Using DooDoo Voodoo With A Hoover®
FloorMate
SpinScrub 800 To Clean Hard-Surface Floors
 We
recently had an opportunity to use our new Hoover FloorMate SpinScrub 800
on the epoxy floors in our
private animal-rescue facility and
were really pleased with the results, so we thought we'd tell you about
our experience here.
We didn't put DooDoo Voodoo in
the machine and use the machine to dispense the DooDoo Voodoo like you
normally would use the FloorMate. Instead, we mixed up a big batch
of DooDoo Voodoo at the 1oz.-per-quart strength in a 2.5-gallon pump
sprayer we bought at Lowe's for less than $20. Then, using the
sprayer, we sprayed the walls up about 18" to make sure the DooDoo Voodoo
came in contact with all the urine that may have been missed by our
regular cleaning. We let the DooDoo Voodoo run down over the coved
epoxy, so gravity carried any urine down to the floor, where we could deal
with it.
We worked in one room at a
time and made sure to close the door to keep the cats out of the area
while we were working and while the DooDoo Voodoo was drying after we
finished.
 We sprayed the entire floor,
let the DooDoo Voodoo dwell for 15 minutes, then fired up the FloorMate on
the "wash" setting. This is the setting where the FloorMate doesn't
suck up the cleaning solution, it simply agitates it with the 6 built-in,
rotating bristle brushes. Because of the slightly-textured nature of
the epoxy floor in our facility, we removed the regular brush and instead
used the tile-&-grout brush, which is rougher on the floors. We
normally use the regular brush on our hardwoods and it works well.
After scrubbing a 4'x8'
section, we changed the FloorMate from "wash" to "wet pickup" and let it
suck up all the DooDoo Voodoo. The solution it vacuumed up was dark
brown and really yucky looking, so we could tell the FloorMate was doing a
good job of removing the soil that had been on the floor.
 We worked on 4'x8' sections
until the whole room had been scrubbed and vacuumed. There was a
little wetness left on the floor, which was fine with us because we knew
the DooDoo Voodoo would continue to kill germs and odors while it air
dried.
Within a short time, the room
was absolutely odor-free and the floor was dry, so we opened the door and
let the cats have access to the room again and moved on to another room to
begin our cleaning there. Some of our part-time animal caretakers
remarked the next day how much better the cleaned rooms smelled, even
before we told them what we'd done, so we consider the cleaning job a
success.
If you've got hard surfaces
like epoxy, tile, vinyl or even hardwoods, give this method a try.
We bet you'll have great results like we did.

Note: Be sure to run
fresh, clear water through your machine in both the wash/application mode
and the wet pickup mode after use to remove all remaining DooDoo Voodoo.
Do not leave DooDoo Voodoo in the solution tank or waste water recovery
tank. Rinse your bristle brush(es) thoroughly after use. We
assume no liability for incidental or consequential damages if you use
DooDoo Voodoo with a FloorMate or any other type of machine.
