• Spray heavily soiled areas in advance and allow the cleaning solution to work for 5 to 10 minutes.

• Always work from light to shadow (from window to door).

• Always work from the cleaned to the uncleaned area.

• Carpets with jute backs can shrink and bleed in colour if the work is too wet.

• Brush wet pile carpets in the direction of the pile after cleaning when wet (e.g. with a fibre brush or scrubber).

• Impregnating after wet cleaning prevents the textile from being quickly soiled again.

• To avoid pressure points or rust stains, do not walk on or furnish the cleaned area until after it has fully dried.

• To improve the cleaning result, rinse the object with clean water after using detergents.
