BEFORE YOU BEGIN CLEANING
1. Vacuum thoroughly - For carpet, use a HOOVER
®
vacuum cleaner with an agitator for best results.
Vacuum upholstery with a vacuum cleaner with
cleaning tool attachments. Use a crevice tool to
reach into tufts and folds. Do not use the carpet
cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
2. For upholstery, check cleaning code - Use your
HOOVER
®
carpet washer only if the upholstery
fabric is marked with a “W” (for “wet” clean) or “S/W”
(for “solvent/dry” or “wet” clean). Do not clean fabric
marked “S” (“solvent/dry” clean only). If your
upholstery does not have a code, seek professional
assistance.
3. Test for colorfastness - Wet a white absorbent
cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden area,
gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth.
Wait ten minutes and check for color removal or
bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If surface has
more than one color, check all colors.
4. When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of
area to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only
high traffic areas are to be cleaned). For furniture
too heavy to move, place aluminum foil or wax
paper under legs. This will prevent wood finishes
from staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and
draperies.
5. Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with an
appropriate Hoover Cleaning Solutions, see
“Cleaning Solutions” section. Follow Directions on
bottle.
*Available at additional cost if not included with your
model.
6. To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil
to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible
water spray.
7. To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood
floors underneath area rugs/carpet, either move area
rugs/ carpet to a non-wood hard floor surface or
place waterproof material (e.g. plastic) underneath
them before cleaning.
