Using Your Canister Vapor Cleaner
Wood, Vinyl, and Marble Floors
Use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush with a Terry Cloth Towel attached. Move the brush across the floor as if you are mopping. When the towel is soiled, you can turn the towel over or replace it with a clean towel. If you are working on a very dirty area, move the brush over the area slowly several times. If it is a wood floor, move fast to avoid heat or moisture buildup in the wood. By cleaning with the towel over the brush, you will not affect the shine on the floor.
To Strip Wax: Use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush for open areas; Small Detail Brush for corners or tight areas - no towel, slow strokes. Work a small area at a time - remove the emulsified wax from the floor. When all of the wax has been stripped, immediately clean the floor and brushes with water before residue has a chance to harden on them. Go back over the stripped area with the rectangular brush with a towel attached to remove any remaining residue before waxing.
To Clean Waxed Floors: Wrap clean towel around the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush. Brush to remove dirt.
Vinyl Floors: Do not allow heat to build up on any kind of vinyl, since it can soften it enough to affect its texture. Work fast on vinyl.
Tile Floors: Use the Concentrator Nozzle with the Small Detail Brush attached to an Extension Wand. Have the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush with cloth attached ready as well. Clean the grout of the tile with the Small Detail Brush. Remove the detail attachment and attach the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush move the brush across the floor to clean the tile and remove excess moisture and residue. For areas of tile that are very dirty, remove the towel and agitate with the brush. Do not let the area dry before you wipe it up.
Carpets: Vacuum the entire carpet area first. Use the Rectangular Floor/Carpet Brush with Carpet Glider and a cloth attached (you might need two Terry Cloth Towels to eliminate drag). Move slowly over the area allowing the vapor to penetrate the carpet. The cloth will absorb the excess moisture and residue. For spot cleaning, use the Concentrator Nozzle without a brush. Remember - the towel is your "extractor" in this process. Do not vacuum again while the cleaned area is still warm. Do not linger too long in one place - normal back and forth motion used in cleaning a carpet prevents heat build up in the fibers.
Warning:
•Do not vacuum the carpet while it is still warm. The dirt from your vacuum cleaner may be redeposited into the carpet.
•Some carpets do not have secured colorfast dyes. Do not start cleaning your carpet before first testing a small inconspicuous area.
