Carpet and Area Rug

Applications

Dry Carpet Cleaning

(For deep cleaning carpet and rugs)

The Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaning System® is the easiest and most effective way to keep your carpet and rugs looking clean and beautiful. It effectively removes dirt and grime that vacuums cannot. Unlike many carpet extractors, steam cleaners or steam cleaning services, it will not leave a soapy or sticky residue on your carpet that will attract dirt and cause rapid resoiling. It is safe for use in homes with children and pets.

Equipment and Material Required:

•Orbiter® Multi-Floor Machine

•Black Drive Pad Holder

•White Terrycloth Bonnet (for berber or low-pile carpets) or Black Carpet Brush (for medium- or high- pile carpets)

•Oreck Premist® Soil Release Pre-Spray

•Oreck Dry Carpet Cleaner

Procedure:

1.Spray Premist® Soil Release Pre-Spray on the carpet in a 6 ft by 6 ft area.

2.Sprinkle Dry Carpet Cleaner over the treated area (do not over use).

3.Work the Dry Carpet Cleaner into the carpet with the Orbiter® Multi-Floor Machine and the white terrycloth bonnet (for berber or low-pile carpets) or black carpet brush (for medium- or high-pile carpets).

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the whole carpet has been treated. The carpet can be walked on during or immediately after the treatment with no ill effects.

5.When the white terrycloth bonnet becomes soiled, turn it over. When the job is complete, clean the white terrycloth bonnet in the washing machine using cold water or hose off and allow to air dry.

6.After waiting at least 30 minutes, vacuum the treated areas with an Oreck vacuum cleaner.
