Cleaning — FAQ
What's the difference between a spin scrubber and electric mop?
Spin scrubbers use stiff brushes for aggressive grout and tile cleaning. Electric mops have soft pads for floor polishing and light surface cleaning. Choose scrubbers for deep cleaning, mops for maintenance.
How long do batteries actually last?
High-power 1500 RPM models drain batteries in 60-70 minutes of continuous max-speed use. Lower 800 RPM units run 90+ minutes. Dual-battery systems double runtime and let you swap without waiting for recharges.
Can I use these on hardwood floors?
Only electric mops with soft pads and RPM under 800 RPM. Avoid stiff brushes—they'll scratch wood finishes. Always test in an inconspicuous area first and ensure wood is properly sealed.
What does IPX7 waterproof rating mean?
IPX7 allows full submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. You can dunk it in a filled tub. IPX6 only withstands powerful water jets. Match the rating to your cleaning style—showers need IPX6+, tub filling needs IPX7.
How many brush heads do I really need?
Minimum three: large flat for floors, small round for corners, cone for grout. Eight-head kits include specialty pads for glass, car wheels, and delicate surfaces. More heads prevent cross-contamination between bathroom and kitchen.
Are electric scrubbers worth it for small apartments?
Yes—especially compact telescoping models. They cut cleaning time by 70% and eliminate harsh chemical scrubbing. For apartments under 800 sq ft, a single-battery model suffices. The time savings alone justify the investment.
