How does Scooba know what you put in the cleaning tank? Does anyone know how it can tell the difference between Clorox and another brand, or Clorox and plain water?

On the i-robot website they said that the solution must have a certain electrical conductivity to work correctly (water would not work). They suggested white vinegar and water as an alternative (provided its safte for you floors)

Other "septic safe" powders used to clog our constantly clog our septic system. Since we switched to Charlie's soap we have had much less cloging issues with the septic. I would say about 3/4 less septic issues. Also I do believe the regular size can is labeled septic safe. Additionally, this soap leaves our front loader free of that disgusting film left behind by other leading brands.

I use IRobot Scooba cleaner with water. I use 1 cap full of solution and the rest water. It does a great job on my floors.

This product is for the treatment tht you put in every tank, I believe the manufacturer has another product that is meant to be a cleaner?

Hi Pat, I have no idea whats inside that bottle but it sure smells toxic, that's why I wrote what I thought to be humorous "Don't drink!"I will say this it does seem to work, I think my softener cycles a bit less often. And by the way I believe Norm is correct the Iron out will do the same thing, but as always I'm sure the people from ResCare would say their stuff is the best. Give it heck, Dennis

This model has two tanks. One for hot water/additive, and one for the dirty water pickup. Filling the tank and cleaning is much easier now!

We have had the tank just over a month and haven't had to clean it. There is a film of calcium build up on the outside because there is a little water that splashes out. Even tho we condition the water before adding. We have really hard water. We just have to add water every few days. Compared to our old tetra tank? Love it!

Hi Andrea, I could not find a manufacturer's label on the ozonator. I believe it is a personal product of a Dr. Katz ( I think thats his name ) if not, its the Dr. on the label. That being said, I'm quite happy with the product and consider it a good buy. Hope this helped. Greg

plain or distilled water for the majority of cleanimg, or a 70-91% Isopropyl alcohol for the rubber around the seal to clean off skin oils Depending on what you need to clean. Don't use anything that will attack the plastic. Plain water for the face shield, high pressure air for the nook and crannies. Also be sure not to over use the filters and make sure you get the correct ones for what you are srpaying. Don't use any car cleaning products for plastics. maybe the clorox wipe pads, but make sure to test and if no rash appears on your skin, it likely will be ok. I say this as when you have it on you don't want any vapors being trapped in there with your face and eyes. Any other perto based cleaner may attack the plastic, ie break down the polymers and them the seal fails. Worse case buy a new mask and ask is the health of my eyes and lungs worth the cost?

XO has a very pleasant smell and I love it. I don't actually measure amounts. I have a squirt bottle which I pour some XO in, then add water, if it smells to strong I add a little more water, to weak, add a little more XO. Works for me every time. Have not used with a cleaner.

There are two separate tanks on the machine...one for cleaning solution the other for collection of the water used on the floor. The clean water is never in contact with the dirty water.

Hi again Robin,Can you give any advice on how you used the steamer to clean your tub? I just finally tried mine out last night and it didn't really lift off the soap scum. Maybe it was just too much scum for it to handle?Also, it left residue from what it had picked up on the floor the first time. Any tips?Thanks for your advice!Renee

I don't know what is in NeverScrub but the Kaboom product seems to contain bromine as is used in indoor hot tubs. I refill with the much less expensive bromine tablets from the pool supply store. Chlorine is undesirable in closed spaces but bromine is supposed to be OK. Any bleaching cleaner can interfere with the action of a septic tank but the amount supplied by this product is probably no enough to make a noticeable difference in the septic tank.

The Scooba will break if you use anything but water, water/vinegar solution, or the stuff that they make you buy just for Scooba. I have been through 3 Scoobas and it turns out that they have a sensor inside (Customer Service told me) that will be destroyed/degraded if the solution isn't one of the above. In fact, I thought that I could at least SUCK UP whatever I put down, including diluted Mr. Clean. Nope. It broke on that...technically I was not breaking the "rules" not to use someone elses' cleaner, but it broke it. The Vinegar Water solution does an excellent job, stick with that and you'll do fine.

one of the tanks is for the clening solution. the other side is to "take up" the dirty water. Simple. And it works!
