As a Kirby dealer, i advise you that after you finish with the Hard Floor mode putting all the water on the floor, put it on Off mode and lift it up and let the machine work for about 1 minute, when you do that the brush will get dry and after when you pickup the water it will be much better. Good content keep it up
All I can say is bravo I got a lot out of this video but without reading your comment I wouldn’t really know what I’m doing and now I do even though I haven’t used the unit yet. I feel like I’m damn certified just reading your reply. Thanks again appreciate it.
This video was EXTREMELY helpful. First time using this set up, been part of the Kirby family for about a month.. lol Thank you for taking the time to make it. Have a nice day!

I just purchased this exact set up and I haven’t used it yet. I was a little bummed out because I only have one room with carpet and frankly it basically bought it because the girl had an amazing set of…. Eyes, that’s what it was. But after watching this video, this is clearly an amazing unit and the only thing I regret is not letting her do the demonstration I spent cut up with her was time spent as well I guess cheers great video
Congratulations on the best investment in you home , at the moment we only have 2 carpets a mat and the Matresses. Though I wouldn’t be without my kirby , helps me keep winning the battle with my moulting GSD and dust mites . 👍👍
Just got my avalir multi surface system for my g5 (my old g5 shampoo system tray is broken), but Tile/grout brush won’t work on the older systems so just decided on picking up one off eBay and definitely works great other than the nozzle being plastic rather then cast aluminum but still performs great I like that it has a cover on it so it keeps everything in.
I was wondering if it was OK to use the mop on bamboo as were about to be moving to a house with bamboo flooring and was nervous this would be too much water. I'm glad I picked this video to watch on how to use the mop attachment!
Thank you! I couldn’t figure out what I’d been doing wrong when I’d tried mine but I think I didn’t secure that rubber band thingy when attaching the floor cleaning roller thing. I’ll have to hook it up correctly and try again. Last time it kept falling out and it wouldn’t suck the soapy water back up
I thought it was going to be rubbish but it was really good on large hard floor surfaces. Got out a lot dirt from relatively clean looking floors. Trick is not too much water and run the mop over until virtually dry and your floor is lovely and buffed
I was so confuse about the hardwood floor cleaning process!! Til I saw towards the ending of your video on how to suck up the water!! I was just spraying water and shampoos everywhere, didn’t know how to get rid of the shampoo and water.!! Was very frustrating!! Thank You very much for the step by step!! I Also try looking everywhere else on how to use it? Other videos were only teaching me how to install the system and things!! Which yes I already know how to do!! Again Thank You!!

I have tried this on tiled floor , it leaves a lot of water from what I remember. I’d use the floor buffer to get debris from floorboard joints . I think that would be a better option to loosen joint debris. Hope this helps 👍👍🔔
I just picked up a G5 with shampoo accessory and cannot locate the hardwood mop roller. Is there one you recommend that would fit a G5 shampooed? Great content!
the on and off belt kills me,so belt red/off that means the mop won t rotate?in order to shampoo the floors,and belt on meaning grean in order to have the mop rotate and clean the floor and the excess shampoo?or is it exactly reversed?
It would but you have to be careful with laminate floor . If it is the green MDF that is moisture resistant, but the standard laminate flooring is normal mdf.which if you got moisture in the joints it would blow your floor .
William Sevier being a carpenter thought I’d better give comparison. I’ve seen a few laminate floors blown from over wetting or steam mops. Glad I could help
@@KirbyEnthusiast HAHA, I had thought about getting one of those steam mops too, then thought better of it, so glad I didn't do that. The flooring I have just snap locks together (tongue and groove) no nails or clue, the seams of course are never water tight. I just use a swiffer sweeper, and occasionally the cleaner that they recommend for it and it seems to do fine, was just thinking maybe a floor system like Kirby has would be good to do once in a while but realize that would have been a disaster. Thank you again for your information and sharing your knowledge with us.
My wife is getting frustrated because the machine doesn't seem to be pulling up the water after she is cleaning the floors. Any idea what the problem could be?
I’m hopefully gonna have an avalir 2 with the multi surface shampooer buy this summer. I currently have a sentria 2, G5, and a heritage 2. Nothings cleans like these things, not even rainbow, the only good thing about rainbow is its air purification and its ability to put aromas in the air. Rainbows carpet cleaning performance comes nothing close to Kirby’s, nor does the airflow or suction.
Avalir 2 is awesome my favourite part is the hardwood floor and tile mop system. The upright shampooer is also way more efficient I found compared to the Gseries one . 👍🔔

So long as they are sealed , some laminate floors are plain MDF and not moisture resistant. Mine are bamboo I still have to treat them like laminate as such . If I get too much water in the joints they would swell . I can’t use a steam mop on them either.

