: check the machine label before ordering any part.

FAQs

Can I use any cleaning solution in my floor cleaner?

Use the solution recommended by your machine's manufacturer. Other products may foam, damage pumps or seals, leave residue or affect warranty. Follow the dilution on the label, and never mix different cleaners in the tank. If in doubt, plain water is usually the safest option where the manual allows it.

How often should I replace floor washer brush rolls?

Replace a brush roll when it becomes matted, worn, discolored or stops picking up well, or when the manufacturer suggests. Many owners replace them every several months with regular use. Rinsing and drying the roller after each use extends its life.

Can I make my own carpet cleaning solution?

Homemade mixtures can foam, leave residue or damage machines and carpets, and may affect warranty. Manufacturers design formulas to work with their machines. For best results and to protect your machine, use the recommended formula or plain water if allowed.
