Carpet washing
IMPORTANT: Do not use the multifunction cleaner as a dry vacuum when set up in carpet
washing mode.
Before you begin carpet washing:
1. Vacuum your carpet thoroughly.
2. Test for colourfastness – 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 colour
removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If surface has more than one colour, check all
colours.
NOTE: When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of area to be cleaned. For furniture too
heavy to move, place aluminium foil or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood finishes from
staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts or curtains.
Helpful hints for cleaning carpet:
1. Only use Vax recommended cleaning solution with this machine.
2. Do not over saturate carpet with cleaning solution while using the machine.
3. For heavy soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
4. Allow plenty of time for carpet to dry thoroughly.
5. Try not to walk on carpet until it is completely dry.
6. After carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum the carpet using your multifunction cleaner in dry mode.
7. Before cleaning, determine where to start and end, making sure not to walk over previously
cleaned areas.
8. Thoroughly clean the dirty water tank and clean water tank after use with warm water
(max 40°c).
