Before you begin cleaning:
Vacuum carpet and
upholstery thoroughly with a
Hoover
®
vacuum before use.
Don’t use the carpet cleaner
as a dry vacuum cleaner.
Use your Hoover
®
carpet
washer only if upholstery
fabric is marked with a “W”
(for “wet” clean) or “S/W” (for
“solvent/dry” or “wet” clean).
Don’t clean fabric marked “S”
(“solvent/dry” clean only).
Test for colorfastness in a
small, hidden area. Gently
rub surface with a dampened
white cloth. Wait ten minutes
and check for color removal
or bleed with a white
paper towel.
Move furniture out of area to
be cleaned. Place aluminum
foil or wax paper under
legs of furniture too heavy
to move to prevent wood
finishes from staining carpet.
Pin up furniture skirts
and draperies.

plastic) underneath them
before cleaning.
