Tips
» Deep cleaning stairs and high-trac areas on a regular
basis helps prolong carpet life.
» Check upholstery stung before cleaning. Colored
stung may bleed through the fabric when it
becomes wet.
» Before turning o the machine, suction up clean
water to thoroughly rinse out the interior of the flex
hose. Then, lift the cleaning tool and point it upwards
to drain any remaining water into the dirty water/
collection tank.
