4. Preparing the Carpet
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE CARPET
WASHER AS A DRY VACUUM.
1. Vacuum carpet thoroughly. Use a vacuum
cleaner with a revolving brushbar for best
results.
2. Remove as much furniture from the room as
possible. If unable to remove the furniture,
place plastic or foil under and around the
legs until the carpet has dried completely.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR CLEANING
CARPET:
1. Only use Vax Carpet Cleaner with this
carpet washer.
2. Do not oversaturate carpet with cleaning
solution while using the carpet washer.
3. For heavily soiled areas, additional
applications may be necessary.
4. Allow plenty of time to dry carpet
thoroughly.
5. Wipe cleaning solution from woodwork to
prevent any damage.
6. Try not to walk on carpet until it is completely
dry.
7. After carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum
the carpet using a vacuum cleaner with a
rotating brushbar.
8. Before cleaning, determine where to start
and end, making sure not to walk over
previously cleaned areas.
CHECK FOR COLOUR FASTNESS:
Before cleaning carpet, test for colour
fastness. Dampen a white cloth with solution.
Test a small area in a closet or inconspicuous
area. Gently rub the cloth over the area.
Check each colour for colour bleeding. If the
cloth remains clean, it should be safe to clean
the carpet.
AFTER CLEANING:
• Allow carpet to dry completely. Try not to
walk on the carpet until it is dry.
• If it is necessary to walk on the carpet,
place white towels on the areas to be
walked on.
• If the carpet is not dry and the furniture must
be placed back in the room, use plastic or
foil under the furniture to prevent staining
the carpet.
• Thoroughly clean the dirty water tank with
warm (max 40
0
C) tap water.
