Start in low traffic areas to give absorbent compound time to work. Vacuum until all the compound is picked up. Use daily for best results. 5 Use an attachment to clean hard-to-reach areas. Vacuum along baseboards, next-to-heavy furniture and behind doors. 6 When finished, remove any signs and replace all mats. Personal protection equipment (PPE) — safety glasses and disposable gloves “Wet Floor” signs Broom and dust pan Vacuum cleaner Extra vacuum bags and belts Vacuum cleaning tips 1. Maintain your vacuum cleaner for strong performance and safety. 2. Never unplug the vacuum by pulling on the cord. Unplug by grasping the plug. Always wind cord starting at vacuum and work back towards plug. 3. Don’t try to vacuum up wet spills with your standard upright equipment. Wet spills can be an electrical hazard. 4. Carpet has a “direction,” called the lay. Raising the nap and standing up the fibers with a capet rake improves appearance. 3
Routine maintenance Carpet spotting procedures.

Schedule carpet extraction on a regular basis according to conditions or specific areas: Heavy soil: Every 1–3 months or as required. Medium soil: Every 4–6 months or as required. Light soil: Every 12–24 months or as required. 2. If the extractor appears slow in recovering solution, check exterior hoses for tight connections or leaks. Check internal filters for plugs that can reduce vacuum pressure. 3. If solution is not being delivered to the carpet, it may be caused by: Hard water buildup plugging in the solution spray valves. If this happens, clean with neutral cleaner and rinse. 9 Prespray the carpet. Work in manageable sections. Allow the prespray to work for 10–15 minutes. 10 Extract the carpet. Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Extract in overlapping paths, pulling the machine back towards you. Make a second “dry” pass without dispensing. Collect as much moisture as possible. 11 Empty the recovery tank when full. Refill the solution tank. If foam collects in recovery tank, add an antifoam agent.
