areas.
Check for colour fastness
Before cleaning carpet, test for colour fastness. Dampen a
white cloth with solution. Test on a small inconspicuous
area prior to washing. 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 40ºC) tap water.
