1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing EZICLEAN Hobot Microfiber Pads. This pack contains 12 high-quality, double-sided microfiber pads designed to provide optimal cleaning performance for your EZICLEAN Hobot window cleaning robot. These pads are compatible with Hobot models 168, 188, 198, 368, 388, and 398. Regular replacement and proper maintenance of these pads are essential for achieving streak-free results and extending the lifespan of your cleaning robot.

2. Setup and Installation

Installing the EZICLEAN Hobot microfiber pads is a straightforward process. Ensure your Hobot robot is powered off before attaching or detaching pads.

1. Prepare the Robot: Place your Hobot window cleaning robot on a flat, stable surface with the cleaning pads facing upwards.
2. Remove Old Pads (if applicable): Gently peel off any used microfiber pads from the robot's cleaning wheels. The Velcro attachment allows for easy removal.
3. Attach New Pads: Align a new microfiber pad with one of the robot's circular cleaning wheels. Press the pad firmly onto the Velcro surface of the wheel, ensuring it is centered and securely attached. Repeat for the second cleaning wheel.

3. Operating Instructions

For optimal cleaning results with your EZICLEAN Hobot robot and microfiber pads, follow these guidelines:

• Pad Preparation: Before initial use, it is recommended to wash the new pads to remove any loose fibers. Lightly dampen the pads with water or a suitable window cleaning solution. Avoid oversaturating the pads.
• Solution Application: Apply window cleaning solution sparingly to the pads. Excessive solution can cause the robot to slip or leave streaks. A grid pattern of 6x6 small sprays on each pad is often sufficient.
• Double-Sided Use: The pads are designed to be used on both sides. Flip them over for extended cleaning before washing.
• Pad Replacement Frequency: For best performance, change your microfiber pads regularly, especially if cleaning large or very dirty surfaces. It is recommended to replace pads every 6 months, or more frequently depending on usage and dirt levels.
• Multiple Passes: For heavily soiled windows, consider performing 2 to 3 cleaning passes, changing the pads between passes if necessary.

4. Maintenance

Proper care of your microfiber pads will ensure their longevity and continued effectiveness.

• Washing: The microfiber pads are washable by hand or machine.
• Machine Washing: For machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold or warm water (up to 30°C / 86°F). Do not use fabric softener, as it can clog the microfiber and reduce its cleaning efficiency.
• Drying: Air dry the pads or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the microfiber.
• Storage: Store clean, dry pads in a clean, dust-free environment until their next use.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your EZICLEAN Hobot robot with these microfiber pads, consider the following:

• Streaks on Windows:
  • Cause: Too much cleaning solution applied to the pads.
  • Solution: Reduce the amount of cleaning solution. Ensure pads are only lightly damp.
  • Cause: Pads are too dirty or worn out.
  • Solution: Replace with clean pads. For very dirty windows, multiple passes with fresh pads may be required.
• Robot Slipping or Losing Grip:
  • Cause: Pads are oversaturated with cleaning solution.
  • Solution: Wring out excess solution from the pads. Ensure they are only damp.
• Pads Not Cleaning Effectively:
  • Cause: Pads are old or heavily used.
  • Solution: Replace with new pads. Microfiber effectiveness can diminish over time.
