CLEANING & DRYING GUIDE

CLEANING:

• When applying the cleaning solution, only cover the stain at the beginning of the cleaning process. Avoid oversaturating the area, or continual spraying during cleaning.
• For older and tougher stains, allow between 5-20 minutes for the cleaning solution to settle into the stain and get to work.
• For fresh stain cleaning, these can be cleaned immediately after spraying.
• Always agitate the area thoroughly to break up the stain. Brush in multiple directions for best results.
• Always ensure to use the correct solution dilution measures when setting up the unit for cleaning.

DRYING:

• When extracting the liquid, pass over the cleaning area in a uniform pattern, applying downward pressure throughout.
• Angle the hand tool to engage the suction vents parallel to the cleaning surface for optimum suction.
• Continue to pass over the cleaning area until liquid is no longer extracting through the hand tool window.
