do you have to use a special cleaning product

No, I have owned this machine for many years (Dec 2009) and I have run everything through it. Bleach, Mr Clean, Lysol, Pet Floor, Oxy Clean (dissolved and run through a sieve), TSP, Murphy's (a favorite) and I have used "Dry Foam" (a non-aerosol encapsulating product you mix with water) from the commercial supply house to clean the short pile rugs I have by my doorways. The only things you can't run through it are flammable solvents. I run a clean water rinse through it after I use a corrosive cleaner like bleach before putting the Floormate away. I'm here buying a Floormate as a gift for my sister in law. So my own 4 year old Floormate is still going strong with all of these other cleaning products used.

I have used only the Hoover cleaning products and I don't know how other cleaning products work. I'm sure you have to be wary of using foaming cleaning products since they will fill the reservoir with foam and shut off the return dirty water reservoir.

I did try using a solution with tilex, but it's best if you use a cleaning solution from Hoover. Amazon has it in a concentrate that is not expensive. That's where I buy mine. Hope this helps! Happy Holidays!!!

There is a reservoir for solution. I used the recommended solution which did not leave my floors shiny and I tried another solution with the reservoir which also didn't leave the desired shine so what I do now is just use plain water with the Hoover and then I go back over my floors with mop n glo

it says in the instructions to only use the recommended cleaning product. I never used anything other than what was recommended.

It's not necessary, but I think it works better if you are clean before you apply it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "remove" the cleaner....If you are asking if you are asking if it needs to be "rinse" mopped, the answer is no. You simply spray on and mop with the soft mop. It will dry in a couple of minutes and that's it. No rinse.

No but I've never had to clean mine. If you do, you could use an old toothbrush.

You can use whatever but life is easier if you use a Bona mop and cartridges of cleaner

No you have to use a special wax, theirs. I just gave mine away as took forever to warm the wax...onto the next brand.

Yes. I did use it with out without. I did. Price it smelled worse when I didn't use them. Unless you bleach it everytime you clean it

You can remove it washing your face with any make up remover. I don`t use any special one. Even with a face soap.

A little cleaning brush comes with it. And there is some special oil that you use too.

I'm not sure why you need a special toothbrush, probably to get better penetration of the compounds, but to be fair, I hardly ever say that things do or do not work since they work differently for some people, but I do not see this toothpaste doing any better than any other toothpaste in terms of "whitening".

With a little elbow grease, no you don't need a cleaner. There are times, however, when I need a cleaner, but it is rare.

You can use your normal cleanser! That's what I do. I have only used the cleanser that came with it a couple of times.

I use Natural Shine to clean and protect. For a quick clean, I just use a damp microfiber cloth.

This product is just a cleaner that you would use weekly or as needed. It is not a permanent finish.

Yes use a vacume cleaner depends on how much use . May be replace once a year.

No, this is only a cleaner. You will need other products for waterproofing. Unfortunately I can't recommend anything as I haven't used any waterproofers myself.
