Operation
Before you begin cleaning
NOTE: Do not over saturate your carpet.
• Vacuum your carpets thoroughly.
• Test for colourfastness - Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden
area of your carpet, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and
check for colour removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If your carpet has more
than one colour, check all colours.
• When cleaning an entire room, move furniture out of the area to be cleaned. If the furniture is
too heavy to move, place aluminium foil or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood
finishes from staining your carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and curtains.
IMPORTANT: Only use Vax carpet cleaning solution. Using other solutions may cause
excess foaming. Excessive foam will prevent the machine from working effectively. Using
other solutions will invalidate the guarantee.
