Recommended Steps BEFORE SHAMPOOING:

As in all cleaning procedures, the first step is to gather the recommended janitorial equipment and supplies together and bring to the area to be cleaned.
Remove by hand obvious accumulations of soils such as gum, candy and other loose objects.

Treat stains and spots with special spotters. SEE CHART.

Move as much furniture as possible from the area.

In an out-of-the-way area, test fabric for color fastness or possible damage from shampoo.

Thoroughly vacuum to remove all loose dirt. Overlap so there is little change of soil being missed.

SHAMPOOING:

Select an area about 5’ x 10’ at one corner of carpet. Equip floor machine with special fountain brush. Fill floor machine solution tank with proper dilution of carpet shampoo and clean water.

Proceed so that you wind up in an area off the carpet to keep from walking back across the wet carpet. Release the solution as the floor machine is running.

Do not over-wet or the drying will be prolonged and carpet may shrink or be stained from the backing.

Scrub with a forward and backward motion. Overlap so that there can be no missed areas.

Hand scrub border and around corners. After scrubbing, vacuum with a wet vacuum. Then brush the nap of the carpet in one direction with the grain.

AFTER SHAMPOOING:

Arrange the best possible drying conditions and keep all traffic and furniture off until completely dry.

Then vacuum once again to lift the pile and remove any residue of loosened soil or pile.

If furniture with metal tips must be replaced on carpet that is not thoroughly dry, insert cardboard, plastic or aluminum strips underneath to prevent rust marks.

Allow time to clean up and return the cleaning equipment to the storage area.

Finally, when you are finished, wash hands and dry thoroughly.
