SPECIAL INFORMATION
When you clean some plush carpets, you may notice a “pilling” effect. (Pilling occurs
when fluffy particles appear on carpet surfaces; it is caused by fibers that loosen
because of a weak twist or snags.)
With an RX20, loose yarns form balls and are kicked aside as the cleaning heads
revolve. This is normal when aggressive cleaning or even normal vacuuming takes
place, as evidenced by a number of detached, loose yarns in the vacuum cleaner bag.
These loose yarns, in most cases, are short staple yarns or filler yarns used to give the
carpet a denser appearance.
Because your RX20 weighs approximately 80 lbs and rests on five 4” cleaning heads,
the yarns are not sucked up into the vacuum heads as they are with a vacuum cleaner
or old-style cleaning wand.
On older, rubber backed, glued down carpets that may be delaminating with
age, the RX20 may cause further delamination. When in doubt, DO NOT use
your RX20 on such carpets.
CLEANING HINTS
1. Most cleaners customarily clean their way out of
an area or room. With the RX20, you can clean
into an area or room, as shown in the Figure 5-1,
so that the hoses are dragged behind you during
the cleaning process rather than kicked out of the
way as you back out of an area. The “cleaning
into” method works especially well in hallways or
confined areas.
2. The RX20 is a very aggressive carpet cleaning
power head and will leave the carpet with a
freshly cleaned appearance. The carpet should
be brushed or groomed after the cleaning
process to remove any swirl marks left behind.
3. The RX20 has been very successful in restoring badly matted traffic lanes in front
of doorways and sofas. Even pivot areas can be brought back to life again, in most
cases. “Cornrowing” in hallways can also be eliminated with minimal effort.
