Operating Instructions

Pre-Treatment (Optional but Recommended):

  1. Spray the pre-treatment solution directly onto the stain.
  2. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes to loosen the stain. Do not let it dry.

Spot Cleaning:

  1. Power On: Plug the unit into a grounded electrical outlet. Press the power button to turn on the cleaner.
  2. Apply Solution: Hold the cleaning tool over the stain. Press the trigger on the tool to spray cleaning solution onto the stained area.
  3. Scrub and Extract: Gently scrub the stain with the brush on the cleaning tool. Release the trigger and slowly pull the tool over the wet area to extract the dirty solution. Repeat as necessary until the stain is removed and the extracted water appears clean.
  4. Dry the Area: After cleaning, continue to extract any remaining moisture from the cleaned area by pulling the tool over it without pressing the spray trigger. This helps to speed up drying time.
  5. Power Off: Once cleaning is complete, turn off the unit and unplug it from the outlet.
