Pollet has committed over 10 years to collaborating with top universities to research and develop biotechnology programs that offer easier and healthier ways to clean and eliminate odors. “We’re seeing unexplained levels of fluorine-based compounds in all of the eight samples of turf grass blades we’ve looked at,” says Jeff Gearhart of the Ecology Center, a nonprofit environmental research group based in Michigan that tested the turf blades. These results were easy for us to come by, too, because the machine has what the brand has dubbed iLoop Smart Sensor Technology that automatically manages suction, water flow, and brush roll speed to handle various messes. You will still need to be handle the dirty water basin, though (we’ve yet to meet a machine that eliminates this task!).

Koh’s Universal Surface Cleaner is made up of pure water and potassium hydroxide – an inorganic compound used to make soap and cleaning solutions (you may have heard it called caustic potash or lye). We utilized it in between each test, and it really seemed to make a difference, in a good way, for how the machine performed overall. Water softeners: Malfunctioning water softeners disrupt good bacteria, release waste into the field, and cause problems in the tank.
