vacuum cleaner with cleaning tool
attachments. Use a crevice tool to reach
into tufts and folds Do not use the
'SteamVac' deep cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner.
b. For upholstery, check cleaning
code - Use your HOOVER 'SteamVac'
deep cleaner only if the upholstery fabric is marked with a "W" (for "wet" clean)
or "S/W" (for "solvent/dry" or "wet"
clean). Do not clean fabric marked "S"
("solventJdry"
clean only). If your

white absorbent cloth with the solution. In a
small, hidden area, gently rub the surface
with the dampened cloth Wait ten minutes
and check for color removal or bleed with
white paper towel or cloth If surface has
more than one color, check all colors
If no color change is visible, spray
PreCleaner onto spots and traffic areas
Wait at least ten minutes Use your
'SteamVac' deep cleaner to pick up
PreCleaner and spot. Repeat until spot is
removed; carefully scrub with a household
scrub brush if necessary
d. When cleaning entire floor, move
furniture out of area to be cleaned
(may not be necessary if only high traffic
areas are to be cleaned). For furniture
too heavy to move, place aluminum foi!
or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood finishes from staining carpet

removes all stains from all carpets. Stain
removal varies with the type of spill, time
elapsed before removal, carpet material,
and carpet type
e. Pretreat spots and heavy traffic
areas with HOOVER® PreCleaner*Test PreCleaner for colorfastness by first
spraying it on a hidden area; wait ten
minutes and blot with white paper towels
or cloth.
Do not saturate carpet or upholstery with
PreCleaner,
f.To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray,
g.To avoid wetting and possible damage
to wood floors underneath area rugs/carpet, either move area rugs/carpet to a nonwood bare floor surface or place waterproof
material (e.g. plastic) underneath them
before cleaning.
See pages 10-14 for instructions on various
cleaning tasks.
After
cleaning
a. Allow carpet or upholstery to dry. To
help prevent matting and reselling the
carpet, keep children and pets away
from surface until it is completely dry. If
it is necessary to walk on damp carpet, place towels or white cloths on the
traffic areas.
If furniture must be replaced before the
carpet is dry, use plastic or aluminum
foil pads under legs of furniture so metal
slides or wood finishes will not stain the
carpet.
b. If desired, the carpet may be rinsed
Rinsing is not necessary for cleaning,
but it may Improve the surface's appearance after it is dry.
If rinsing is desired, be careful not to
over-wet the carpet or upholstery.
Allow time for carpet or upholstery to
dry completely between cleaning and
rinsing. To rinse, follow the same procedure for cleaning only using hot tap
water with no detergent in the upper
clean solution tank.
c. Empty tanks, rinse with clear water
and let air dry Rinse the solution tank
cap and recovery tank lid and let air dry
[d.
Remove debris from recovery
tank filter and rinse with clean
water

When picking up spills on bare floors,
use only the floor nozzle with the bare

If a spot is left, the stair/upholstery nozzle is
generally more effective for removing it.
Although no cleaning solution can completely remove all spots, they can be treated by following the instructions provided by
the manufacturer of the carpet, upholstery,
or bare floor surface being cleaned.
