CAUTION:
Use
o n l y B I S S E L L F i b e r
Cleansing Formula
™ in
your POWERSTEAMER. ®
Use of cleaning formulas
which contain lemon
or pine oil may damage
this appliance and void
warranty. Chemical spot
cleaners or solvent-
based soil removers
should not be used.
These products may
react with the plastic
materials used in your
POWERSTEAMER,
® causing
cracking or pitting.
1. Plan activities to give carpet time to dry.
2. Remove easily moved furniture (chairs, lamps, coffee/
cocktail tables, etc.) from room.
3. Vacuum carpet thoroughly.
4. Decide where to begin–and end–your job. Clean in 3’ x 4’
sections, starting in areas farthest from exit. Plan to leave a
path open to empty soiled water and refill cleaner.
5. Carpeting will dry in three to four hours, depending on carpet
style and air circulation in room. A floor fan speeds drying.
6. Replace furniture on damp carpeting by placing waxed
paper under furniture legs until floor dries completely.
How to begin...
Deep cleaning carpet
1. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on
the tag means you can use your POWERSTEAMER. ® If tag is
coded with an “X” or “S” (with diagonal strike-through), or
says “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. Do not use on velvet
or silk.
2. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with
your furniture dealer.
3. Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.
4. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing may
bleed through fabric when wet.
Deep cleaning upholstery
Always vacuum thoroughly before
you deep clean. If possible, move
larger furniture to an area you
will not be cleaning.
Tip:
Deep cleaning
carpeting and
upholstery
regularly can
reduce dust and
allergens in
your home.
