befOre YOu beGin CleaninG
a. Vacuum thoroughly
- For carpet, use a Hoover
®
vacuum cleaner with an agitator for best results.
Vacuum upholstery with a vacuum cleaner with
cleaning tool attachments. Use a crevice tool to
reach into tufts and folds. Do not use the SteamVac
®
carpet cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
b. For upholstery,
check cleaning code - Use your
HOOVER
®
SteamVac
®
carpet cleaner only if the
upholstery fabric is marked with a “W” (for “wet”
clean) or “S/W” (for “solvent/dry” or “wet” clean). Do
not clean fabric marked “S” (“solvent/dry” clean
only). If your upholstery does not have a code, seek
professional assistance.
C. test for colorfastness
- Mix detergent and
water according to the instructions under “Fill Clean
Water Solution Tank” on pages 8. Wet a white
absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden
area, gently rub the surface with the dampened
cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for color removal
or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If surface
has more than one color, check all colors.
d. When cleaning entire floor
, move furniture out
of area to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only
high traffic areas are to be cleaned). For furniture
too heavy to move, place aluminum foil or wax
paper under legs. This will prevent wood finishes
from staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and
draperies.
e. Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas
with
HOOVER
®
Spot and Stain Spray Cleaner- Test
Spot and Stain Spray Cleaner for colorfastness by
first spraying it on a hidden area; wait ten minutes
and blot with white paper towels or cloth.
If no color change is visible, spray Spot and Stain
Spray Cleaner onto spots and traffic areas. Wait at
least ten minutes. Use your SteamVac
®
carpet
cleaner to pick up Spot and Stain Spray Cleaner
and spot. Repeat until spot is removed; carefully
scrub with a household scrub brush if necessary.
Do not saturate carpet or upholstery with Spot and
Stain Spray Cleaner.
No cleaning solution removes all stains from all
carpets. Stain removal varies with the type of spill,
time elapsed before removal, carpet material, and
carpet type.
F. to prevent staining
, use plastic or aluminum foil
to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible
water spray.
G. to avoid wetting and possible damage
to
wood floors underneath area rugs/carpet, either
move area rugs/carpet to a non-wood hard floor
surface or place waterproof material (e.g. plastic)
underneath them before cleaning. If rinsing is
desired, be careful not to over-wet the carpet or
upholstery.
Allow time for carpet or upholstery to dry completely
between cleaning and rinsing. To rinse, follow the
same procedure for cleaning only using hot tap
water with no detergent in the upper Clean Water
Solution Tank.
H. empty tanks
, rinse with clear water and let air
dry. Rinse the Clean Water Solution Tank cap and
Dirty Water Tank lid and let air dry.

the room farthest from the door or path to sink
where tanks will be emptied and filled.

operating position; turn carpet cleaner ON.
3.2 Squeeze trigger to release cleaning solution
and slowly push carpet cleaner forward (equals one
