detergents.
Cleaning agents containing benzine,
stain remover, etc., can damage
plastic parts.
When pre-treating textiles, make sure
that plastic parts do not come into
contact with the detergent.

Sorting mops, cleaning cloths,
etc.
Separate the mops, cleaning cloths
and pads.
Shake mops, cleaning cloths and
pads out well to get rid of coarse soil-
