Maintaining clean and pristine flooring is essential for the beauty and longevity of your home. Whether you have hardwood, tile, carpet, or vinyl flooring, keeping them in top shape is much easier with the right tools. Enter the HYLA EST—a versatile, water-based cleaning system designed to deep clean. If you're looking to maximize your HYLA EST's effectiveness on different types of floors, this complete guide has you covered.

 

  1. Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood floors add a timeless elegance to any home, but they require special care to avoid scratches, warping, or moisture damage.

Steps for Cleaning Hardwood with the HYLA EST:

  • Dust Removal: Use the HYLA EST with its dry vacuum function to remove dust and dirt. The water filtration ensures that no dust particles are released back into the air, keeping your home’s air cleaner.
  • Gentle Damp Cleaning: If you need to mop, make sure the mop is damp, not wet. You can use the NIMBUS EST’s spray function to lightly mist water on the floor while vacuuming simultaneously. This method is safe as long as you don’t oversaturate the wood.
  • Spot Cleaning: For tougher spots, use a microfiber cloth with a little water or a hardwood-safe cleaning solution. The HYLA EST can vacuum up residual moisture effectively.

Tips:

  • Avoid steam or excessive water exposure, as this can damage the wood.
  • Use the HYLA EST’s soft brush attachment to prevent scratching.

 

 

  1. Tile Flooring

Tile is incredibly durable but can accumulate grime, especially in the grout lines.

Steps for Cleaning Tile with the HYLA EST:

  • Dry Vacuum First: Start by using the HYLA EST to vacuum loose dirt and debris from the tiles and grout. The powerful suction ensures that nothing is left behind.
  • Wet Cleaning with HYLA EST: For deeper cleaning, fill the HYLA EST with clean water and attach the NIMBUS EST wet cleaning system. The machine will both spray water and vacuum simultaneously, scrubbing the tiles with its versatile brush head.
  • Grout Cleaning: For grout, use a scrub brush and a tile-safe cleaning solution, and follow up by vacuuming with the HYLA EST. This will ensure all moisture and dirt are removed.

Tips:

  • Always ensure grout dries thoroughly to prevent mold growth.
  • If needed, use a specialized grout cleaning attachment for hard-to-reach spots.

 

  1. Carpet Flooring

Carpets can trap dust, dirt, allergens, and odors. The HYLA EST is particularly effective on carpets because it not only vacuums but also cleans the air, removing allergens and refreshing the space.

Steps for Cleaning Carpets with the HYLA EST:

  • Vacuum Thoroughly: Begin by dry vacuuming your carpets with the HYLA EST to remove surface dust and debris. Use the standard attachment brush to start.
  • Deep Cleaning: For deep cleaning, switch to the HYLA EST’s power nozzle brush. Its powerful suction and filtration ensure a thorough clean without dust particles being recirculated into the air.
  • Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, pre-treat the area with a carpet-safe stain remover. Then, use the HYLA to vacuum up any excess moisture and solution.

Tips:

  • After wet cleaning, allow the carpet to air dry thoroughly to prevent mold growth.
  • Move furniture occasionally to vacuum beneath and around it.

 

  1. Vinyl Flooring

Vinyl floors are durable, water-resistant, and easy to maintain, making them popular in kitchens and bathrooms.

Steps for Cleaning Vinyl Floors with the HYLA EST:

  • Dry Vacuum: Start by vacuuming up dust and dirt with the HYLA EST. This step helps prevent scratching the vinyl when you mop.
  • Wet Cleaning: Vinyl is water-resistant, so you can use the wet-cleaning system to mop the floors with a safe cleaner or just water. The NIMBUS EST can spray and vacuum simultaneously, ensuring a clean, streak-free finish.

Tips:

  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can dull the finish on vinyl floors.
  • Rinse the floor after cleaning to remove any cleaner residue.

 

 

  1. Laminate Flooring

Laminate floors mimic the look of hardwood but are more resistant to moisture and wear. However, they still require special care.

Steps for Cleaning Laminate with the HYLA EST:

  • Dry Vacuum First: Start by using the HYLA EST’s dry vacuum mode to remove loose dirt and debris.
  • Light Damp Mopping: Avoid soaking the floor, as excess water can cause laminate to warp. The NIMBUS EST’s wet-cleaning works perfectly here, as it sprays a light mist and vacuums it up instantly.
  • Spot Cleaning: For spills or stains, use a laminate-safe cleaner with a microfiber cloth, then vacuum the area to ensure no moisture is left behind.

Tips:

  • Never use a fully wet mop and avoid harsh cleaning chemicals.
  • Regular vacuuming is key to preventing scratches from dirt and debris.
