How to Use a Hoover Steam Vacuum
A Hoover Steam Vacuum has the ability to remove tough dirt, grime and stains from carpets and upholstery. The unit comes equipped with a cleaning tank, a dirty water tank and easy to remove cleaning brushes. The machine is easy to operate and is a complete back-saver, as it is an upright unit and any button that needs to be activated can be with the foot or hand without bending over.
- Thoroughly vacuum the area before deep cleaning the carpets. It is best to remove any furniture or items remaining on the carpet to get a deep, thorough clean. Additionally, it is best to remove or pin draperies where they will not be able to get wet and to protect any remaining furniture by covering it.
- Remove the top cleaning tank and fill with a commercial or natural cleaning solution and hot water. Attach your cleaning tank on your unit.
- Plug in the unit. When you turn the unit on, typically the scrubbing brushes are activated, however some models may require additional buttons to activate the cleaning brushes.
- Dispense the cleaning solution. Push the trigger to dispense the water and cleaning solution. It is best to work in small 4' x 4' areas to ensure the area you are working with is deep cleaned.
- Move the unit back and forth multiple times on areas that are stained or extremely soiled. Multiple passes may need to be made on deeply penetrated stains.
- After the area has been cleaned, do not walk on the area. Allow the area to be completely dry before using the area. Depending on the thickness of the carpet and the penetration level of water, you should allow 3 to 5 hours for the carpet to dry.
- Remove both tanks and the cleaning brushes. Clean and sanitize all three parts and layout to allow them to dry.
- After the parts are dry, replace the parts back on the unit.
