Before You Begin Cleaning; Pretreating - Hoover ELITE FH50251 User Manual

Before you begin Cleaning:

Vacuum carpet and upholstery thoroughly with
a Hoover vacuum before use.
Don't use the carpet cleaner as a traditonal
vacuum cleaner.
Use your Hoover carpet cleaner only if
upholstery fabric is marked with a "W" (for
"wet" clean) or "S/W" (for "solvent/dry" or "wet"
clean). Don't clean fabric marked "S" ("solvent/
dry" clean only).
Test for colorfastness in a small, hidden area.
Gently rub surface with a dampened white
cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for color
removal or bleed with a white paper towel.
Move furniture out of area to be cleaned. Place
aluminum foil or wax paper under legs of
furniture too heavy to move to prevent wood
finishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture
skirts and draperies.
Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with a
Hoover Cleaning Solution*. See the "Cleaning
®
Solutions" section.

Pretreating:

For best results, pretreat stains with a Hoover
spot treatment (see Hoover Cleaning Solution
Guide, pg. 23) to help loosen and remove even
the most stubborn stains.
NOTE: To prevent staining,
use plastic or aluminum foil
to protect wood or metal
surfaces from possible
water spray.
NOTE: To avoid damage
to wood floors underneath
area rugs or carpet, place
waterproof material (ex:
plastic) underneath them
before cleaning.
