“Auto” mode for automatically adjusting suction depending on the amount of dirt.

If you’ve got plank-style vinyl, mop with the grain for the best results..Avoid using a steam mop.

The heat and excess moisture produced by steam cleaners aren’t a good mix for vinyl floors..Step 3.5: Rinse (Optional).While this isn’t an essential step, we strongly recommend rinsing to keep your floor in good condition – especially if you’ve used anything other than pure water.. Rinsing with cool water helps to remove residue left behind by cleaning products.

Residue can leave floors looking dull and feeling sticky.If you want to rinse your floors, use a second clean mop so there’s no risk of any cleaning solution getting back onto the floor..

If you’ve rinsed and your floor still feels sticky, try adding a small amount of distilled white vinegar to the water when rinsing..

Step 4: Leave to Dry.While this works most of the time, it can be fooled by dirt that’s deep in carpets (although there’s always the option of manually increasing suction when needed.).

The upside is that the iLoop smart suction system works with all tools and accessories, not just the main floorhead.The Dyson V11’s automatic system only works with the primary floor head and mini motorised tool.. Secondly, the Tineco provides full suction control when you don’t want to use “Auto” mode.

Instead of needing to choose between three pre-defined settings, the Tineco has a slider to set the suction to whatever you need, which is great for balancing suction power against battery life and difficulty pushing.This provides excellent control, but is a more manual solution than the Dyson V11..
