BEFORE YOU BEGIN CLEANING
1. Vacuum thoroughly - For carpet, use a
HOOVER vacuum cleaner with an agitator for best
®
results. Vacuum upholstery with a vacuum cleaner
with cleaning tool attachments. Use a crevice tool
to reach into tufts and folds. Do not use the carpet
cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
2. For upholstery, check cleaning code - Use your
HOOVER carpet washer only if the upholstery fab-
®
ric is marked with a "W" (for "wet" clean) or "S/W"
(for "solvent/dry" or "wet" clean). Do not clean fab-
ric marked "S" ("solvent/dry" clean only). If your
upholstery does not have a code, seek professional
assistance.
3. Test for colorfastness - Wet a white absorbent
cloth with the solution. In a small, hidden area, gen-
tly rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait
ten minutes and check for color removal or bleed
with white paper towel or cloth. If surface has more
than one color, check all colors.
4. When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of
area to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only
high traffic areas are to be cleaned).
For furniture too heavy to move, place aluminum
foil or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood
finishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts
and draperies.
5. Pretreat spots and heavy traffic areas with an
appropriate Hoover Cleaning Solutions, see
"Cleaning Solutions" section. Follow Directions on
bottle.
*Available at additional cost if not included with
your model.
6. To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil
to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible
water spray.
