Surface Cleaning Tips
Caution: Do not try to clean surfaces that are made of pressed paper, cardboard, or any surface that is
painted with a non-enamel paint.
Carpets
Note:
Vapor steam cleaners are not designed for full carpet cleaning.
Spot cleaning carpets with your
KLEENJET® PRO PLUS 300CS
is a three step process.
1. Vacuum the entire carpet.
2. Spot-clean the carpet with your
KLEENJET® PRO PLUS 300CS
(The vapor causes the dirt and soil
particles to loosen their grip on the carpet fibers and opens up the fibers). Work about six square feet at a
time. Use either the Large Rectangular Brush (32) or the Large Triangular Brush (35). It is recommended to
use two towels since the nylon bristles on it are stiff and cause too much drag-low on medium pressure. Use
vigorous back and forth and side-to-side motions to loosen dirt on all sides of the fibers. You will see the
towel get dirty as stains come off on it. Change the towel as often as necessary. Remember the towel is your
“extractor” in this process, and you are removing the stain without leaving the carpet wet.
3. Use the Large Triangular Brush (35) with a towel to remove any remaining spots. Low pressure should be
used.
Carpets, industrial grade looped
Remove imbedded gum, tar, candy, etc. before beginning the above procedure. If it is necessary to use a
solvent on deeply imbedded tar spots, use only a very small amount.
Prevent the spreading of the stain by extracting the dissolved material out of the carpet with a wet/dry
vacuum cleaner or a clean folded towel as quickly as possible. Lightly spray the area again with detergent
and blow the remaining stain out of the carpet with low pressure vapor while gently wiping the fibers clean
with a clean white towel.
Use the Large Triangular Brush (35) to finish cleaning the spot. The Large Triangular Brush (35) should be
used in conjunction with a towel while the machine is on low pressure. Follow the above technique to clean
the rest of the carpet.
Beware that woven looped fiber industrial carpet can hold on to dirt and stain particles so tightly that it is
very difficult to get them out of the carpet.
The process described above of removing tar, gum, etc, will leave the area much cleaner than the surrounding
carpet, raising its nap and restoring its original color. The cleaned area will stand out like a sore thumb for
several days until the carpet has been walked on.
