IMPORTANT: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing. Test for colourfastness - Wet a white
absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small hidden area of your carpet/rugs/upholstery gently rub with the dampened cloth.
Wait ten minutes and check for colour removal or bleed with a white paper towel or cloth. If your carpet has more than one
colour, check all colours. Test your carpet/rugs/upholstery – Run the carpet washer over a small hidden area.
If no pile distortion occurs continue cleaning. When cleaning an entire room, move furniture out of the area to be cleaned.
If the furniture cannot be moved, place aluminium foil or wax paper under the legs. This will prevent wood nishes from
staining your carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and curtains. When using the carpet washer, basic safety precautions should
always be observed and don’t over saturate your carpets. Only use Vax carpet solution. Using other solutions may cause
excess foaming and will invalidate your warranty. The clean water tank should only be lled with warm water (max 40’C).
Never use boiling water as you may damage your machine and invalidate the warranty. This is a powerful carpet washer,
before plugging in make sure all controls are turned o also hold carpet washer rmly when starting and during use.
