Cleaning methods
Normal soiling
 Spray and suction off detergent solution
in one work cycle.
Note
A repeated suctioning without spraying will
shorten the drying time.
Strong soiling or stains
 Apply detergent solution with suction
turbine turned off and soak for 10 to 15
minutes.
 Clean the surface just like with normal
soiling.
 In order to further improve the cleaning
result, the surface can be recleaned us-
ing clear, warm water.
Cleaning tips
Highly soiled spots should be pre-
–
soaked and the detergent solution
should soak 5 to 10 minutes.
Always work from the light to the shade
–
(from the window to the door).
Always work from the cleaned to the un-
–
cleaned surface.
The more sensitive the surface (oriental
–
rugs, berbers, upholstery material) the
lower the cleaning solution concentra-
tion should be.
Rugs with jute backing can shrink if too
–
much water is used and can bleed col-
ours.
Brush high-fiber rugs in the direction of
–
the weave after cleaning (using a fiber
brush or a scrubber).

Water-proofing the fabric using Care
–
Tex RM 762 after the wet cleaning pre-
vents a quick resoiling of the textile sur-
face.
Do not step on cleaned surfaces until
–
they have dried and do not place furni-
ture on them to avoid pressure spots or
rust stains.
When cleaning previously shampooed
–
carpets, foam will be generated in the
dirt water reservoir. In such a case add
Foam ex RM 761 to the dirt water reser-
voir.