I have hardwood floors in my home and all stone tile in the bathroom and kitchen. This demonstration ALONE has me convinced I can get the clean I’m desperate for. Especially with all the natural sunlight that shines in... you can sometimes see what the mop did/didn’t do 😅
I vacuum the floor 1st because we have a dog and worried of any small gravel she may have brought in scratching my bamboo floor. The mop system works a lot better than a bissell mopping and buffing as it goes
I am new to owning a Kirby I tried to clean my tiled floor and it will not pick up any water at all the tray is completely dry it just seems to flood my floor with water. It won’t remove any marks off the tiles either not even a wet foot print that had dried. I contacted my local Kirby dealer and they suggested I watch your videos I have followed your instructions but nothing has changed I would love to know what I’m doing wrong
I say in video to clean the floor with vacuum thoroughly to remove any grit or stones , as a pet owner my dog treads in alot which could cause damage to wooden floors .
My mistake , thought I had , sussed thar out on 2nd half of floor. Worked really well. Really enjoyed doing this video and showing what a fantastic addition the mop system is .
I own a G4 and trying to find out the difference between G4 and Avalir and avalir 2. Are there any sites that go into this. I have googled but not found anything yet lol. I love my G4 but have all wooden floors downstairs and I think maybe the Avalir would be more useful for that maybe.
Great video! I was using this feature incorrectly until watching this. What level/height do you recommend the vacuum be on to clean hardwood flooring? I typically use it in the lowest setting to the floor when I vacuum my carpet
Hi Cee C When vacuuming carpet you should knock down until tone changes then 1 more click down. When mopping with Kirby turned off lower the toe touch until you hear the mop rubbing on floor then this is at correct height . With shampoo system they recommend all the way down. If using Generation series its lower until you here it rubbing on carpet then 1 more click. Think this was due to there being more bristle on the G Series. Hope this helps. Thanks for SUBSCRIBING to Support my channel
This video was so helpful! Thank you! I used the multi- surface system on my vinyl floors for the time tonight. Follow all of your instructions step by step. I think it turned out great. Fairly easy to use too. Any advice for small pools of water left behind? Maybe I used too much water? I tried to suck up those areas a couple of times but didn't seem to work.

I just have a dry mop at hand incase it does leave a little . But normally picks majority of it up .

@@KirbyEnthusiast I also had this same problem. The machine dumped tons of water on my floor when I had it on the hard floor setting. Is it supposed to be on "Off" once you're done mopping and just going back over to pick up the excess water? Or "Off" while mopping? Thank you for producing videos that are head and shoulders above the videos the Kirby company produces.
I just got my Kirby yesterday. Did the hardwood floors today & as I'm sucking up the water, it leaves all kinds of nasty dirty water behind the machine itself. Any idea why it does that?
Hi Kimberly, Welcome to the Kirby Family. Make sure you have the dial turned to off on pick up excess water. i also go over with a dry mop after due to having bamboo and polishing after clean. Thanks for Subscribing and supporting the future continued content on my channel.
I turned the brush off. If it is on it kicks all of the junk behind the machine. So I will do the floor with the brush on then where all the gunk is afterwords I switch the brush off and go over it. Worked for me.
Subscribed! I have oak floors. I noticed they don’t recommend using this if the floors aren’t “sealed”. Not sure what qualifies as sealed but wondering if you thought it would be ok? So far I’ve just sprayed the ready to use solution on and did it that way. It works but I would think this way would work even better. Appreciate any advice!
Hi Jake thanks so much for showing support of my channel. I use it in Bamboo flooring . I’m assuming sealed is laquaured. Our is a laquered floor. If it’s Not sealed from water that’s what they means. I also wax my floor so it is well sealed lol.
Is it necessary to lay all the water down? What settings do you put the kirby on to spray the floor with the hand sprayer and then mop? I'm thinking I'll spot mop a couple times a week and then really polish the floors as demonstrated once every other week or so. Great video!
The belt needs changing and check brushroll height is correct. If brushroll is set too low it will burn belts. th-cam.com/video/jY1mS_U2cck/w-d-xo.html
One must really be intrigued /inquisitive/ informed and enthusiastic about your Kirby system. Oftentimes people don't get clued up with their Kirby. Not tapping into the full potential of the system. After some time, they reach for the simple ordinary vacuum cleaner. With just Power on/of, just clip open if canisters(etc.) is full ... These people loose out to one of the best (if not the best) domestic cleaning systems available. The upside of this, some lucky Kirby enthusiast might gain a bargain. (maybe even a freebie) But You can learn, right here on this channel. Then you don't have to be the one who loose, for others to win. 😳😁

