Tip:
Deep cleaning
carpeting and
upholstery with
BISSELL Multi-
Allergen Removal
Formula regularly
can reduce dust
mite waste and
allergens in your
home.
Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS” on the
tag means you can use your ProHeat Pro-Tech. If the tag is
coded with “X” or “S” (with a diagonal strike through), or says
“Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed. The Scotchgard
protectant
is not recommended for use on velvet, silk, 100% cotton
upholstery, vinyl or leather. If manufacturer’s tag is missing or
not coded, check with your furniture dealer.
Check for colorfastness in an inconspicuous place.
If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing
may bleed through fabric when wet.
Plan activities to give upholstery time to dry.
Vacuum thoroughly to pick up loose debris and pet hair.
Use a vacuum with a brush attachment and a crevice
tool to clean in fabric folds and tufts.
Set up the machine following instructions in The
Features section, pages 6-9.
Use Fiber Cleansing Formula in SmartMix tank.
Set the ReadyTools dial to Tools or PreTreat.
* SmartTemp heats the cleaning solution for carpet
and bare floor application only. It does not heat
solution sprayed through the accessory tools.
Set SmartMix Dial to Normal.
Choose the 4” Small Area Tool, the Tough Stain Brush, or
the Spraying Crevice Tool and connect to the flex hose.
Plug into a proper outlet and turn Power Switch ON.
While pressing the trigger, slowly move the spraying tool back
and forth over the soiled surface. Release the trigger to suction
soiled water.
Continue to clean soiled area, working in small sections,
until no more dirt can be removed.
Caution: Do not overwet.
When the cleaning job is complete refer to the
Maintenance section for machine cleanup and storage
instructions on page 17-20.
