PICKING UP SPIllS
The Hoover SteamVac spotter/carpet cleaner may be
used to pick up small liquid spills (1 gallon or less, never
to exceed 1/4 inch in depth) on carpet.
1. Place floor nozzle with brushes turned to Spill Pick
Up in front of the spill. Pull the nozzle very slowly
over the spill initially with suction only. Repeat with
spray and suction. Although no cleaning solution

treated by following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the carpet being cleaned.
WArNING! Do not use the cleaner to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids
or chemicals.
2. When finished cleaning, follow "After Cleaning"
instructions. (See Page 6)

• Allow brushes and underside of cleaner to air dry
thoroughly before storing cleaner on a carpeted or
wood surface.
NOTE: Do not store cleaner with a full solution
tank in place.
