Blot excess liquid with a clean, white absorbent material such as paper towels
or cloths. Flush the area with plain water and blot until as dry as possible. Use
diluted carpet shampoo and work small amounts of the solution into the pile
with the fingers.
CARPET EXTRACTION
Place the extractor in a remote position, often in a corner towards the entrance to the
room. Plug extractor into a 3-pronged outlet. If it is a heated model, you'll need to find 2,
20 amp outlets on separate circuits. Often times a circuit locator is built into the machine
or comes an accessory that can tell you if 2 outlets are, or are not on separate circuits.
Clean Up -
Most carpet extractors will have either a dump valve or a dump hose. A dump valve can be
backed up to a toilet, bucket, floor drain, or slop sink and dumped. If there is any clean solution
left in the solution tank, simply take the vacuum hose and suck up the rest of the clean solution.
Then again dump out the recovery tank. Flush out and clean both tanks as thoroughly as
possible. Leave the tank covers off to allow the tanks to air out and deodorize.
