1. Test for colorfastness

Apply some shampoo solution to a small inconspicuous area of the carpet and rub with a white cloth. Check to see that color does not come off on the cloth and that the color of the carpet is satisfactory after the area dries.

2. Check effect of shampoo brushes

Attach shampoo brushes to shampoo-polisher. Prepare a small amount of shampoo solution in the tank following directions on the shampoo container. Attach tank and guide the shampoo-polisher over a small area of the carpet. After shampooing this area, brush the pile in one direction and let dry. Examine carpet for change in texture. Some carpets or rugs with loop or twist pile show a change of texture when any cleaning ap- pliance is used. If this change is not too great, it will not be apparent after the entire area has been shampooed. The shampoo-polisher, used according to directions, will leave carpet clean and bright with a minimum of texture change. If these two tests have proven successful, proceed with the following steps.

3, Move furniture

Place plastic or aluminum foil pads under legs of furniture too heavy to move, so metal slides or wood finishes will not stain carpet. If furniture is moved back on damp carpet, place pads under legs. to avoid marks and rust stains.

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 in- accessible areas, such as under radiators. Do not pour leftover solution in your shampoo-polisher. The lint in the solution may plug the tank.
