Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Leifheit Regulus Aqua PowerVac.
1. Emptying and Cleaning the Dirty Water Tank
After each use, or when the Tank Control Technology indicates, remove the dirty water tank and empty its contents. Rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water. It is recommended to clean the tank with a mild detergent periodically to prevent odors and residue buildup.
2. Cleaning the Microfibre Rollers
The microfibre rollers should be cleaned regularly. They can be easily removed from the device. Rinse them under running water until clean. For deeper cleaning, they can be washed with mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before reattaching.
