Manual Carpet Shampooer
The Cascade is intended for the domestic market. It is designed to be used on carpets & rugs. Best results will be obtained by reading the following instructions carefully.
Before use
Vacuum the carpet to remove surface debris before applying the foam shampoo.
It is advisable to test the carpet for colour fastness prior to use. To do
this, mix a little of the foam shampoo and water to the specified dilution,
apply to a clean cloth and then clean a small area of carpet, ideally one
which is normally hidden from view.
Shampoo
For best results the shampoo should be mixed: 10 part water to 1 part shampoo
i.e. 10 cups of water to 1 cup of shampoo, or you can use the filling marks on
the rear of tank produces the same results (10 to 1 mix).
