Do not use
polishing brushes on carpet or

carpet.)
2. Fill tank
Prepare shampoo solution fol-

Fill tank according to the area be-

maximum of 4 quarts (3.75 liters).
Each quart (liter) of solution will
shampoo an area approximately 3

CAUTION: Do not use all-purpose detergents, soaps, ammonia, or
washing soda. They can cause colors to run and may damage carpet

solution may fade colors or cause shrinkage.
