a “Purple” cap and label. This bottle is to be used
with the Low Moisture –No Rinse- Carpet Cleaner.
The Sonic Duo™ also has a second Carpet Mode (II)

same way. Some carpets will require more time and
cleaning solution than others.

any loose dirt, dust, or debris that may have
accumulated in the carpet.

SPOT & STAIN CLEAN ING

Please note that not all carpets react to the Sonic
Duo™ the same way. Some carpets will require

more time and cleaning solution than others.

Step 1:

1.

Vacuum the stained or discolored area to remove

any loose dirt, dust, or debris that may have
accumulated in your carpet.

Step 2:

2.

Begin by pretreating the stain with the

Activating Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odour
Remover until the stain or discoloration is fully
saturated.

3.

Let sit for 5-10 minutes.

4.

Use a white cloth with a blunt object to blot up

the stain.

5.

You will see the stain begin to transfer from the
carpet onto the white cloth.

6.

Continue to use fresh areas of the white cloth as

you blot up more and more of the stain.

7.

Never rub.

8.

Repeat as necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I noticed a rippling effect on the edges of my area

rugs – should I be concerned?

A. Wool area rugs sometimes have a rippling

effect on the edges after cleaning. This
rippling will relax our after a few days of
regular wear and usage.

Q. After using the Low Moisture –No Rinse- Carpet

Cleaner, my carpet feels dry and crunchy – what
can I do?

A. If your carpets feel crunchy, you likely used

too much of the Low Moisture – No Rinse­Carpet Cleaner. The dry crunchy feeling will
go away after a few days of normal wear
and usage. Another pass vacuuming should
also help break up the crunchy texture more
quickly. To avoid this from happening again,
we recommend using less solution on one
specific area or a less concentrated dilution.

Q. How can I remove tough stains?

A. Begin by treating the stain with the Activating

Pretreater until fully saturated. Let sit for 5-10
minutes. Next, use a white cloth with a blunt
object to blot up the stain. You will see the
stain transfer from the carpet onto the white
cloth. Continue to use fresh areas of the cloth
as you blot up more and more of the stain.
Never rub. Repeat as necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. My Sonic Duo™ leaves a foam on hard floors.

A. The Sonic Duo™ Hard Floor Cleaning Pad is

likely too saturated. Replace it with a clean,
dry pad.

Q. My floors appear cloudy after cleaning.

A. The Sonic Duo™ Hard Floor Cleaning Pad

may be dirty. Change the pad.

OR

A. The Sonic Duo™ Hard Floor Cleaning Pad

was washed with a powder detergent and
may be damaged and require replacement.
Never use powder detergents. Only use liquid
detergent to launder the cleaning pads.

OR

A. The Sonic Duo™ may have been left in the

same spot for too long with a wet cleaning
pad. Never leave the unit with a wet pad in
one spot for too long.

OR

A. This may be leftover from past cleaners

that were used on the floor surface. Use the

Sonic Duo™ a few more times and see if the

leftover cloudiness is removed. If this does not
work, we suggest rinsing the floor with water
and letting it dry. One or more rinses generally
removes the residue. A more stubborn case
may require you to rinse the floor with a mix
of one part vinegar to 2 parts water. Then use
the Sonic Duo™ again with a clean pad.

Polishing Your Hard Floors:

1 Vacuum the floor to remove all loose dirt, dust

and grit from the floor surface. For best results,
we recommend that you clean the floor using
the Shark

®

Wood & Hard Floor Cleaner first and

allow time to dry before polishing.

2 Attach the Hard Floor Polishing Pad to the

bottom of the Sonic Duo
“Orange” trim and the “Orange” tag says “Hard
Floor Polishing Pad”. (Fig. 30)

3 Lightly step on the back of the scrubbing head to

release the handle.

WARN ING: Never stand on the Sonic Duo™.

4 Carefully, squirt a liberal amount of the Floor

Polish onto an area of the floor to be polished
and place the polishing pad over it before you
start the unit. Make sure that the polishing
pad is saturated and then squirt the polish in
12x12cm se ctions. (Fig. 31)

5 Turn the On/Off button to “On (I Low)” setting.

Always squirt the floor polish from a height of
15cm above the floor to avoid splashing the
polish over the floor. One bottle is enough to
cover 40m

6 Use the Sonic Duo

to spread the polish
evenly over the floor. Do not go over an applied
area too frequently. Always leave an area
looking wet. If a section begins to look dry while
polishing, add more Wood & Hard Floor Polish to
the area. Repeat until the whole area has been
polished.

7 When going from section to section, do not lift

the Sonic Duo

™

to move it, always slide it to

the next section. No rinsing is required.

8 Allow the Wood & Hard Floor Polish to dry for at

least 1 hour in light traffic areas and a complete
24 hours for the polish to cure before returning
to heavy traffic areas.

9 When finished, turn the unit off and slide and

lift the Sonic Duo

™

to remove it from the area
that was just polished. Lay the Sonic Duo™ on
its side and remove the Hard Floor Polishing Pad
by hand. (Fig. 33)

NOTE: Depending on the amount of traffic your

floors sustain, Shark

®

recommends polishing
every 2 months. Touch up high traffic areas as
needed in-between full floor polishes.

IMPORTANT: Do not use on unsealed wood

or unglazed ceramic floors. 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
or polished before proceeding. You should check
the use and care instructions from the floor
manufacturer before cleaning or polishing.

IMPORTANT: Do not use more than one brand

of floor polish to polish one room. Use only

Care and Maintenance

General Tips:

• Change the Wood & Hard Floor Cleaning Pad frequently for best results.

• Always vacuum floors and carpets before cleaning or polishing.

• If you notice any uneven areas or streaking, DO NOT go over the same area with more polish if the floor
has begun to dry. Wait until the floor polish has totally dried for approximately a day before going over it
again with more polish.

• Never lift the Sonic Duo
unit off the floor and then remove the pad.

• When polishing, you should always leave each section looking wet, never dry, before going to the next
section.

• Try the Pretreater Carpet Stain & Odour Remover to eliminate your toughest stains. Just spray the solution
onto the stain until saturated, allow 5-10 minutes to set and then blot up the stain with a white cloth or
towel. Never scrub the stain, only blot.

scissors. Do not pull on them or cut at the base.

hear an audible “Click” when inserted.

2. Check that there is enough cleaning solution in the Reusable Bottle. If

3. The bottle cap on the Reusable Bottle may need to be cleaned. Remove
it from the Reusable Bottle and rinse it under running water and then

To remove it, grip the small lips at the top and bottom of the spray nozzle
and turn counterclockwise. Run the spray nozzle under warm water to
clean it out. Reinsert the spray nozzle by lining up its grooves with the
inside of the nozzle hole. Turn clockwise until the lips return to the top
and bottom positions.

low. This is a safety mechanism to ensure that the machine will turn off
if it is dropped. To keep the Sonic Duo™ on when cleaning under low
profile items, simply twist the handle to the left or right and engage the
swivel. When the handle is swivelled and lowered, the Sonic Duo™ will
remain on.
