USING YOUR MACHINE
Filling the clean water/solution tank
IMPORTANT:
Test all carpets/rugs/upholstery/hard floors before use. Before using the machine to clean dried on stains and
dirt, the surface should be vacuumed thoroughly.
Test for colourfastness -
Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small hidden area of the surfaces to be cleaned,
gently rub with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for colour removal or bleed with a white paper towel or cloth.
Check all surfaces to be cleaned and if the surface has more than one colour, check all colours.
Test the spot washer on a small hidden area -
If no damage or pile distortion occurs continue cleaning.
Move furniture out of the area to be cleaned. If the furniture cannot be moved, place aluminium foil or wax paper under
the legs. This will prevent wood finishes from staining your carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and curtains.
When using the spot washer, basic safety precautions should always be observed and don’t over saturate your carpets/
rugs/upholstery/hard floors.
Only use with VAX Spot Washer Cleaning Solution or VAX Spot Washer Antibacterial Cleaning Solution. Using other solutions
may cause excess foaming and will invalidate your guarantee.
The clean water/solution tank should only be filled with warm water (max 40⁰C). Filling the clean water/solution tank with
hot/boiling water will damage your spot washer and invalidate the guarantee.
