11. e Vacuum carpet thoroughly to remove any residual dust or debris e Areas of heavy carpet soiling can be removed more easily if first treated with a concentrated cleaning solution or pre spotting solution e Rate of cleaning will depend upon the thickness of the carpet and the degree of dirt in the area being cleaned e Do not over wet carpets Carpets may shrink if they are over wet or not properly fixed down 4 4 Cleaning Stairs e CAUTION when cleaning on stairs exercise great care to ensure that the machine is stable and cannot overbalance possibly causing injury to either operator or third party Use the upholstery tool for cleaning in place of the wand assembly 4 5 Cleaning Upholstery This is done in the same way as carpet cleaning except using the upholstery tool in place of the wand assembly Cleaning is achieved using a gentle dragging motion of the upholstery tool over the material e An inconspicuous area of the item to be cleaned should always be tested for colour fastness prior to cleaning Should doubt exist as to the suitability of the fabric for wet cleaning the chemical manufacturer should be consulted for advice e Loose cushions should be cleaned separately e Do not over wet upholstery removed and 5 When Cleaning is Finished 5 1 Draining and Cleaning e When the recovery tank is full empty by using the drain hose at the rear of machine Fig 2 If a bucket is used to empty the recovery tank
