The Quad 800 has a built-in trash can near the roller brushes that collects solid debris like hair, paper and dirt during cleaning. After light use, a quick rinse may be enough, but in high-traffic or heavily soiled areas, the trash can area should be cleaned more thoroughly to prevent odours, clogs or performance issues.
When Deep Cleaning Is Needed
If your Quad 800 has just cleaned a large commercial area, building entrance or warehouse zone, there’s a good chance the trash area will contain compacted debris or wet waste. If left uncleaned, it may lead to smells or impact roller brush movement.
Steps to Clean the Trash Can Area Thoroughly
Follow these steps after a heavy cleaning session:
-
Turn off the machine completely to ensure safety
-
Remove the trash can from the front of the roller brushes
-
Empty all solid waste into a suitable bin
-
Rinse the inside and outside of the trash can with clean water
-
Use a soft brush to remove sticky or trapped dirt if needed
-
Check the compartment where the trash can sits for debris or moisture
-
Wipe dry or air dry the parts before reinstalling
Tips for Better Results
-
Avoid using hot water or chemicals that might deform the plastic
-
If cleaning sticky or greasy material, use mild soap followed by a full rinse
-
Let the trash can dry fully to prevent mould or odour
How Often to Do This
-
After any visibly heavy cleaning session
-
At least once per week, even if no issues are visible
-
More frequently in places like lobbies, supermarkets or food prep areas
