Pre-treating

Cleaning effectiveness will be enhanced if you 

pre-treat heavily stained or highly-soiled areas. 

Here’s how to do it:

1. 

Hold the tool just above the surface of the  

carpet or upholstery to be cleaned. Press the 

spray trigger to release a spray of cleaning  

solution directly onto the soiled area.

2. 

Wait 3-5 minutes before cleaning.

Cleaning with your portable deep cleaner

1. 

Hold the tool approximately 2.5 cm above the 

soiled surface. Press the spray trigger to apply 

the cleaning solution to the soiled area. Raise  

the tool slighty to check for spray. 

2. 

Using the brush on the tool, gently scrub  

the area to be cleaned.

3. 

For thorough cleaning, spray additional  

solution while the brush and suction are in  

contact with the surface.

4. 

Apply downward pressure on the tool and  

pull it toward you. The suction will remove the 

dirt and cleaning solution. Continue until no 

more dirt can be removed.

5. 

As a final step, use “drying strokes” (by not 

pressing the spray trigger) to remove as much 

liquid/moisture as possible. Repeat this step  

as often as necessary.

Operations

WARNING

Keep spray away from face. Failure to do  

so may result in personal injury.

IMPORTANT

Check the manufacturer’s tag before 

cleaning upholstery. “W” or “WS” on the 

tag means you can use your portable deep 

cleaner. If tag is coded with an “S” (with 

diagonal strike-through), or says “Dry Clean 

Only,” do not proceed. If manufacturer’s tag 

is missing or not coded, check with your 

furniture dealer.

»  Deep cleaning stairs and high-traffic areas on  

a regular basis helps prolong carpet life. 

»  Check upholstery stuffing before cleaning.  

Colored stuffing may bleed through the fabric  

when it becomes wet.

»  Before turning off the portable deep cleaner, suction 

up clean water to thoroughly rinse out the interior of 

the flex hose. Then, lift the tool and point it upwards 

to drain any remaining water into the dirty water/

collection tank.
