4. Vacuum thoroughly

Vacuum carpet to remove dust, sand, and lint. The quality of the sham- pooing job depends, to a great extent, on how thoroughly the dirt is removed before shampooing.

5. Remove stains

Special stain removal products are available for carpet and rugs. You may also pretreat heavily soiled or stained areas by using the shampoo, according to the instructions on the container.

Use dry cleaning fluid to remove spots which are not soluble in water, such as grease or chewing gum.

Do not use shampoo-polisher to apply dry cleaning fluid.

Note: Some stains cannot be removed, such as ink, fruit, animal stains and stains which have been on the carpet for a long time. Those stains may become more apparent when the film of dirt has been removed by shampooing.

6. Shampoo inaccessible areas

Dip a hand brush into a bowl of the shampoo solution and brush inacces- sible areas, such as under radiators. Do not pour leftover solution into your shampoo-polisher tank; the lint in the solution may plug it.

Ready, set, shampoo

Disconnect cleaner from electri- cal outlet.

1. Attach rug shampoo accessory

With shampoo-polisher upside down on a flat surface, make sure the foam generator is screwed on tightly (see Maintenance Section for care of foam generator).

To convert the unit for shampoo- ing, fit notch on rug shampoo accessory onto wheel axle of unit. Snap into place.

Press sides and front of accessory into place, completely covering bottom of shampoo-polisher.
