Can I add detergents or cleaning solutions?

 

  • The Dyson V12s Detect Slim Submarine™️ and V15s Detect Submarine™️ cordless vacuums include the Dyson Submarine™️ wet roller cleaner head, which is engineered to wash hard floors effectively using just clean water.
  • If you decide to add detergent, please a choose gentle, low-foaming household antibacterial detergent.
  • Please do not use bleach.
  • Please follow the detergent manufacturer's guidance on dilution for surface cleaning, and avoid putting detergents into the clean water tank before you’ve diluted them.

 

Can I add hot water?

 

Fill with tap water only, up to 35°C/95° F. Don’t use boiling water, as this could cause damage not covered under your machine’s Dyson guarantee.

Do I add the detergent to the water tank, correctly diluted? Or do I choose a spray type cleaner to spray onto the floor and only use clean water in the tank?

Hi @Lil.05,

We’d recommend adding diluted, low-foaming antibacterial detergent to your Dyson Submarine™️ vacuum’s clean water tank as recommended above. This should make it easier to control the amount of detergent your machine picks up.

Can I add diluted white vinegar into the water tank for cleaning?

Hi @amy.mymail,

We haven't tested diluted white vinegar and we can't guarantee it won't cause damage, so it's not something we'd recommend.

If you’d like to add a cleaning agent, we’d advise using a diluted low-foaming antibacterial detergent.
