Aww shucks and tarnation. I luv the smell of Pine-Sol. Good thing I flushed the Floor Washer out with clean plain water when I was done. Although, having disassembled it I can say that back in 1959 (?)Hoover was still using genuine rubber gaskets, hose and seals and a tough vinyl/acryllic plastic to form the tank components which should be fine with diluted Pine-Sol. Today's plastics and neoprene, I'd heed Hoover's advice for sure. And I think I'll have to find something else pine scented for future Floor Washer jobs. Thanks, Pete. |

Aeolian, the FloorMate that I found is not the same as the vintage Floor Washer you have. Check the link I included above. |

You can always suck up the post Electrolux scrub water with the Floor Mate. I did that only a few days ago trying out my Elux 3 brush polisher to see if it worked better on the tile grout than the Floor Mate, didn't seem to. |

Forgot to add..using the Electrolux to scrub the floors was a lot quieter than using the Floor Mate |

Oh ... is the Floor Mate noisy? I haven't even turned it on yet. |