Hopefully more Kirby owners will discover my channel and benefit with the full use of there great investment
Is this the same setting you use for laminate flooring? I feel like there is so much water and it doesn’t suck it back up into the collection tray when I do it
I just bought the avalir 2 and using the mop takes so much more time than using a traditional mop. Its a constant back and forth to suck up the water. Its not just a one pass over to suck up the left over water. The vacume is not really designer for moping IMO. Its more of a mess when trying to clean up the water.
I agree the mopping part it really frustrating me leaving my floors wet and i turn the dial off and it doesnt suck up and the hook that grabs the roller confusing me bc you have to turn it to off for it to grab but when you have to put it on you turn it to on and the hook lets go Im not a very happy kirby owner and i just got mine last week they are telling me i can't return it after 3 days 😒

After setup for hardwood floor it won’t turn on
Have you checked the tank is clicked on correctly. Sometimes it needs a little more push to click in place . Hope the helps 👍👍🛎
This video was so helpful! Thank you! I used the multi- surface system on my vinyl floors for the time tonight. Follow all of your instructions step by step. I think it turned out great. Fairly easy to use too. Any advice for small pools of water left behind? Maybe I used too much water? I tried to suck up those areas a couple of times but didn't seem to work.
Make sure the dial is fully turned to off and it should pick majority of it up . If not just use a dry mop . Thank you for supporting my channel, make sure to 👍 up videos as it helps with TH-cam algorithm. Aldo ding 🛎 not to miss new uploads 👍👍
Your so welcome.
I just had a dry mop at hand for any bits it wouldn’t pick up . But it worked great . Double check the belt isn’t stretched on the mop . Also make sure when not in use not tension on the belt .

I just have a dry mop at hand incase it does leave a little . But normally picks majority of it up .
Make sure to swill out the mop head on the Kirby so it doesn’t smell over time of no use and keep belt wound of when stored away so it doesn’t stretch.

