Before cleaning, determine where to start and
end, making sure not to walk over previously
cleaned areas.
CHECK FOR COLOUR FASTNESS:
Before cleaning carpet, test for colour fastness.
Dampen a white cloth with solution. Test on an
inconspicuous area. Gently rub the cloth over the area.
Check each colour for colour bleeding. If the cloth
remains clean, it should be safe to clean the carpet.
AFTER CLEANING:
• Allow carpet to dry completely. Try not to walk on
the carpet until it is dry.
• If it is necessary to walk on the carpet, place white
towels on the areas to be walked on.
• If the carpet is not dry and the furniture must be
placed back in the room, use plastic or foil under
the furniture to prevent staining the carpet.
• Thoroughly clean the dirty water tank with warm
(max 40
o
