• Cleaning upholstery which is covered with fabrics
that are not compatible with wet cleaning may
result in damage to the fabric. Know what the
fabric is and how it may be cleaned before using
the ORECK STEEMER cleaner.
• Check the stuffing material if possible. Look inside
cushions and underneath the furniture. If the filling
is colored, it may bleed through and discolor the
furniture. Most modern stuffing material is light
colored and colorfast.
• To remove loose dirt, vacuum upholstery thoroughly
with a ORECK vacuum cleaner or other vacuum
cleaner.
• If the upholstery is being cleaned for the first time,
CHECK FOR COLORFASTNESS. Test a small, area
several hours before starting to clean upholstery.
Pour a small amount of STEEMER Full Release™
Professional Upholstery Shampoo on a clean white
cloth and blot upholstery. Examine the cloth for
color removal. If color appears on cloth, the
upholstery is not colorfast and should not be
cleaned with wet extraction methods. Let test area
dry completely. Inspect for changes in color,
bleeding, stretching or shrinkage. Test another area
if in doubt. This product is not recommended
for use on silk, velvet, wool and some
cotton blends.

SMALL SPILL PICK-UPS
Small spills are typical household events. When
liquid is accidentally spilled within the home, the
liquid usually spreads out quickly into a wide area in
a thin sheet.
In such cases, the ORECK STEEMER can be a fast
and easy tool to assist in most types of spill pick-ups.
Several key precautions must be followed to insure
operator safety:
1. Always test and reset the STEEMERA.L.C.I. plug.
2. Do not immerse the power nozzle of the ORECK
STEEMER.
3. Do not allow the lower recovery tank to overfill.
4. Do not pick up corrosive, combustible, or
flammable liquids such as acids, gasoline,
alcohol, or use this product in areas where vapors
from these types of materials are present.
5. Do not use to clean out bathtubs, flooded
basements or any place where the liquid depth
exceeds
1
⁄8”.
