CARPET CARE
SHAMPOOING
DISCONNECT CORD FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET,
Attach the shampoo brushes.
Vacuum the carpet first to remove any loose
dirt.
Remove the furniture from room, or protect
its legs with a heavy plastic or aluminum foil.
Test the color fastness of your carpet by
applying a small undiluted amount of shampoo
directly to the carpet with a sponge on a small
hidden area. If the color holds, you can proceed
to shampoo the rest of your carpet.
Remove dispenser tank and fill with a carpet
shampoo, diluted as indicated on the container
it is recommended to put the water in first to
avoid foaming.
Do not overfill the tank. Allow at least one
inch air space to avoid spilling.
Attach dispenser.
Plug cord into electrical outlet. Lower handle
into operating position. Turn switch to proper
speed as indicated on the switch box label.
Clean small areas of 3 X 3 feet at a time using
small, circular and overlapping strokes. Dispense
liquid until a small uniform film of foam
appears.
AVOID SOAKING, Mildewing or discolorations
may occur.
Continue to shampoo until the foam disappears,
then proceed to another area.
Do not apply pressure. Light contact with the
rug is sufficient for thorough cleaning.
When shampooing a large area, the container
may need to be refilled. Always unplug the
shampooer and remove the dispenser before
refilling. At this time it may be convenient to
check the brushes and remove any carpet fibers
with a comb.
After shampooing, disconnect cord form
electrical outlet. Remove and wash brushes,
and flush the dispensing system.
Allow carpeting to dry thoroughly, preferably
overnight. Ventilating the room or using a fan
may reduce drying time. If you need to walk
over wet carpet, protect it with a white doth
or towel.
Vacuum carpet to remove any dirt freed by
shampooing.
