Cleaning methods
Normally dirty carpets:
In the normal spray-extraction process
the cleaning solution is sprayed and
vacuumed up immediately.
Vacuuming again without spraying
shortens the drying time.
On very dirty surfaces or stains:
First spray cleaning solution on to
these areas and leave it to take effect
for approx. 10–15 mins. Then go over
the areas as already described.
To get the best results, go over the area
again with clean warm water only. In
this way the residue of detergent is
reduced further and the dissolved dirt
fully washed away.
Tips for working with the cleaner
Carpeting, carpets and above all
genuine Oriental carpets should be
tested in an inconspicuous place to
make sure they are colourfast and
water resistant
– The more sensitive the covering
(Oriental rugs, Berber carpets,
upholstery material), the less detergent
should be used.
– Hemp-backed carpeting can shrink if
too much water is used and the colour
will run.
– Brush deep pile carpets when they are
wet in the direction of the pile (e.g. with
a pile brush or scrubber).
– You will achieve better cleaning results
if you use warm water (up to a max.
122 °F/+50 °C).
– Spray badly stained areas separately
and leave the detergent for 5–10 mins
to take effect.
– Always work from light to dark, that
means from windows to doors.
– Always work from the cleaned area to
the non-cleaned area.
– After a textile covering has been
cleaned, it should be treated to prevent
it from becoming dirty again too quickly.
We recommend the use of our Care
Tex RM 762 with dirt repellent and
antistatic agent.
– Do not walk on cleaned areas or place
furniture on them until they have dried
(risk of rust stains or pressure marks).
– For carpets which have been
shampooed, the foam in the dirty-water
reservoir has to be neutralised.
Detergents
Environmental note: We recommend you
use detergents sparingly out of
consideration for the environment. Please
follow precisely the instructions about
how much to use.
Caution: To prevent injury to health or
damage to property, please observe all
instructions which are included with the
detergents used.
Closing down
Empty fresh-water tank
Note: The fresh-water tank can be
emptied simply by suction.
Turn off spray function (water pump).
Press the valve handle of the floor
nozzle and the pressure in the system
will be discharged.
Take floor nozzle off spray-suction
hose.
Hold suction hose in the unused
cleaning solution in the fresh-water
tank and switch on the unit with the
“suction” button (Fig. 9).
The cleaning solution which has been
suctioned off collects in the dirty-water
reservoir.
Take out dirty-water reservoir and
empty it.
