Step 1: Check Fabrics and Prepare the Area
Check the manufacturers tag for cleaning instructions. If there is a W or W/S on the tag it means you can use water for cleaning and you can clean it with a spot cleaner. If it is coded S or X or says “”Dry Clean Only””, do not use the spot cleaner and contact the manufacturer for cleaning instructions.
Always test the cleaning solution and spot cleaner in an inconspicuous spot or hidden area and allow it to dry before proceeding. If upholstery color is affected, do not use the spot cleaner.
Thoroughly vacuum the upholstery, stairs, rug or area before you begin using the spot cleaner.
Step 2: Prepare The Spot Cleaner Rental Machine
The Clean Water Tank is the tank located on the left side of the machine. Push the Clean Water Tank Release Button and pull the tank in an outward motion to release tank. Unscrew the Easy Measure Solution Pour Cap from the Clean Water Tank. Fill the tank with hot tap water until it reaches the fill line. Only use Rug Doctor® or BISSELL® cleaning formula. Follow the directions on the back of the cleaning solution and fill the pour cap with the recommended ounces of solution. The Clean Water Tank holds .75 gallons of water. Tightly screw the cap back onto the tank. Securely place the tank back onto the machine. You will hear a “”click”” sound when the tank has locked into place.
Remove the Motorized Upholstery Tool by lifting from the front of the machine. Slide the Tool Handle out from the Tool Handle Holster on the back. Unwrap the Hose from the Tool Hose Wrap on the back of the machine. Once separate from the machine, connect the Motorized Upholstery Tool and Tool Handle. Press the two pieces together until you hear a “click” to assure a tight connection. Plug into a properly grounded outlet and turn on the machine.
Step 3: Deep Clean Your Upholstery or Carpet
Squeeze and hold the Cleaning Solution Trigger while slowly moving the tool back and forth over the stain or area. Release the trigger when complete. Excess solution can be removed by making additional passes with the tool without squeezing the trigger. This may permit faster drying.
The Dirty Water Tank is on the right side of the machine. When the dirty water reaches the “FULL” line, it’s time to empty it. Push the Dirty Water Tank Release Button and pull the tank in an outward motion to release. Remove the tank and carry to disposal area. Unscrew the Wide Opening Lid on the back of the tank, remove the Dirty Water Tank Float and pour out the dirty water. Rinse out tank to remove any debris. Screw lid back on tank. Securely place the tank back onto the machine, you will hear a “”click”” sound when it has locked into place.
