Cleaning methods
Cleaning tips
● Spray heavily soiled areas in advance and allow the
cleaning solution to work for 5 to 10 minutes.
14
● 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.
Note
Warm water (maximum 50 °C) increases the cleaning
effect.
Note
Only use the RM 519 detergent from KÄRCHER for
cleaning.
