Tips for working with the cleaner
Carpeting, carpets and above all genuine
Oriental carpets should be tested in an
inconspicuous place to make sure they
are colourfast and water resistant
– The more sensitive the covering (Oriental
rugs, Berber carpets, upholstery material),
the less detergent should be used.
– Hemp-backed carpeting can shrink if it is
worked too wet and the colour will run.
– Brush deep pile carpets when they are wet
in the direction of the pile (e.g. with a pile
brush or scrubber).
– You will achieve better cleaning results if
you use warm water (up to a max. 50 °C).
– Spray badly stained areas separately and
leave the detergent for 5–10 mins to take
effect.
– Always work from light to dark, that means
from windows to doors.
– Always work from the cleaned area to the
non-cleaned area.
– After a textile covering has been cleaned
wet, it should be treated to prevent it from
becoming dirty again too quickly.
– Do not walk on cleaned areas or place
furniture on them until they have dried (risk
of rust stains or pressure marks).
– For carpets which have been shampooed,
the foam in the dirty-water reservoir has to
be neutralised.
