- Clean with Microfiber Cloth: Use the microfiber cloth attached to the spray bottle to loosen dirt and spread the cleaning solution across the entire surface.
- Vacuum Dirty Water: Turn on the Karcher WV 1 Plus. Place the squeegee blade diagonally against the top of the wet surface and glide it downwards in a straight, even motion. The device will vacuum up the dirty water, leaving the surface dry and streak-free. Repeat this process, overlapping slightly with the previous stroke, until the entire surface is clean.
