USAGE SUGGESTION FOR SC 50
Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors
Use the floor brush with a terry cloth attached.
Move the brush across the floor as if you are
mopping. When the towel is soiled, you can
turn the towel over or replace it with a clean
towel. If you are working on a very dirty area,
you can move the brush over the area slowly,
several times. If it is a wood floor, move fast to
avoid heat or moisture buildup in the wood.
By cleaning with the towel over the brush, you
will not affect the shine on the floor.
To Strip Wax
: Use floor brush for open areas;
detail brush for corners or tight areas - no towel,
slow strokes. Work a small area at a time - re-
move the emulsified wax from the floor. When
all of the wax has been stripped, immediately
clean the floor and brushes with water before
residue has a chance to harden on them. Go
back over the stripped area with the floor brush
with a towel to remove any remaining residue
before waxing.
To Clean Waxed Floors:
Wrap clean towel
around the floor brush, brush quickly. This will
cause the dirt to be removed but not the
wax.
Vinyl Floors:
Do not allow heat to buildup in
any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it enough
to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.
Tile Floors:
Use the detail attachment with the
detail brush attached to an extension. Have
the floor brush with cloth attached ready as
well. Clean the grout between the tiles with
the detail brush. Remove the detail brush and
attach the floor brush, move the brush across
the floor to clean the tile and remove excess
moisture and residue. For areas of tile that are
very dirty, remove the towel and agitate with
the brush. Do not let the area dry before you
wipe it up.
Spot Cleaning (Carpets)
Use the concentrator nozzle with or without
the detail brush. Move slowly over the soiled
area, allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate
with detail brush or clean towel. Dab the spot
with the towel (do not rub). Repeat as neces-
sary to remove stain. Vacuum only after the
carpet has completely dried. Always test color
fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous area
before cleaning. If your SC50 fails to remove
stubborn stains a commercially available car-
pet shampoo may be required.
Do NOT
add cleaning solutions, scented per-
fumes, oils or any other chemicals to the water
used in this appliance as this may damage the
unit or make it unsafe for use.
Upholstery
Use the floor brush attached directly to the
hand grip with a clean white terry cloth towel.
Use fast, light strokes, avoid getting the fabric
wet. Be patient with stubborn spots; work on
a spot gently for no more than a minute at a
time, then wait five minutes for the area to dry
and repeat. Use circular movements or back-
and-forth and side-to-side movements to get
all sides of surface fibers. Finish with a brush-
ing in one direction that will give the fabric a
uniform appearance.
CAUTION:
Always determine the color-fastness
of any fabric-especially with reds or blues - by
taking a clean, moist, warm towel and gently
rubbing a small area as far down on the back
or other out of the way place on the furniture
as possible. If color comes off on the towel, you
may need to have the piece dry cleaned.
