Usage Instructions
1. Preparation
- Pre-test: Before deep cleaning, always test the solution on a small, hidden area of the carpet or upholstery for colorfastness. If the color is affected, do not proceed with use on that surface.
- Pre-treat: For best results on heavily soiled areas or tough stains, pre-treat the area according to your carpet cleaning machine's instructions or by applying a small amount of diluted solution directly to the stain and allowing it to sit for a few minutes before cleaning.
- Vacuum: Thoroughly vacuum the area to be cleaned to remove loose dirt and debris.
2. Adding Formula
- Dilution: Add 4 fluid ounces (approximately 1/2 cup) of Rug Doctor by BISSELL Max Advanced Deep Carpet Cleaner Solution for every 1 gallon of hot tap water into your carpet cleaning machine's solution tank.
- Mixing: Gently mix the solution and water in the tank. Do not shake vigorously to avoid excessive suds.
3. Cleaning
- Machine Operation: Follow the specific operating instructions provided by your carpet cleaning machine's manufacturer.
- Application: Apply the cleaning solution to the carpet or upholstery in slow, overlapping passes.
- Extraction: Make additional passes without spraying solution to extract as much moisture as possible.
- Drying: Allow the cleaned area to dry completely before walking on it or placing furniture back. Good ventilation will aid in faster drying.
Maintenance and Storage
Proper maintenance and storage will ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your cleaning solution.
- Storage: Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cap Security: Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity.
- Freezing: Do not allow the product to freeze. If frozen, allow it to thaw completely at room temperature before use.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while using the Rug Doctor by BISSELL Max Advanced Deep Carpet Cleaner, consider the following:
- Stains Persist: If a stain is not completely removed after the first application, re-apply the solution and clean the area again. For very old or stubborn stains, multiple applications or pre-treatment may be necessary.
- Poor Cleaning Results:
- Ensure the correct dilution ratio (4 oz per gallon of hot water) is being used.
- Verify that your carpet cleaning machine is functioning correctly and has sufficient suction.
- Make sure you are making slow, overlapping passes to allow the solution to penetrate and the machine to extract effectively.
- Color Fading/Damage: If you observe any color fading or damage to the carpet/upholstery, immediately discontinue use. This indicates the material may not be colorfast or suitable for wet cleaning. Always perform a colorfastness test in an inconspicuous area before full application.
- Excessive Suds: If too many suds are produced, you may have used too much solution or not mixed it properly. Reduce the amount of solution slightly for the next batch, or ensure it is adequately diluted.
