Avoid over-wetting your carpet. Rug Doctor machines are designed to deep clean and extract in one cleaning pass. Do not go over a heavily
soiled spot more than 2 times. Berber, Multi-level or Looped carpets retain more liquid. For these types of carpets, do NOT repeat cleaning
passes. If additional cleaning is desired, allow carpets to dry before attempting to reclean heavily soiled areas. Because they retain more
2
liquid, Berber carpets that are overwet can experience "wick up" of soils or spills very deeply embedded in the carpet or backing. If you
experience this problem, allow area to dry completely then clean again using single, quick passes (1 to 2 feet per second) with the Rug Doctor
machine.
Overlap passes slightly to cover all areas. IMPORTANT: When pressing the red button, keep machine moving so vibrating brush does not

agitate in one place.
Liquid recovery. You should recover 70 - 80% of the liquid used depending on your carpet type. With Berber carpet, you may recover a little
4
less liquid.
Avoid excess foam in the white UPPER tank, which can be expelled through the machine and may affect your carpet. If foaming occurs, turn
5
off the machine and empty the upper white tank if it is full.
If you replace furniture before the carpet is completely dry, place aluminum foil under furniture legs to prevent stains. Leave aluminum foil
6
under furniture legs until carpet is completely dry.
For faster drying, ventilate area. Open doors and windows. Place fans pointed downward on carpet. Turn on heat in damp or cold weather.
7
Turn on air conditioner in humid or hot weather. This is highly recommended when cleaning Berber carpets.
Cleaning Berber carpet. You can use your Rug Doctor machine to clean Berber carpet. For best results, make only one pass while depressing
8
the thumb switch to release solution. Make a second pass over the same area without pressing the switch so that you are only vacuuming
the liquid. Make sure the vacuum slot at the front bottom edge of the machine is snug against the carpet.
Carpet Cleaning
When cleaning an entire room, move furniture to the center of the room. Begin cleaning where furniture was, then return furniture to its
original location. Avoid staining carpet by placing aluminum foil under furniture legs. Clean remainder of carpet. When finished, leave
1
aluminum foil under furniture legs until carpet is completely dry.
Using a normal dry vacuum cleaner, sweep the area you want to clean to remove loose dirt before using the Rug Doctor machine. This helps
2
keep the brushes and water vacuum system efficient.
3
Pre-treat any special problem areas with the appropriate Rug Doctor cleaning solutions.
Depending on how dirty carpets are, mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaner product per gallon of
hot tap water in a clean bucket. Water should not be so hot as to scald or burn skin. The lower tank capacity
for the Rug Doctor Mighty Pro is 2.6 gallons and for the Rug Doctor Wide Track is 3.7 gallons.

Lower the retaining wire and remove the white UPPER tank.
Fill the LOWER tank with the cleaning solution you just mixed by pouring through the white filter screen.
Machine is full when liquid halfway covers filter screen.
6
Slip tank back in place and seal tank and clear dome securely by replacing retaining wire.
7
Check the back of the machine to ensure hose connections are secure and set up to clean carpet instead of
upholstery.
