Cleaning methods
1. Spray and vacuum up the cleaning solution in one
step.
Note
Repeated vacuuming without spraying shortens the dry-
ing time.
Heavily soiling or stains
1. Apply cleaning solution with the suction turbine
switched off and let it work for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Clean the area as with normal soiling.
Upholstery cleaning
1. Adv only: Attach the upholstery nozzle instead of the
floor nozzle (with suction pipe and handle).
2. Use less detergent for sensitive fabrics and spray
the surface at a distance of approx. 200 mm. Then
only vacuum.
● Spray heavily soiled areas in advance and allow the
cleaning solution to work for 5 to 10 minutes.
● Always work from light to shadow (from window to
door).
● Always work from the cleaned to the uncleaned ar-
ea.
● The more sensitive the covering (oriental bridges,
Berber, upholstery fabric) the lower the concentra-
tion of detergent.
● Carpets with jute backs can shrink and bleed in col-
our if the work is too wet.
● Brush wet pile carpets in the direction of the pile af-
ter cleaning when wet (e.g. with a fibre brush or
scrubber).
● Impregnating after wet cleaning prevents the textile
from being quickly soiled again.
● To avoid pressure points or rust stains, do not walk
on or furnish the cleaned area until after it has fully
dried.
● To improve the cleaning result, rinse the object with
clean water after using detergents.
