CLEANING UPHOLSTERY
Optional accessory tool is required.
NOTE: This machine cleans most synthetic
upholstery. Fabrics like Herculon and synthetic will
clean with excellent results. Extraction cleaning is not
recommended for most cottons, silks, wools or natural
fiber velvets. Use extra caution when cleaning
reupholstered furniture, fabric beneath new fabric may
bleed and discolor new fabric.
ATTENTION: When cleaning upholstery, always
check cleaning instructions sewn in furniture by
manufacturer.
1.
Vacuum the upholstery before cleaning.
2.
Test fabric for colorfastness: Pour a small amount
of recommended cleaning solution on a white
cloth. From an area of the upholstery that is
hidden from view, hold cloth on upholstery for one
minute. If color does not transfer to cloth it should
be safe to clean.
3.
Attach the optional accessory hand tool to the
vacuum and solution hoses.
4.
Place hand tool on fabric and squeeze trigger
while applying pressure on fabric and slowly pull
tool backwards. Be careful not to over wet
upholstery. Repeat stroke without spray to get
fabric as dry as possible. Overlap cleaning strokes
to avoid streaking (Figure 8).
