5 - Cleaning Information
CLEANING PATTERNS
For regular carpet cleaning, use an overlapping arc pattern, two times over the same
area (one pass with solution and one pass for drying). When cleaning carpets, first clean
in circular pattern, then use the overlapping arc pattern to dry the area (see Figure 5-1).
Dirtiest areas may require two or more cleaning passes. Using either pattern,
you should develop a comfortable rhythm. To obtain maximum performance from
your PowerHead, move it slowly and deliberately with a 50% overlap, giving it
time to clean and extract. (Unlike a manual wand, the PowerHead is doing the
work you had to do in the past) A steady pace rather than a frenzied one will
increase efficiency and production and decrease fatigue.
The following cautions should be observed while cleaning:
DO NOT operate your PowerHead over metal floor moldings. Damage to both the
molding and the cleaning head will result.
DO NOT operate your PowerHead on hardwood floors. Damage to the floor could
result.
