Cleaning upholstery and
automobile interiors
Read “Before you begin cleaning” instructions on page 7.
Be sure to check the cleaning code on your upholstery.
Use
your deep cleaner only on upholstery marked “W” or “W/S”.
Turn deep cleaner ON.
Gently press the nozzle onto the fabric. Press the solution
trigger and slowly pull the nozzle over the fabric.
Overlap strokes by one-half inch to help prevent streaking.
To clean in corners or creases, lift the nozzle one-half inch from
the fabric and press the solution trigger. Vacuum up the solution
with the nozzle without pressing the trigger.
Make additional strokes without pressing the trigger to remove
more moisture.
For heavily soiled areas, it may be necessary to repeat the
cleaning process. Make crisscrossing strokes to the original
pattern; overlap each pass.
Make no more than 2 passes with the solution over any one
area to prevent overwetting and damage to fabric.
When finished cleaning, follow “After cleaning” instructions on
page 8 and “After using stair/upholstery nozzle” instructions on
pages 10-11.
If additional cleaning is necessary, wait until the upholstery is
completely dry before using the nozzle again.
