Using a spot cleaner generally involves spraying solution, agitating the soiled area, and extracting the dirty water. Here's a breakdown of how to use one effectively:
-
Prepare the Spot Cleaner:
- Fill the clean water tank with water and the appropriate cleaning solution, following the manufacturer's instructions for the correct ratio.
-
Apply the Cleaning Solution:
- Press the spray trigger to dispense the cleaning solution onto the stained or soiled area. Make sure to saturate the area sufficiently.
-
Agitate the Stain:
- Release the spray trigger. Gently scrub the stain using the brush attachment on the spot cleaner to loosen the dirt and debris. Apply downward pressure as you scrub.
-
Extract the Dirty Water:
- Position the cleaning head directly over the stain and apply downward pressure. Slowly pull the tool towards you to extract the dirty water into the dirty water tank.
-
Repeat if Necessary:
- For stubborn stains, repeat steps 2-4 until the stain is removed.
-
Empty and Clean the Spot Cleaner:
- Once you've finished cleaning, empty the dirty water tank and rinse it thoroughly. Also, clean the cleaning head and any attachments.
