Your HOOVER
®
SteamVac
®
carpet cleaner may also
be used to pick up small liquid spills (1 gallon or less,
never to exceed 1/4 inch in depth) on carpet,
upholstery, or bare floors.
For best results, pick up spills immediately by placing
the stair/upholstery nozzle (available on select
models only) just above the spill and suction up any
residue on top of the carpet. If the spill remains, place
either the stair/ upholstery nozzle or floor nozzle in
front of the spill, pull the nozzle very slowly over the
spill initially with suction only. Repeat with spray and
suction.
When picking up spills on bare floors, use only the
floor nozzle with the bare floor attachment (Available
on select models. Bare floor attachment sold
separately) in place. If a spot is left, the stair/
upholstery nozzle is generally more effective for
removing it. Although no cleaning solution can
completely remove all spots, they can be treated by
following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the carpet, upholstery, or bare floor
surface being cleaned.
Do not use the SteamVac
®
carpet cleaner to pick up
flammable or combustible liquids or chemicals.

CARPET CLEANING

For heavily soiled areas, repeat back and forth
cleaning motion.
It is best to alternate wet and dry strokes as
described above.
For best cleaning results and to aid in faster drying of
carpet, end with more dry strokes. (Continue using
dry strokes until little water is visible passing through
the Dirty Water Tank lid.)
