PREPARING THE CARPET
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE CARPET SHAMPOOER AS A DRY VACUUM.
1. Vacuum carpet thoroughly. Use a Dirt Devil
2. Remove as much furniture from the room as possible. If unable to remove the furniture, place plastic or foil
under and around the legs until the carpet has dried completely.
CHECK FOR COLOR FASTNESS:
Before cleaning carpet, test for color fastness. Dampen a white cloth with solution. Test a small area in a closet.
Gently rub the cloth over the area. Check each color for color bleeding. If the cloth remains clean, it should be
safe to clean the carpet.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR CLEANING CARPET:
1. Do not oversaturate carpet with cleaning solution while using the Carpet Shampooer.
2. For heavily soiled areas, additional applications may be necessary.
3. Allow plenty of time to dry carpet thoroughly.
4. Wipe cleaning solution from woodwork and wood to prevent any damage.
5. Try not to walk on carpet until it is completely dry.
6. After carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum the carpet using a cleaner with a revolving brushroll.
7. Before cleaning, determine where you will start and end, making sure not to walk over previously cleaned
areas.
AFTER CLEANING:
• Allow carpet to dry completely. Try not to walk on the carpet until it is dry.
• If you need to walk on the carpet, place white towels on the areas you want to walk.
• If the carpet is not dry and the furniture must be placed back in the room, use plastic or foil under the furniture
to prevent staining the carpet.
• Thoroughly clean the dirty water tank with hot tap water. See page 11.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE THE CARPET SHAMPOOER IN
