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

the carpet washer, basic safety precautions should always be observed and don’t over saturate your carpets. Only use
