Cleaning methods

Normal soiling
Spray and vacuum up the cleaning solution in one step.

Note
Repeated vacuuming without spraying shortens the drying 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
3. Store the device in a dry room and secure it against unauthorised use.

Upholstery cleaning
Use less detergent for sensitive fabrics and spray the surface at a distance of approx. 200 mm. Then only vacuum.

Cleaning tips

• 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 area.
• The more sensitive the covering (oriental bridges, Berber, upholstery fabric) the lower the concentration of detergent.
• Carpets with jute backs can shrink and bleed in colour if the work is too wet.
• Brush wet pile carpets in the direction of the pile after 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
