- If the carpet (or part of it) merely requires freshening up, you do not need to apply a lot of
shampoo.
- It is probably sufcient to only apply shampoo when you make the rst stroke towards you.
- Then release the trigger and move the nozzle over the cleaned area a few times without
applying shampoo.
Deep cleaning
- For thorough cleaning of a very dirty carpet or part of a carpet, move the nozzle over the area
to be cleaned a few times while you apply shampoo.
Extra thorough cleaning
- For extra thorough cleaning of badly soiled areas or stubborn stains, switch off the motor but
keep the pump running.
- Squeeze the trigger to apply shampoo.
- Allow the shampoo to act on the area for several minutes before you switch on the motor
again to suck up the shampoo.
- Be careful not to apply too much shampoo, as this may damage the carpet.
- Never shampoo oors that are not water-resistant. If you are in doubt, contact the supplier of
the carpet.
- Do not shampoo delicate fabrics and handwoven or non-colourfast carpets.
- Test the colourfastness of your carpet by pouring some shampoo dissolved in water onto a
white cloth. Then rob the cloth onto a normally hidden part of the carpet. If there are no traces
of dye on the cloth, the carpet is probably colourfast.
- However, if dye comes off onto the cloth, do not shampoo the carpet. If you are in doubt,
contact a specialist.
- Vacuum the whole area thoroughly before you start shampooing.
- Make sure that the room is well-aired during and after shampooing to allow better and quicker
drying.
- Allow the carpet to dry well before walking on it again: freshened-up areas normally require 30
minutes to dry, whereas deep-cleaned sections require approximately 2 hours to dry. Of course,
the drying times also depend upon the amount of shampoo applied, temperature, air humidity
and ventilation.
- The transparent nozzles (the double-injection nozzle and the upholstery nozzle) let
you determine if the carpet or hard oor is clean. Simply look at the colour of the extracted
solution.
- The 3-purpose click-on hard oor adapter for the double-injection nozzle consists of three
familiar cleaning tools: (Fig. 40)
a brush to release sticky dirt from the oor;
a sponge to release, distribute and rub in the shampoo;
a squeegee to collect the shampoo from the oor so that it can be vacuumed.
1 Snap the hard oor adapter onto the double-injection shampoo nozzle (Fig. 41).
2 Start as far away from the door as possible and then work your way towards the door.
3 Apply shampoo by squeezing the trigger on the handgrip of the tube. To scrub effectively, just
make back-and-forth strokes as you do with a regular vacuum cleaner. Normally it is
sufcient to only apply shampoo while you move the nozzle forwards (Fig. 42).
Note: Do not make very long strokes.
4 To dry the oor, just move the nozzle backwards slowly. Make sure that only the squeegee
touches the oor and do not apply shampoo (Fig. 43).
