Setup

The Rug Doctor Pro Deep Commercial Carpet Cleaning Machine requires no assembly. It is ready for use directly out of the box.

  1. Prepare the Area: Vacuum the carpet thoroughly to remove loose dirt and debris before deep cleaning.
  2. Fill the Clean Water Tank: The machine features two large-capacity, 1.5-gallon tanks. Locate the clean water tank (typically the upper tank). Remove it by lifting the handle. Fill the tank with warm tap water up to the indicated fill line. Add the appropriate amount of Rug Doctor cleaning solution using the built-in measuring cup, following the solution's instructions for dilution. Securely replace the tank.

Operating Instructions

The Rug Doctor Pro Deep is designed for intuitive back-and-forth cleaning, providing powerful extraction with each pass.

  1. Start Cleaning: Press the power button to turn on the machine. Hold down the spray trigger located on the handle to dispense cleaning solution.
  2. Cleaning Motion: Slowly pull the machine backward over the carpet while holding the spray trigger. This applies the cleaning solution and scrubs the carpet fibers. Release the trigger and push the machine forward over the same area to extract the dirty water. Overlap passes slightly to ensure thorough cleaning.

  6. Spot & Pre-Treat Cleaner: For heavily soiled areas or tough stains, use the included 22 oz. Professional Oxy Spot & Pre-Treat Cleaner prior to deep cleaning. Apply directly to the stain, allow it to penetrate for a few minutes, then proceed with the machine cleaning.
  7. Optional Motorized Upholstery Tool: An attachable motorized upholstery tool (sold separately) can be used for cleaning stairs, upholstery, pet areas, and car interiors. Refer to the accessory's manual for specific usage instructions.

  9. Finish Cleaning: Once the carpet is clean, make a few dry passes (without holding the spray trigger) to extract as much moisture as possible. This will help the carpet dry faster.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Rug Doctor Pro Deep machine.

  1. Empty and Rinse Tanks: After each use, empty the dirty water recovery tank (lower tank) and rinse both the clean water and dirty water tanks thoroughly with warm water. Allow them to air dry before reassembling.
  2. Clean Brush Roll: Inspect the brush roll for any tangled hair, fibers, or debris. Carefully remove any obstructions to ensure the brush rotates freely. If the brush roll jam indicator light illuminates during operation, turn off the machine and clear the jam.
  3. Wipe Down Machine: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth to remove any residue.
  4. Storage: Store the machine in a dry, temperate environment. The handle can be folded down for more compact storage. Do not store with water in the tanks.
