Cleaning upholstery
Check fabric cleaning code (Fig. 25). Look on the furniture manufacturer’s
1 tag for a ‘W’ or ‘WS’ code. These codes indicate that it is alright to use your extractor to clean the upholstery.
Do not use the extractor on upholstery marked ‘S’, ‘X’ or ‘Dry Clean Only’.
Vacuum upholstery thoroughly with your vacuum cleaner’s attachments.

Listen carefully! When the motor sound changes (rises in pitch), the recovery

tank need to be emptied.

When water has reached the full line in the recovery tank, the extractor will NOT pick up dirty solution.

Allow upholstery to dry. Avoid using upholstery until it is dry.

Increased air circulation (open doors, turn on fans, etc.) will help upholstery

dry thoroughly to prevent the growth of mold or mildew.
