How to Use a Carpet Cleaner

A little preparation makes a big difference.

Before you start

• Move light furniture out of the room.
• Vacuum slowly in two directions.
• Pre-treat stains and wait as directed.
• Fill with warm water and the correct amount of solution.

Cleaning

1. Start at the far corner.
2. Push forward slowly while spraying, pull back slowly.
3. Do two dry passes for every wet pass.
4. Overlap passes slightly.
5. Empty the dirty tank before it’s full.

Compare upright models.
