Cleaning methods
Normal soiling
Spray and suction off detergent solution
in one work cycle.
Note: Repeated suctioning without spray-
ing will shorten the drying time.
Strong soiling or stains
Apply detergent solution with suction
turbine turned off and soak for 10 to 15
minutes.
Clean the surface just like with normal
soiling.
In order to further improve the cleaning
result, the surface can be recleaned us-
ing clear, warm water.
Upholstery cleaning
Attach hand nozzle (optional accesso-
ry) instead of the floor nozzle.
With sensitive materials, use less deter-
gent and spray the surface at a distance
of approx. 7.9 in (200 mm). Then simply
vacuum off.
– Highly soiled spots should be pre-
soaked and the detergent solution
should soak 5 to 10 minutes.
– Always work from the light to the shade
(from the window to the door).
– Always work from the cleaned to the un-
cleaned surface.
– The more sensitive the surface (oriental
rugs, berbers, upholstery material) the
lower the cleaning solution concentra-
tion should be.
– Rugs with jute backing can shrink if too
much water is used and can bleed col-
ours.
– Brush high-fiber rugs in the direction of
the weave after cleaning (using a fiber
brush or a scrubber).
– Water-proofing the fabric using Care
Tex RM 762 after the wet cleaning pre-
