CLEANUP INSTRUCTIONS:
(if you choose to clean it that it):
Use dishwasher soap to remove dirt and rubbing alcohol (available at your local pharmacy) to remove paint if any.
Leave the water tank open and let it dry. If you choose to wipe it off inside - do NOT use toilet tissue as it will disintegrate and eventually clog the valve under ON/OFF knob.
It is better to avoid submerging brush roll in the water. If you did - leave it standing vertically so water would drain.

MANUAL - If you have never used this shampooed we highly recommend taking a look at our ONLINE CARPET SHAMPOO SYSTEM MANUAL or getting a printed owners manual. This is a simple but very effective unit but you have to learn how to use it and "common sense" will not be enough!


Operation:
Tank with soapy solution is attached in place of the bag. It utilizes the air coming out of the exhaust to blow soapy water on a small screen that turns it into thick foam. The foam is simply laid over the carpet (you must vacuum before you shampoo). Foam allows to spread small amount of water over the larger area so carpet is not soaked all the way through. Foam is left on the carpet for a few minutes so it has just enough time to moisten the fibers of the carpet and loosen the dirt (not too long otherwise foam may dry). Then foam maker is set to "OFF" and you slowly pull Kirby vacuum over the area where you laid the foam. The rotating brush in the shampooer nozzle rubs the moisture off carpet fibers and and throws it into the tray in front of the unit. You will not see gallons of dirty water but that is because you did not put it on the rug in the first place. Carpet should dry within 1-4 hours (depends how many times you laid the foam and what is humidity in the room). After it dries it has to be vacuumed. Solution that did not get picked up with the shampooer brush dries and shampoo additives do not let the dirt stick back to the fibers of the carpet. It is loose when it dries but it is there so in order to pick up what is left loose you have to vacuum.
Shampoo:
You can use any carpet shampoo sold in your local store but make sure that this is carpet shampoo that makes foam and pay attention how much you have to dilute it with water as various shampoo products come in different concentration. Avoid using "just anything" that makes foam. Some household chemicals (such as dishwasher fluid) will do great job but it will leave carpet unprotected so dirt will stick to it so well that you will have a filthy rug in no time.
