^'LEANING CARPET"
No cleaning solution removes all stains .from all
carpets. .Stain .removal .varies..with the type, of
spill, .time passed...before.removal, carpet material
and .carpet type....... . . . . . ■■■...... .

Remove lightweight furniture (tables, lamps, etc.)
from area to be cleaned. Protect any remaining fur­
niture by pinning up furniture skirts and placing alu­
minum foil or plastic under legs.
Vacuum carpet thoroughly to remove loose dirt,
hair, lint and other debris.
Test for coiorfastness on a hidden area of carpet.
Wet a white cloth or paper towel with some deter­
gent. Gently rub onto a hidden area of carpet. Wait
ten minutes. Blot with white cloth or paper towel
and check for color transfer.
Pretreat spots, stains and high traffic areas with
Spot and Stain Spray. Spray spot or area with Spot
and Stain Spray. Then proceed with the next clean­
ing steps.
Fill solution tank according to directions under
“Operating Instructions”. Use the recommended
detergents in your carpet cleaner.
Plan your cleaning to avoid walking on wet car­
pet. Start at the end of the room farthest from the
exit and work in small sections.
Step on handle release pedal and lower handle.
Turn cleaner ON.
^^Squeeze and hold trigger (A) to release
^■^cleaning solution. Push cleaner forward
SLOWLY, then pull it back SLOWLY.
Let go of trigger and push cleaner over same
area to pick up dirty solution without putting down
more solution. Continue using dry strokes until you
see only a little solution coming up through the noz­
zle (front of cleaner).
Do not make the carpet too wet! Use no more
than two sets of forward and backward strokes
while releasing solution. Always follow with dry
strokes - the more the better.
Listen carefully! When the motor sound changes
(rises in pitch), the recovery tank needs to be emp­
tied. When water has reached its capacity in the
recovery tank, the cleaner will NOT pick up dirty
solution.
Allow carpet to dry. Avoid walking on the carpet
until it is dry. Increased air circulation (open doors,
turn on fans, etc.) will help carpet dry thoroughly to
prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
Vacuum thoroughly after carpet has dried, this
will reduce any shading left by the carpet cleaner’s
brushes.
