Cleaning Your Hard Floors:

1
To remove the Reusable Bottle, hold it and pull it up
to remove from the unit. (Fig. 22)
2
Remove the "Green" bottle cap. Add 1 part of the
Sonic Activated Wood & Hard Floor Cleaner solution
to 7 parts water into the Reusable Bottle. Use the
measuring marks on the Reusable Bottle for easy
measuring and filling. (Fig. 23) Always fill with
cold water first up to the "Water Fill Line"
and then add the cleaning solution up to the
"Solution Fill Line" to avoid foaming and to
ensure accuracy.
3
Screw the bottle cap on tightly and insert the
Reusable Bottle into the unit upside down. Push it
down to make sure that it is well inserted. You will
hear an audible "Click" when the Reusable Bottle is
inserted properly. (Fig. 24)
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 before proceeding. You should always
check the use and care instructions from the floor
manufacturer.

the leftover cloudiness is removed. If this does not
work, we suggest rinsing the floor with water and
letting it dry. One or more rinses generally removes
the residue. A more stubborn case may require you
to rinse the floor with a mix of one part vinegar to
2 parts water. Then use the Shark Sonic Duo

Floor Cleaner again with a clean pad.
