cleaning upholstery
Continue using dry strokes until you see only a little
solution coming up through the nozzle (front of extractor)
or recovery tank lid.
Do not make the carpet too wet!
Use no more than two
sets of forward and backward strokes while releasing
solution. Always follow with dry strokes - the more the
better.
Listen carefully! When the motor sound changes (rises in
pitch), the recovery tank needs to be emptied. When water
has reached the maximum capacity in the recovery tank,
the float will rise to the top of the tank and the cleaner will
NOT pick up dirty solution.
Allow carpet to dry. Avoid walking on the carpet until it is
dry. Increased air circulation (open doors, turn on fans, etc.)
will help carpet dry thoroughly.
Vacuum thoroughly after carpet has dried. This will reduce
any shading left by the carpet cleaner’s brushes.
NOTE:
No cleaning solution removes all stains from all
carpets. Stain removal varies with the type of spill, time
passed before removal, carpet material, and carpet type.

IMPORTANT:
Check fabric manufacturer’s
instructions to confirm that it is alright to use your
carpet cleaner to clean the upholstery.
Vacuum upholstery thoroughly with your vacuum
cleaner’s attachments.
Test solution for colorfastness on a hidden area of
upholstery. Wet a white cloth or paper towel with some
solution. Gently rub onto a hidden area of upholstery.
Wait ten minutes. Blot with white cloth or paper towel
and check for color transfer.
