How to clean upholstery and small areas
Manufacturer’s Tag
Tip:
Deep cleaning
carpeting and
upholstery
regularly can
reduce dust and
allergens in
your home.
Important - Check Upholstery Tags:
1. Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS”
on the tag means you can use your POWERSTEAMER ®
PROHEAT ™ PLUS. If the tag is coded with “X” or “S” (with a
diagonal strike through), or says “Dry Clean Only,” do not
proceed. Do not use on velvet or silk. If manufacturer’s tag
is missing or not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
2. Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.
3. If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing
may bleed through fabric when wet.
4. Plan activities to give upholstery time to dry.
5. Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and pet hair.
Use a vacuum with a brush attachment and a crevice tool
to clean in fabric folds and tufts.
Machine Preparation:
6. Set up the machine following instructions in The Basics
section, pages 5-9.
7. Use Fiber Cleansing Formula ™ in the SmartMix ® tank.
8. Set the ReadyTools ™ switch on Tools and PreTreat.
* SmartTemp ™ heats the cleaning solution for carpet
and barefloor application only. It does not heat
solution sprayed through the accessory tools.
9. Set SmartMix ® to Normal.

it Away section for machine cleanup and storage
