HOW TO CLEAN 4. HOW TO CLEAN BEFORE YOU BEGIN CLEANING How to Clean A. Vacuum thoroughly - For carpet, use a HOOVER® vacuum cleaner with an agitator for best results. Vacuum upholstery with a vacuum cleaner with cleaning tool attachments. Use a crevice tool to reach into tufts and folds. Do not use the carpet cleaner as a dry vacuum cleaner. B. Test for colorfastness - Wet a white absorbent cloth with the detergent. In a small, hidden area, gently rub the surface with the dampened cloth. Wait ten minutes and check for color removal or bleed with white paper towel or cloth. If surface has more than one color, check all colors. C. When cleaning entire floor, move furniture out of area to be cleaned (may not be necessary if only high traffic areas are to be cleaned). For furniture too heavy to move, place aluminum foil or wax paper under legs. This will prevent wood finishes from staining carpet. Pin up furniture skirts and draperies. D. To prevent staining, use plastic or aluminum foil to protect wood or metal surfaces from possible water spray. E. To avoid wetting and possible damage to wood floors underneath area rugs, either move area rugs to a non-wood hard floor surface or place waterproof material (e.g. plastic) underneath them before cleaning. 14
