when do we use the wash cycle - while we are cleaning or after rug is completely done?

I used the water cycle after I had cleaned a section of the carpet so that I would not have to walk on the part of the carpet that was wet. This seems to work fine and you can watch the water that is being sucked up by your machine to see when the water is clean and without soap in it. Then stop and go to another section of your carpet.

I use the wash cycle at the beginning of cleaning my carpets, followed by a rinse cycle after the shampooing is done. I will usually do one cycle of each, unless an area is SUPER soiled. Then I will do two wash cycles (make sure to soak up excess water between each wash and each rinse cycle to keep the carpets from getting over-soaked) and then two rinse cycles. This seems to work as my carpets are AMAZINGLY clean.....even cleaner than with the "professional" rented machines out there!!!

I have a new washing machine that spins like crazy. So my rugs were just damp. They dried in 24 hours in Basement. Maybe a 2nd spin/evacuate water sequence could help you?

I usually wash mine with a load of cleaning rags or small rugs in hot water, no bleach. Do not put in the dryer. I have an HE washer, don't know if that makes a difference, but they come out clean and ready to reuse.

Yes, you definitely should vacuum prior to cleaning the carpet. It was still pretty full of dog hair and carpet fibers (new wool rug was still shedding). It wasn't hard to clean, several parts to take off and rinse but not hard to put back together.

I do. But, I also put delicate in net washing bag first and set the timer for 3 to 5 mins. Am very VERY happy with the Panda washer. I got the panda just for that reason I wash alot of delicates and white tops and I dont care to use my large washer for one or two things.I also found after useing the panda my washer is not cleaning very well. time for a new one I guess. Happy in wssh. May Green.

Wash in cold water, no detergent. Instruction says you must wash at least once to activate absorbency. It's the pits to dry in dryer. I had to clean out the dryer thoroughly and still found little hidden piles the next week. My guess is that hosing and turning the mat frequently while hosing MAY work but I don't have direct experience. Good luck

My husband uses his after his shower while sitting in the reclinerwatching TV or reading. As of this time I have not had to cleanit as it has not shown any marks of use or dirt. When the time comes I will use a wet cloth & mild soap to wash. I do not thinkit would be wise to machine wash !!

With a damp rag after normal use. Every so often, we use a mild cleaner like Windex on it.

There is no filter to wash. Just pull the filter conpartment off the vacuum, press a button and empty. Vacuum has great suction and picks up everyday dirt. Use in any room of the house - hardwood or carpet.

I wash the carpet the first time with hot water and much less soap than they recommend and then I go over the carpet once more quickly with just hot water to pull up any soap residue and more dirt. It works really well and the carpet stay clean longer because their is no soap residue, that's your downfall. Hope this helps, I've been doing it that way for many years.

I wash it in the laundry room sink. Discard any poop with poop bag. I rinse mat with watm water to remove excess urine. Then plug the sink and fill 2" with hot water and add laundry detergent. Any cheappy brand. Let soak while I do a chore. Rinse off thoroughly. Hold on side to let excess water drip(rolled up). Then lay grass side up on top of rag on top of washing machine to air dry. I have a few grass pieces to alternate. The dogs dont do their business on a wet pad. I put wee wee pads under grass to hasten clean up time. The grass keeps it consistent with outdoor pottying.

I normally vac first and then use the wash function to clean the floor. It will also pick up dirt when it's in the wash mode but it will create a mess in the reserve tank and clog the filter. It does a decent job on my tile floors.

Depends on how dirty your floor is - I do tend to rinse and reuse. If it is a room I mop a lot, not big, or doesn't have much foot traffic, I don't need to rinse.

Use a feminine wash and wash cloth to clean the unit after each use. This has worked extremely well for me...

If you want to sanitize the surface it is recommended you hold down the trigger continuously but not needed just to clean. Also, I notice I am picking up the dirt if steaming and dries within seconds vs pushing dirty water around and wiping up.

I clean it after each daiy use - the area I use it on is kitchen, dining area, lg foyer, laundry area and bathrooms. I bought a second pad in case there might days that the tiles were extra badly soiled.

We have soaked it in oxy-clean, and it comes out clean and ready for use. I believe you could use the gentle cycle without a problem. I just did not want to wash it in the washing machine too often, in case it weakened the product--not to say that it would. I just did not want to chance it. Love the mop and bucket, easy to use, and comes clean without much work.
