Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
It is highly recommended to use only Rug Doctor or Floor Doctor cleaning products intended for use with your machine. Using other solutions, bleach, or dyes may permanently damage your property and the machine, and can void your warranty.
Yes, but you should only use hot tap water. Do not boil or microwave water to be used in the machine, as this can result in scalding or burns and may damage the machine.
No. You should not use Rug Doctor machines on natural fiber oriental rugs (such as silk or wool), hand-loomed wool rugs, braided rugs, sisal, or jute carpets.
Wait for the machine to sound different (a higher-pitched pump sound), which indicates the clean water is empty. Unplug the machine, remove the dirty water tank, and safely empty it into a toilet or outside. Never dump it out forcefully to ensure the internal float and cage remain intact.
