The Quick Dry System
Quick Dry is a patented product and machine system allowing you the unique option to choose ultra fast drying OR
deep cleaning.
In Quick Dry mode –
Cleaning solution is used at a higher concentration level and less liquid is applied than when used in
Deep Clean mode. The added Quick Dry product allows more intensive cleaning and creates a sheeting action to accelerate
drying. This results in carpet that is dry to the touch in less than half the time – often in only 1-2 hours. Quick Dry mode is
ideal for routine maintenance cleaning and spot cleaning high traffic areas.
In Deep Clean mode –
For heavily soiled carpets, the recommended dilution rate is less. Deep Clean mode allows more
solution to be applied so as to penetrate beyond the surface of the carpet. This higher flow rate and greater volume of liquid
flushes dirt and contaminants out from deep within carpet fiber.
To complement the Quick Dry Carpet Cleaner, Rug Doctor manufactures a complete line of other cleaning products
including Upholstery Cleaner and Hi-Traffic Pre-Treatment for ground-in dirt plus solutions for problem areas like spots or
odors from spills, pets or other sources. Contact your Rug Doctor distributor for information on these products - visit
www.rugdoctorpro.com or www.rugdoctor.co.uk.
IMPORTANT
Rug Doctor Pro machines and Rug Doctor Pro cleaning products are safe for most carpets and many fabrics, even
delicate fibers. HOWEVER, you risk damage to carpets and fabrics not intended for water extraction method cleaning.
DO NOT use or place the Rug Doctor Pro machine or cleaning products on:
Natural fiber oriental rugs (silk or wool),
hand-loomed wool rugs, braided rugs, sisal or jute carpets, hardwood or laminate flooring.
Do not use Rug Doctor
machines or products to clean
: Fabric with cleaning codes S or X, silk, Haitian cotton, velour, brushed corduroy,
leather or non-colorfast fabrics, mattresses or mattress toppers made with memory foam, foam or goose down.
(Some stains require professional treatment.) Use cool water when cleaning wool, wool blends or delicate fibers.
To avoid damage, do not place the machine or hand tool on hardwood or laminate flooring or allow any solution or
overspray to contact such flooring.
Rug Doctor Pro Quick Dry machines can be used with optional attachments and products for cleaning ceilings, walls, hard
surface floors and upholstery. If you use the Quick Dry machine for more than one cleaning application, every care has been
taken to ensure safe, effective products and top quality results when applied correctly. ALWAYS use Rug Doctor Pro products
to assure compatibility of cleaning products across the variety of possible applications and to achieve proper results.
IMPORTANT:
Whenever using the machine for more than one type of cleaning application, you should always drain and rinse
the machine’s lower tank of liquid or residue before mixing another solution.
To assure proper results, test carpets and upholstery for colorfastness.
Wet an inconspicuous area with a small
amount of cleaner/water solution. After 1-2 minutes, blot with a white paper towel and check for color transfer. If color shows
on the towel, the carpet or upholstery is probably not meant for water extraction cleaning.
Read Instructions Completely Before Using
Cleaning guidelines:
If cleaning an entire room, move furniture to center of the room. Begin cleaning where furniture was,
then return furniture to its original location. Avoid staining carpet by blocking up or by placing aluminum foil under
furniture legs until carpet is completely dry.
For faster drying in Deep Clean mode:
Ventilate area. Open doors and windows or place fans pointed downward
on carpet. Turn on heat in damp or cold weather. Turn on air conditioner in humid or hot weather.
1. If desired, move furniture. Use a normal dry vacuum cleaner to sweep area and remove loose dirt before using
the Quick Dry machine. This helps keep the brushes and water vacuum system efficient for better results.
2. Pre-treat any special problem areas with appropriate Rug Doctor Pro cleaners.
3. Choose setting (Quick Dry or Deep Clean) by turning selector knob to correct position at machine back (ILLUS. 1).
Mix hot tap water in a clean bucket with product (ILLUS. 2). Water should not be so hot as to scald or burn skin.
In Quick Dry Mode - Mix 30 to 60 mL of Rug Doctor Pro Quick Dry Carpet Cleaner
product per litre
of water.
In Deep Clean Mode
-
Mix 15 to 30 mL of Quick Dry Carpet Cleaner
per litre of water.
4. Lower restraining wire
and remove white UPPER tank
.
5. Fill LOWER tank
with the cleaning solution you just mixed by pouring through the white filter screen (ILLUS.
3). Machine is full when liquid halfway covers filter screen.
6. If using
Rug Doctor Pro Anti-Foam
, add 60 to 120 mL to white UPPER tank . Slip tank back in place and
seal tank and clear dome
securely by replacing restraining wire
.
7. Check the back of the machine to ensure hose connections are secure and
set up to clean carpet instead of upholstery (ILLUS. 1).
8. Plug power cord in and position machine. Refer to label on top of machine
. Press the switch for “CARPET” cleaning on the top of the machine,
then press the “VACUUM ON” switch.
9. While depressing the red button on the handle
, pull machine slowly
and steadily backward in a straight line, keeping vacuum slot
against
the carpet surface (illus. 4). (Please be advised that if you move too slowly
you may risk over-wetting the carpet.) You will begin to see soiled solution
entering the clear dome . (If you don’t, stop and refer to the Troubleshooting section.) IMPORTANT: When
depressing handle button keep machine moving so vibrating brush does not agitate in one place.
