Cleaning β FAQ
Can electric floor scrubbers clean carpet?
Yes, high-RPM scrubbers (1200+) with stiff brushes effectively clean low-pile carpet and area rugs. Avoid using water spray on carpet and test on an inconspicuous spot first.
How long do batteries last in electric scrubbers?
Most 2500mAh batteries run 45-60 minutes; 6000mAh batteries run 90-120 minutes. Dual-battery systems double runtime. Expect 2-3 years of battery life before capacity drops significantly.
Are electric scrubbers safe for hardwood floors?
Yes, if you use soft brush heads and 800 RPM or lower. Avoid excessive water and always test in a corner. Units with water spray should mist lightly, not saturate.
How often should I replace brush heads?
Replace every 3-6 months with weekly use. Stiff brushes wear faster on grout. Frayed bristles reduce cleaning effectiveness and can scratch surfaces.
Do I need a water spray function?
Only for hard floors. Water spray helps dissolve sticky spills on tile and laminate but is useless on carpet. A separate spray bottle works just as well for occasional use.
What's the difference between a scrubber and electric mop?
Scrubbers focus on agitation with higher RPM and stiff brushes for deep cleaning. Electric mops prioritize water distribution and pad rotation for light surface cleaning.
