GENERAL CLEANING
ADVICE
Before using for the first time:
• Test the resistance of fabrics and
colours on a hidden area before
using
• Before cleaning floors or fabric
surfaces (e.g. carpets, rugs, etc.)
you are recommended to pre-clean
with a vacuum cleaner
• The scouring brushes (9) are in
different colours. Use the different
colours for different purposes (e.g.
red for the kitchen, yellow for the
bathroom, etc.)
When attaching the cloth lay it on a
flat surface and fold the two long
edges in toward the middle. Put the
floor head onto the cloth ensuring that
there is a double layer of cloth
underneath the bristles then clip the
edges of the cloth to the floor head.
This will reduce wear on the cloth.
When cleaning carpets and hard
floors move the floor head over the
surface at a slower pace than when
using a vacuum cleaner.
Do not use physical pressure when
steam cleaning – let the power o
f
the steam do the work. When
excess pressure is used on brush
tools the bristles can be permanently
mis-shaped.
