Vacuum Carpet
NOTE: Never use this extractor as a standard
vacuum cleaner.
For best results, vacuum carpets with a
vacuum cleaner that has an agitator. The
bristles of the agitator help loosen and remove
soil that is deep in the carpet nap.
A. Pretest for Color Fastness
Before cleaning the carpet, we recommend testing
the carpet for color fastness. Moisten a white towel
with the cleaning solution. Test a small hidden area
of the carpet in a closet or in a corner. Gently rub the
cloth over the carpet. Check each color. If the towel
does not pick up any color, it should be safe to use
the cleaning solution on the entire area. See page 9
for additional information.
B. Remove Furniture
Remove as much furniture from the room as possible.
Place aluminum foil or plastic fi lm under or around the
legs and bases of the remaining furniture to prevent
stains. Leave the foil or plastic in place until the carpet
is completely dry. Use masking tape or pins to hold
furniture skirts and draperies up out of the way.

Helpful Hints for Deep-Cleaning Carpet
Follow the instructions in this ownerʼs guide. Here are a few
extra hints that will make deep-cleaning carpet easier.
•
Before you begin using the extractor, vacuum carpet
thoroughly.
• Do not use the extractor for dry vacuuming as this
can damage the unit.
•
Use consistent forward and reverse strokes over the
carpet surface.
•
Ventilate the room while cleaning to speed drying.
• If the carpet shampooer/extractor is diffi cult to push
when operating, try pushing the cleaner at a different
90 degree angle so it moves with the grain and not
against the grain of the carpet fi bers.
Do Not Use on Oriental rugs.
After Cleaning
• Allow carpets to dry thoroughly. Try to keep children
and pets off the carpet until it is completely dry.
• Use towels or white cloths to step on if you must walk
on the area before it is dry.
•
Wipe cleaning solution from woodwork and wood
furniture immediately to prevent damage to the wood
or upholstery.
• If furniture must be placed back in the room before the
carpet is dry, use aluminum foil or plastic under the
furniture legs to prevent staining the carpet.
