Tools & Materials Needed:

Procedures:
SHAMPOOING PROCEDURES:

1. Put on gloves and goggles.
2. Before shampooing, remove as much furniture as possible from the area that is to be shampooed.
3. Vacuum the carpet thoroughly with a beater vacuum. A thorough vacuuming is important.
4. Fill scrubber tank with solution of water and Carpet Shampoo.
5. Pre-spray hard to clean areas such as entrances, around corners, etc. If stains are prevalent, spray stains and remove with blotting cloth.
6. Starting in the upper right corner, work to the left across the room with the shampoo feed open. On the return pass, drop back one-half the machine width, going to the right with the shampoo feed open.
7. Coming back across the carpet to the left, through the middle of the first two passes with the shampoo feed closed.
8. Avoid over wetting.
9. Pick up all moisture with a wet/dry vacuum or a carpet extractor filled with clean water only if you prefer to rinse the shampoo and soil from the carpet fiber.
10. Hand clean around corners, edges, and other obstructions where the rotary shampoo will not reach.
11. Use a stiff push broom and push the nap straight up so it dries thoroughly.
12. After carpet is thoroughly dry, vacuum.
13. If the furniture is to be replaced before the carpet is thoroughly dry, use aluminum foil or plastic squares under all legs. This will prevent rust and damage to the legs of furniture.

SALVAGE CLEANING
For salvage cleaning, utilize the same tools as for Rotary Cleaning. Replace the wet/dry vac with a carpet extractor filled with clean water. This is a two man operation; while one man runs the rotary, the other rinses the carpet with the extractor.
