Before You Clean
A. Vacuum thoroughly - For carpet, use a vacuum cleaner with an agitator for best results.
Do not use the ‘SteamVac’ spotter/carpet cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
B. Test for colorfastness - Mix detergent and water according to the instructions under
“Fill solution tank”.
Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden area, gently rub the
surface with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for color removal or
bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If surface has more than one color, check all colors.
C. When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of area to be cleaned (may not be
necessary if only high traffic areas are to be cleaned).
For furniture too heavy to move, place aluminum foil or wax paper under legs.
This will prevent wood finishes from staining carpet.
Pin up furniture skirts and draperies.
D. Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with HOOVER® PreCleaner* - Test PreCleaner
for colorfastness by first spraying it on a hidden area; wait ten minutes and blot with
white paper towels or cloth.
If no color change is visible, spray Pre-Cleaner onto spots and traffic areas.
Wait at least ten minutes. Use your ‘SteamVac’ cleaner to pick up PreCleaner and spot.
Repeat until spot is removed; carefully scrub with a household scrub brush if necessary.
Do not saturate carpet or upholstery with Pre-Cleaner. *Available at additional cost.
E. To prevent staining - use plastic or aluminum foil to protect wood or metal surfaces
from possible water spray.
F. To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors underneath area rugs/carpet - either
move area rugs/carpet to a non-wood bare floor surface or place waterproof material (e.g.
plastic) underneath them before cleaning.

Cleaning Carpet
Fill clean solution tank (upper tank) according to instructions for Fig. 2.10 through 2.16.
Move speed selector to Gentle Scrub for gentle cleaning or Power Scrub for normal cleaning.
Dry hands and plug cord into a properly grounded outlet.
Do not clean over floor electrical outlets.
To avoid walking on damp carpet, start at the end of the room farthest from the door or path to
sink where tanks will be emptied and filled .
Step on handle release pedal and lower handle to operating position; turn cleaner ON.
Squeeze trigger to release cleaning solution and slowly push cleaner forward (equals one wet
stroke). Continue to squeeze trigger and slowly pull cleaner back toward you (second wet stroke).
Release trigger and slowly push cleaner forward over area just sprayed with solution (dry stroke).
Then slowly pull cleaner back toward you without squeezing trigger (dry stroke). Overlap strokes
by one inch to help prevent streaking.
Keep nozzle flat on floor for both forward and reverse strokes.
For heavily soiled areas, repeat. To avoid saturating carpet, do not use more than 4 wet strokes
over one area. Always end with dry strokes.
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as described above.
For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of carpet, end with more dry strokes.
(Continue using dry strokes until little water is visible passing through the recovery tank lid.)
Empty recovery tank when the motor sound becomes higher pitched and there is a loss in suction
(see Fig. 2.4).
When finished cleaning, follow “After cleaning” instructions (p.11).
