IMPORTANT:
Do not use on unsealed wood or
unglazed ceramic floors. Do not use on wood or
tile floors that are highly worn, unfinished or have
a wax or oil finish. Surfaces that have been treated
with wax or some no wax floors may be damaged by
the cleaning and polishing solutions therefore it is
always recommended to test an isolated area of the
surface to be cleaned or polished before proceeding.
You should check the use and care instructions from
the floor manufacturer before cleaning or polishing.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use more than one brand of
floor polish to polish one room. Use only
Shark
®
Wood & Hard Floor Polish.

Use the
Shark
®
Sonic Duo
™
Floor Cleaner
to
spread the polish evenly over the floor. Do not go
over an applied area too frequently. Always leave
an area looking wet. If a section begins to look dry
while polishing, add more Wood & Hard Floor Polish
to the area. Repeat until the whole area has been
polished.

When going from section to section, do not lift the
Shark
®
Sonic Duo
™
Floor Cleaner
to move it,
always slide it to the next section. No rinsing is
required.

Allow the Wood & Hard Floor Polish to dry for at
least 1 hour in light traffic areas and a complete 24
hours for the polish to cure before returning to heavy
traffic areas.

floors sustain,
Shark
®
recommends polishing every
2 months. Touch up high traffic areas as needed
in-between full floor polishes.
Polishing Your Hard Floors:
1
Vacuum the floor to remove all loose dirt, dust
and grit from the floor surface. For best results,
we recommend that you clean the floor using the
Shark
®
Wood & Hard Floor Cleaner first and allow
time to dry before polishing.
2
Attach the Hard Floor Polishing Pad to the bottom of
the
Shark
®
Sonic Duo
™
Floor Cleaner
. This pad
has an “Orange” trim and the “Orange” tag says
“Hard Floor Polishing Pad”.
