Attach PAD HOLDER to Orbiter floor machine. Apply a
tablespoon amount of paste wax on 4 sections of white polish
pad. Place pad on floor and center Orbiter pad holder onto

DRY CLEANING CARPETS USING
ORECK DRY CARPET™ CLEANING SYSTEM
This procedure can be used on most types of carpet.
EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS REQUIRED:
1. Orbiter floor machine
2. Black Drive Pad Holder
3. Carpet Bonnet
4. Oreck Dry Carpet™ Carpet Cleaner
5. Oreck Premist™ Soil Release Pre Spray
6. Oreck vacuum cleaner
PROCEDURE:
1. VACUUM
Vacuum with an Oreck vacuum cleaner to remove loose
particles from carpet.
2. PRE-MIST
Use the Oreck Premist™ Soil Release Pre Spray to lightly mist
a carpet area approximately 6' x 6'. Hold the bottle waist
high with the nozzle on "mist."
3. SPRINKLE
With the enclosed shaker, fill half way with dry carpet cleaner
and sprinkle over the misted 6'x6' area. Work one 6'x6' area
at a time to ensure the cleaner is brushed into the carpet while
still moist. Do not over use cleaner.
4. BONNET WITH ORBITER
Attach the Carpet Bonnet to the pad holder, then place
Orbiter onto pad holder. Finally, work the Orbiter in a
forward and backward motion to work the powder into the
carpet.
5. TURN BONNET
Run Orbiter over 6'x6' area. Stop machine and flip over
bonnet and continue.
6. CLEAN BONNET IF SOILED
Rinse under running water to remove dirt and oils when both
sides become soiled. Then ring out.
7. REPEAT
Repeat steps 2 through 6 on the next 6'x6' area of carpet
until entire carpet is completed.
8. VACUUM
Wait until powder is dry, then vacuum out the dry powder
and dirt. Time will vary depending on temperature and
humidity (approx. 30 minutes). You can walk on the carpet at
anytime. This process is safe for children and pets.
9. To assure the maximum effectiveness of the Oreck Dry
Carpet™ Cleaner, make sure the container is TIGHTLY
resealed for freshness.
Don not clean an area of carpet larger than 6'x6' at a time
because the cleaner will dry and lose effectiveness.
Repeat process for heavily soiled areas as needed.
