IMPORTANT: Carpets should be dry vacuumed thoroughly before washing.
Test for colourfastness – Wet a white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a small hidden area of
your carpet/rugs/upholstery gently rub with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for
colour removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If your carpet has more than one colour,
check all colours.
Test your carpet/rugs/upholstery – Run the carpet washer over a small hidden area. If no pile
distortion occurs continue cleaning.
When cleaning an entire room, move furniture out of the area to be cleaned. If the furniture cannot
be moved, place aluminium foil or wax paper under the legs. This will prevent wood finishes from
staining your carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and curtains.
When using the carpet washer, basic safety precautions should always be observed and don't over
saturate your carpets.
Only use Hoover carpet cleaning solution. Using other solutions may cause excess foaming.

Pre-treating your carpet before washing will help to remove stubborn stains. Do not saturate

IMPORTANT: The dirty water tank is fitted with a float. When the dirty water tank is full, or the floor
head is not in contact with the carpet the float will shut off the suction on the carpet washer. You
will be able to hear if this has happened as the motor noise on the machine will increase. Once the
float is activated, empty the dirty water tank if full. If the dirty water tank is not full then turn off your
machine and wait for the float to settle.
