CARPET DEEP CLEANING
Your BENNETT READ ONE is an exceptional carpet deep cleaner. Deep cleaning of your carpets is an essential
part of your home cleaning habits. Vacuuming your carpets is not enough to keep them clean and free from nasty
household allergens. We recommend that (at least once a month) you deep clean your carpets, to keep them free
from harmful allergens, in addition to removing stubborn stains. By following these recommendations you will create
a healthy home, while keeping your carpets,looking great and also extending their life.
BEFORE DEEP CLEANING YOUR CARPETS THERE ARE A FEW PREPARATIONS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
1. Ensure that the carpet you are about to deep clean is thoroughly vacuumed with your BENNETT READ ONE in dry vacuum mode
2. Remove any furniture that may obstruct you during deep cleaning
3. It is advised that deep cleaning takes place as early in the day as possible, to allow ample time for your carpets to dry. Your BENNETT READ ONE will
remove up to 80% of the water used in the deep cleaning process. The remainder of the moisture will dry naturally according to the prevailing weather
conditions. Do not walk on the carpets until they are completely dry. Do not walk on the carpet for at least 4 hours after cleaning
4. When deciding on where to start cleaning a room, always select the corner furthest away from the door to begin and slowly work your way to the
doorway so that you can exit the room without walking on the wet carpet

necessary for your carpet surface. The spray trigger should only be pressed when you need cleaning
solution to be sprayed onto the area being cleaned.

The more cleaning solution you spray onto the carpet, the more time you will spend drying the carpet.

thorough deep cleaning is achieved; you will also need to use the brushes to loosen stubborn stains and dirt from your carpet.

way to the bottom of the mattress.
EMPTYING THE DIRT COLLECTION TANK
Your BENNETT READ ONE has an advanced warning system to prevent over-filling of the dirt collection tank.
When the dirt collection tank is full, the float valve will automatically seal off the airflow to the motor to prevent
permanent damage.

a loud thump. There will be an immediate loss of
suction and a change in the sound of the motor
• DO NOT continue!
