The Eureka NEY100 Series is a portable carpet and upholstery cleaner designed for household use. It is engineered to provide effective cleaning for various fabric surfaces, offering a "Clean Promise" focused on performance, quality, and value.
Function Description:
The Eureka NEY100 Series is a wet/dry cleaner that utilizes a combination of water and cleaning solution to deep clean carpets and upholstery. It operates by spraying a cleaning solution onto the surface, scrubbing with a brush tool, and then suctioning up the dirty water. This process helps to remove stains, dirt, and odors from fabrics. The device is designed for easy assembly and maintenance, with clearly labeled components for user convenience. It features separate tanks for clean and dirty water, ensuring that clean solution is always applied and dirty water is effectively collected. The cleaner is equipped with a motor that provides suction for wet pick-up operations.
