Usage Suggestions - Monster SuperClean 60 Instruction Manual

Efficient Work
• For vertical surfaces, wipe always from the
top down, in this way the dirty water will not soil
surfaces already cleaned.
• Avoid changing brushes back and forth while
cleaning.
• Start with the smallest brush to clean tight spots
and corners first.
• Wipe dirt as soon as possible, otherwise it will
dry and re-adhere to the surface.
Wood, Vinyl and Marble Floors
Use the floor brush with a cotton cloth attached.
Move the brush across the floor as if you are
mopping. When the cloth is soiled, you can turn
it over or replace it with a clean cloth. If you are
working on a very dirty area, you can move the
brush over the area slowly, several times. If it is a
wood floor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture
buildup in the wood.
NOTE: Unsealed wood floors i.e. unpainted
or unvarnished wood should not be steam
cleaned.
By cleaning with the cloth over the brush, you
will not affect the shine on the floor.
To Strip off Wax Polish: Use floor brush for open
areas and nylon detail brush for corners or tight
areas - no cloth, slow strokes. Work a small area
at a time- removing the emulsified wax polish
from the floor. When all of the wax polish has
been stripped, immediately clean the floor and
brushes with water before residue has a chance
to harden on them. Go back over the stripped
area with the floor brush with a cloth to remove
any remaining residue before re-polishing.
Polished Floors: Wrap clean cloth around the
floor brush, brush quickly. This will cause the dirt
to be removed but not the wax.
Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to buildup in any
kind of vinyl, since it can soften it enough to
affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.
Tile Floors: Clean the grout between the tiles
using the detail nozzle with the nylon detail
brush fitted attached to an extension. Use the
floor brush with cloth attached to clean the tiles.
Move the floor brush slowly across the floor to
remove excess moisture and residue.
For areas of tile that are very dirty, remove the
cloth and agitate with the brush.
Do not let the area dry before you wipe it up.

Usage Suggestions

Spot Cleaning (Carpets)
Use the detail nozzle with or without the nylon
detail brush. Move slowly over the soiled area,
allowing the steam to penetrate. Agitate with
detail brush or clean cloth.
Dab the spot with the cloth (do not rub). Repeat
as necessary to remove stain. Vacuum only
after the carpet has completely dried. Always
test color fastness of carpet in an inconspicuous
area before cleaning. If your steam cleaner fails
to remove stubborn stains a commercially avai-
lable carpet shampoo may be required.
DO NOT add cleaning solutions, perfumes, oils
or any other chemicals to the water used in this
appliance as this may damage the unit or make
it unsafe for use.
Upholstery
Use the floor brush attached directly to the
steam gun with a clean white cotton cloth. Use
fast, light strokes, and avoid getting the fabric
wet. Be patient with stubborn spots; work on a
spot gently for no more than a minute at a time,
then wait five minutes for the area to dry and
repeat. Use circular movements or back-and-
forth and side-to-side movements to get all sides
of surface fibers. Finish by brushing
in one direction to give the fabric a uniform
appearance.
CAUTION: Always determine the colour-fastness
of any fabric-especially with reds or blues - by
taking a clean, moist, warm towel and gently
rubbing a small area as far down on the back
or other out of the way place on the furniture as
possible. If colour comes off on the towel, you
may need to have the piece dry cleaned.
Window, Glass Surfaces and Mirrors
Use the Window Cleaner. Work with the steam
jet on using the top to bottom movements. Use
the squeegee with the steam off to clear the
water from the glass. To do this without leaving
streaks, use lateral movements from the top to
the bottom of the surface.
Blinds
Use the nylon detail brush to clean blinds. Move
the brush over the surface, allowing enough
time for the steam to penetrate.
Work quickly on PVC blinds. Test for color fastness
on fabric blinds before using.
