Safety Rules for DIY Mixes:
- Dawn Dish Soap: ⚠️ WARNING. Standard dish soap creates massive foam when sucked through the motor fan. Excess suds will overflow the dirty water tank and risk burning out the motor. If using dish soap, add only 2-3 drops max per tank.
- White Vinegar (1:4 ratio with water): ✅ Safe for rinsing and breaking down odors, provided you rinse the tank with fresh water afterwards to prevent acid degradation on rubber gaskets.
