Cleaning tips
Highly soiled spots should be
presoaked 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).
Do not step on cleaned surfaces until
they have dried and do not place furni-
ture on them to avoid pressure spots or
rust stains.
When cleaning previously shampooed
carpets, foam will be generated in the
dirt water reservoir. In such a case add
