can you use other cleaning solutions in it or maybe spray on floor like bleach and ammonia

Think again,the scooba leaves traces of water,and does not dry the whole floor,

Make sure u never mix bleach and ammonia.. It will create chloramine vapor, and possibly hydrazine .. both highly toxic.. They shouldn't even be stored in the same area's together..

water with a spoon of vinegar only, bleach or ammonia will destroy the irobot

I would try it without cleaner first, the steam will often be all the liquid you need to get the grime off. If you use a cleaner, I would suggest something organic like vinegar and water mixture or other cleaner that your floor surface recommends. It will not harm the steamer since you are using the pads that come with it.

I didn't try that. This is more like a concentrated Mr. Clean floor wash, I don't think it can be used as a carpet cleaner and I wouldn't recommend using it in a carpet cleaning machine.

Sure you could but if I were you I would purchase a cleaner and sealer separately. I've not noticed this product being very effective.

On laminate and tile I use vinegar and water. On hardwood I use Bono hardwood floor cleaner. If cleaning pet mess I have used woolite pet stain spray.

Hi, the manual says that you shouldn't use anything but water; however, I have 2 dogs and like to disinfect as well. What I do is put the disinfectant in a spray bottle. I spray the floor with it and then mop over it with the steam and it works great. I also sometimes use the Lysol with Febreeze and it leaves my house smelling really nice.

It is my understanding that they do not recommend adding anything to the water although if anything vinegar would be the safest in my opinion. I got to know these steamers helping a friend clean her vacation rentals and we have had the occasion to spray the floor first with a bleach solution(for odor) or glass cleaner( to shine tile) and then go over with the steamer which worked well both times. That way you get the extra help of the solution without getting any in the mechanism of the steamer. I hope that helps.

You sure can!! However, just a warning: if you've got high gloss, new laminate floors like I do, it's finicky- like, you can't spray too much solution, or you can't spray too little. If you spray too much, as you go it'll look great, but an hour later, a film develops. I still would recc'd this product- it has saved my back. Just be mindful of how many times you press the button to release the cleaner! I hope this helps you! :)

I use either plain water, water and vinegar with a drop of dish detergent, or water and hydrogen peroxide. I don't use floor cleaners that require a rinse.

I don't see why not ... it is a mild but effective cleaner. Like any water based cleaner, you should not soak the floor to the extent that the solution loosens the tongue and grove attachment.

We spray the floor and use a clean mop with hot water (wrung out) to clean with. You could use a swiffer too

I haven't used it enough to know this problem. I suggest to try a little ammonia. Again I am not sure this is something that was suggested to me due to tile flooring losing it's shine. It just might help with the clog.

Cleaning solutions other than those made especially for Scooba are not recommended. I have found that plain water with a little white vinegar works very nicely.

The manual spesifies only Hover Cleaning products. http://content.abt.com/documents/52884/FH40160_manual.pdf However I have used a light bleach/water on tiled floors with the older model for over a year, it did not cause any problems. Since vinegar is water soluble you should be fine.

I guess you could. But, it definitely will not remove any contaminants like dirt and grime. It would just kill anything living in it.

I see no reason why you cannot. It has no chemicals that can harm your floor . I use it on my tile and laminate with my Bissell steamer and it works great.If you steam anyway this is great. There is nothing but a little fresh smell added to the destilled water in the bottle. I hope you find it refreshes a bit more as I didHope that helped Kim..I hate to mop and this does help with my darling puppies messy tracks.. KMorris,texas.

I bought a home with really dirty tile floors. After 2 steam cleanings with the use of almost straight bleach on the floor while steaming, I was able to see an 80% improvement. But I can't recommend that anyone clean with straight bleach. So, I would have to say by itself, likely not.
