iRobot Scooba experience

any alternative cleaning solutions for the scooba?
Or where can I buy the clorox solution for scooba in Singapore?

 

[Zanter]

Just tested my scooba 330 this morning, worked for about 40mins on 1st charge and for sure cleans more than 250ft2. Can clean my hall + corridor no problem. Slightly shorter than the run time of my roomba which is expected. 2 questions

1. I was wondering if I can use those floor cleaners in small amounts when my roomba cleaning pack runs out.

2. My Roomba starts to squeek on turns..Like the rubber wheels slipping-is this normal? I clean the brushes/bushing and the caster wheel but the sqeeking sound remains.

Thanks!

yes you can use any solution you like in small amt.

That's a NO NO!!! Use any solution that contains bleach (which most of the cleaning agent contains) and you will end up with leaking tank soon.

I use kiwi kleen since my 380 acquisition >3yrs ago. My 380 is still giving me more ROI today.

But only use a small amt. <2cm on the iRobot cup for a tankful of water.

SG sold Clorox which u see from supermarket is a toilet cleaner bleaching agent, so PLS don't use that.
Clorox is just the company name, the actual solution is called Clorox Scooba Solution, which was specially formulated for Scooba. PH neutral, no bleach, low sud (ie. less foam).

Rule of thumb for Scooba: No bleach & no wax. Don't use on laminate floor.
Bonus attributes: PH neutral, low foam, less soapy

Many alt solution to use, my favourite is Kiwi Kleen. It's cheap, the large 3L value pack is only ~$5.5 (milky blue Superactive). It's less foamy & soapy.
Just DON'T use Kiwi Kleen OXY FORCE cos I'm sure it contains bleach (Oxidizing agent). I believe Mr Muscle & Easy Off Bang are too toxic for Scooba.

I've used Magiclean & I find it's more soapy than Kiwi Kleen milky blue, so Scooba may loose traction & skid when turning.
I use Sunshine D28 for marble floor, it's more ex.
I know a few Scooba owners using Dettol & Amway LOC Multi-Purpose Cleaner (organic), don't ask where to buy LOC cos I oso dunno, maybe online.
