Please read this section thoroughly BEFORE using the cleaner as
the hire company cannot accept responsibility for any damage
caused to your carpet or upholstery.
The Carpet Cleaner works by spraying a mixture of water and
cleaning fluid under pressure into the carpet. The fluid with
loosened dirt is then extracted by the vacuum.
Because this is a ‘wet’ system, it is extremely important that you
take the necessary steps to ensure that the carpet (or upholstery)
is suitable for this cleaning system.
Colour fastness should be checked by making a test on an area of
the carpet where any ill findings won’t be visible.You can choose a
patch which is normally under a piece of furniture or test an off cut
left by the carpet fitter, if available.
Consideration must also be given to the fact that the carpet may
shrink once it has dried. Hessian backed carpet is the most
common victim of shrinkage especially if it has been made
excessively wet.
Check that the carpet is securely fixed to any gripper rod and that
seams 9where carpet pieces meet) are firmly stitched or taped.
Once the carpet has been cleaned DON’T walk on it unless in bare
feet as shoes and slippers can leave permanent marks.
Clear the room of all furniture and curtains. Where some furniture
remains, it will have to be moved from one side of the room to the
other. Have a supply of thick plastic bagging available to place
between the carpet and the furniture’s legs, this will prevent rust
stains occurring.
Tape plastic sheeting over all power sockets, aerial sockets and
phone sockets, to prevent water entering them. Where possible,
plug the Carpet Cleaner into a power supply socket which is in
another room.
Once cleared, vacuum the room from left to right then front to back.
If you don’t vacuum thoroughly, the Carpet Cleaner won’t do the job
properly.
Wheel the Carpet Cleaner into the room and loosen the power
supply cable.
Fit the wand sections, handle and spray head together, ensuring the
fluid chanels align with each other. Note that each part simply
pushes together.
