SELECTION

 

 

Caution:

 

After

 

a

 

pass

 

or

 

two

 

the

 

carpet

 

fibers

 

have

 

been

 

fully

 

agitated

 

and

 

pile

 

lifted.

 

If

 

additional

 

cleaning

 

of

 

an

 

area

 

is

 

re

‐

quired,

 

allow

 

fibers

 

to

 

dry,

 

vacuum

 

then

 

repeat

 

process.

 

Continuous

 

passes

 

over

 

the

 

same

 

area

 

with

 

any

 

brush

 

may

 

damage

 

the

 

carpet

 

fibers.

 

Use

 

with

 

caution.

   

Even

 

the

 

softest

 

brush

 

can

 

cause

 

damage

 

if

 

operated

 

repeatedly

 

in

 

one

 

area.

 

The

 

best

 

advise

 

is

 

to

 

be

 

safe.

 

In

 

heavily

 

matted/soiled

 

areas,

 

operate

 

machine

 

with

 

overlapping

 

passes,

 

then

 

operate

 

at

 

right

‐

angle

 

if

 

possible.

 

Do

 

not

 

use

 

any

 

more

 

than

 

two

 

passes

 

in

 

each

 

direction

 

in

 

a

 

single

 

cleaning

 

operation.

 

Repeated

 

operations

 

over

 

a

 

few

 

days

 

or

 

weeks

 

is

 

sometimes

 

necessary

 

in

 

situations

 

where

 

abuse

 

and

 

neglect

 

(under

 

cleaning

 

or

 

improper

 

chemistry)

 

have

 

occurred.

 

It

 

is

 

not

 

acceptable

 

in

 

any

 

situation

 

to

 

ask

 

more

 

of

 

the

 

machine

 

and

 

process

 

than

 

is

 

seen

 

in

 

two

 

passes

 

each

 

direction.
