Preparing The Carpet
IMPORTANT! Do not use the
shampooer as a dry vacuum.
1
Vacuum carpeted surfaces
thoroughly. Use a vacuum cleaner
with a Powerhead for best results.
2
Remove as much furniture from
the room as possible. For furniture
that cannot be removed place
plastic or foil under and around
the legs of the furniture and only
remove when the carpet has dried
completely.
