Windsor Priza manual Cleaning methods Normally dirty carpets, On very dirty surfaces or stains

Cleaning methods

Normally dirty carpets:

„In the normal spray-extraction process the cleaning solution is sprayed and vacuumed up immediately.

„Vacuuming again without spraying shortens the drying time.

On very dirty surfaces or stains:

„First spray cleaning solution on to these areas and leave it to take effect for approx. 10–15 mins. Then go over the areas as already described.

„To get the best results, go over the area again with clean warm water only. In this way the residue of detergent is reduced further and the dissolved dirt fully washed away.

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 too much water is used 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. 122 °F/+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, it should be treated to prevent it from becoming dirty again too quickly. We recommend the use of our Care Tex RM 762 with dirt repellent and antistatic agent.

–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.

Detergents

Environmental note: We recommend you use detergents sparingly out of consideration for the environment. Please follow precisely the instructions about how much to use.

Caution: To prevent injury to health or damage to property, please observe all instructions which are included with the detergents used.

Note: The fresh-water tank can be emptied simply by suction.

„Turn off spray function (water pump).

„Press the valve handle of the floor nozzle and the pressure in the system will be discharged.

„Take floor nozzle off spray-suction hose.

„Hold suction hose in the unused cleaning solution in the fresh-water tank and switch on the unit with the “suction” button (Fig. 9).

„The cleaning solution which has been suctioned off collects in the dirty-water reservoir.
