Using Your Canister Vapor Cleaner
Wood, Vinyl, and Marble Floors
Use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush with a Terry Cloth Towel attached. Move
the brush across the floor as if you are mopping. When the towel is soiled, you can
turn the towel over or replace it with a clean towel. If you are working on a very dirty
area, move the brush over the area slowly several times. If it is a wood floor, move
fast to avoid heat or moisture buildup in the wood. By cleaning with the towel over
the brush, you will not affect the shine on the floor.
To Strip Wax: Use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush for open areas; Small
Detail Brush for corners or tight areas - no towel, slow strokes. Work a small area
at a time - remove the emulsified wax from the floor. When all of the wax has been
stripped, immediately clean the floor and brushes with water before residue has a
chance to harden on them. Go back over the stripped area with the rectangular
brush with a towel attached to remove any remaining residue before waxing.
To Clean Waxed Floors: Wrap clean towel around the Rectangular Floor/Carpet
Brush. Brush to remove dirt.
Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to build up on any kind of vinyl, since it can soften
it enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.
Tile Floors: Use the Concentrator Nozzle with the Small Detail Brush attached to
an Extension Wand. Have the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush with cloth attached
ready as well. Clean the grout of the tile with the Small Detail Brush. Remove the
detail attachment and attach the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush move the brush
across the floor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue. For
areas of tile that are very dirty, remove the towel and agitate with the brush. Do not
let the area dry before you wipe it up.
Carpets: Vacuum the entire carpet area first. Use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet
Brush with Carpet Glider and a cloth attached (you might need two Terry Cloth
Towels to eliminate drag). Move slowly over the area allowing the vapor to
penetrate the carpet. The cloth will absorb the excess moisture and residue. For
spot cleaning, use the Concentrator Nozzle without a brush. Remember - the towel
is your "extractor" in this process. Do not vacuum again while the cleaned area is
still warm. Do not linger too long in one place - normal back and forth motion used
in cleaning a carpet prevents heat build up in the fibers.
Warning:
• Do not vacuum the carpet while it is still warm. The dirt from your vacuum cleaner
may be redeposited into the carpet.
• Some carpets do not have secured colorfast dyes. Do not start cleaning your
carpet before first testing a small inconspicuous area.
