Stain removal - Rinsing method

Removing larger stains (spot-cleaning) from surfaces and floor areas using the carpet cleaner and the wet vacuum cleaner. Suitable for water-resistant, textile floor coverings, carpets, textiles or upholstery.

01

Preparatory work

  • Select suitable products to match the surface to be cleaned (type / square metres) and the type of soiling.

  • Fill the bucket with cleaning product in accordance with the dosing instructions.

  • Put up the warning sign.

  • Use a plastic spatula to carefully break up and lift any encrustations.

  • Thoroughly remove any loose dirt (dry vacuuming or brush vacuuming).


Colour fastness pre-test:

  • Spray a small amount of stain remover onto an inconspicuous spot of the surface and leave for a short while to take effect. Then carefully dab it with the white, lint-free cloth. Continue if the surface is colour-fast (the method is otherwise unsuitable).

02

Main task

  • Pour a ring of cold water around the stain.

  • Pour the cleaning product solution directly onto the stain.

  • Work on the stain manually (e.g. with a soft brush or sponge).

  • Remove the dissolved dirt and the remaining cleaning solution with the wet vacuum cleaner (wet vacuuming).

  • Repeat the process until the stain is removed.

  • Rinse the stain with plenty of water while removing it with a wet vacuum cleaner (wet vacuuming).

  • As needed: Evenly straighten the carpet pile at the stain location with the soft brush.

  • Allow the treated surface to dry completely.

03

Final steps

  • Empty and rinse out the wet vacuum cleaner.

  • Check the power cable for visible damage, clean the cable and roll it up loosely towards the plug.

  • Remove the warning sign.

  • Dispose of any waste.

  • Clean the cleaning equipment and replace as needed.
