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 fabric is marked with a
"W" (for "wet" clean) or "S/W" (for "solvent/dry" or "wet"
clean). Do not clean fabric 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, gently 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

Hoover Cleaning Solutions, see "Cleaning Solutions" section.
Follow Directions on bottle.

6. To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to protect
wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray.
7. To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors
underneath area rugs/carpet, either move area rugs/ carpet to a
non-wood hard floor surface or place waterproof material (e.g.
plastic) underneath them before cleaning.