@@KirbyEnthusiast I also had this same problem. The machine dumped tons of water on my floor when I had it on the hard floor setting.
Is it supposed to be on "Off" once you're done mopping and just going back over to pick up the excess water? Or "Off" while mopping?
Thank you for producing videos that are head and shoulders above the videos the Kirby company produces.
@@ChristineN1 Yep it should be set to off position to pick up all remains of water .
I just got my Kirby yesterday. Did the hardwood floors today & as I'm sucking up the water, it leaves all kinds of nasty dirty water behind the machine itself. Any idea why it does that?
Hi Kimberly, Welcome to the Kirby Family. Make sure you have the dial turned to off on pick up excess water. i also go over with a dry mop after due to having bamboo and polishing after clean.
Thanks for Subscribing and supporting the future continued content on my channel.
I turned the brush off. If it is on it kicks all of the junk behind the machine. So I will do the floor with the brush on then where all the gunk is afterwords I switch the brush off and go over it. Worked for me.
@@Jake-rh7yy how do you turn off the brush ?
OMG YES i need to try this soon i have alot of wood flooring this should help :D
Glad I could help, can’t believe this was over 12 months ago I recorded this .
Come along way on TH-cam since .
Thanks for supporting my content 👍👍
Subscribed! I have oak floors. I noticed they don’t recommend using this if the floors aren’t “sealed”. Not sure what qualifies as sealed but wondering if you thought it would be ok? So far I’ve just sprayed the ready to use solution on and did it that way. It works but I would think this way would work even better. Appreciate any advice!
Hi Jake thanks so much for showing support of my channel. I use it in Bamboo flooring . I’m assuming sealed is laquaured. Our is a laquered floor. If it’s Not sealed from water that’s what they means. I also wax my floor so it is well sealed lol.
Is it necessary to lay all the water down? What settings do you put the kirby on to spray the floor with the hand sprayer and then mop? I'm thinking I'll spot mop a couple times a week and then really polish the floors as demonstrated once every other week or so. Great video!
Make sure you set the mop to hard floor , you can lower the setting to put less out by turning it half way between off and hard floor .
I like it,I just bought my own of recent
That’s awesome, you won’t regret owning a Kirby .
Best vacuum that will last and clean a lifetime 👍👍
Great tutoring. Thanks
Thankyou glad I could help 👍🛎
Just bought one from OfferUp but it’s making a burning smell and light don’t stay green
The belt needs changing and check brushroll height is correct. If brushroll is set too low it will burn belts. th-cam.com/video/jY1mS_U2cck/w-d-xo.html
Thanks!!
Your welcome, thankyou for support 👍🛎
My mom and dad had the avalir they rarely used it and used my old bissell powerforce helix that my neighbor gave me
One must really be intrigued /inquisitive/ informed and enthusiastic about your Kirby system.
Oftentimes people don't get clued up with their Kirby.
Not tapping into the full potential of the system.
After some time, they reach for the simple ordinary vacuum cleaner. With just Power on/of,
just clip open if canisters(etc.) is full ...
These people loose out to one of the best (if not the best) domestic cleaning systems available.
The upside of this, some lucky Kirby enthusiast might gain a bargain. (maybe even a freebie)
But You can learn, right here on this channel. Then you don't have to be the one who loose, for others to win. 😳😁

Is this the same setting you use for laminate flooring? I feel like there is so much water and it doesn’t suck it back up into the collection tray when I do it
Yes , but I would mop laminate as it’s not a sealed floor on the joints . The joints will blow if water seeps underneath
I just bought the avalir 2 and using the mop takes so much more time than using a traditional mop. Its a constant back and forth to suck up the water. Its not just a one pass over to suck up the left over water. The vacume is not really designer for moping IMO. Its more of a mess when trying to clean up the water.
I use mine quit a lot , I just keep a dry mop on hand for my bamboo floor after I’ve cleaned with the Kirby
I agree the mopping part it really frustrating me leaving my floors wet and i turn the dial off and it doesnt suck up and the hook that grabs the roller confusing me bc you have to turn it to off for it to grab but when you have to put it on you turn it to on and the hook lets go
Im not a very happy kirby owner and i just got mine last week they are telling me i can't return it after 3 days 😒
@@keerstinmoran2787 I'm with you
Another missed video. I have this tool nowadays and see now that I get a real instruction to use it correctly.
Nice to see you catching up buddy , can you believe I have uploaded nearly 300 videos in 2 yrs.
Loved using this on my bamboo floors and tiles
@@KirbyEnthusiast Why am I not surprised?
@@ronaldstrik still need to reach more of Europe with my channel I want to get over 10k Subscribers like the Kirby company after sharing all the money saving tips that the Kirby company don’t want you to know 👍👍
@@KirbyEnthusiast I called the Kirby Company last Friday. An English man called me back. Talking about the rebuild program. I have to send it to Cleveland Ohio. Sending costs are more than a new Kirby. Bobtech Netherlands can help me with parts an your videos complete everything. BTW. the caller knows you. He don’t know his name anymore. I tipped him to watch your videos. He did and recognises you. 😉👨🦲
@@ronaldstrik that’s awesome 👍👍
The whole bottle for one wash? Lmao you money hungry monsters
That’s Kirby for you 😂
Uhg! This doesn't work very well. I just gave up and scrubbed the old fashioned way. Great vacuum tho.
I found it worked really well on hard wood floors . Way less water then using a mop . Takes some getting used to . Thanks for commenting and support of my channel 👍🛎
These machines are useless to clean up after pets soil your floors.
I have a GSD my self , she has soiled carpet , I have a video on how to clean it with kirby and stop smell .
