Use and Care Manual

Before You Begin Cleaning:
Vacuum carpet and upholstery thoroughly
with a Hoover vacuum before use.
Don’t use the carpet cleaner as a traditonal
vacuum cleaner.
Use your Hoover carpet cleaner only if
upholstery fabric is marked with a “W” (for
“wet” clean) or “S/W” (for “solvent/dry” or
“wet” clean). Don’t clean fabric marked “S”
(“solvent/dry” clean only).
Test for colorfastness in a small, hidden
area. Gently rub surface with a dampened
white cloth. Wait ten minutes and check
for color removal or bleed with a white
paper towel.
Move furniture out of area to be cleaned.
Place aluminum foil or wax paper under
legs of furniture too heavy to move to
prevent wood finishes from staining carpet.
Pin up furniture skirts and draperies.
Pretreat spots and heavy trac areas with
a Hoover® Cleaning Solution*. See the
“Cleaning Solutions” section.
*Available at additional cost if not included
with your model.
NOTE: To prevent staining, use
plastic or aluminum foil to protect
wood or metal surfaces from
possible water spray.
NOTE: To avoid damage to wood
floors underneath area rugs or
carpet, place waterproof material
(ex: plastic) underneath them
before cleaning.
For best results, pretreat stains with a
Hoover spot treatment (see Hoover Cleaning
Solution Guide, pg. 19) to help loosen and
remove even the most stubborn stains.
