Sonic Duo™ Floor Cleaner

WARNING:

Your Shark® Sonic Duo™ Floor Cleaner is designed to clean hard ﬂoor and carpet surfaces. 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. Always check with the carpet manufacturer or distributer before using the Shark® Activating Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odour Remover or the Low Moisture -No Rinse - Carpet Cleaner. To determine the colorfastness of any carpet -especially with reds or blues - take a clean, moist towel and gently rub a small area in an inconspicuous area. If color comes off the towel, you may need to have the carpets cleaned professionally.
