The following are the recommended procedures and general guidelines for cleaning carpets with Renew Shampoo when used with the Karcher Puzzi 100

Machine operation:

newsspot

Mix the RENEW Carpet Shampoo with clean water as instructions. Note: Warm water , up to max. 50° C. increases the cleaning efficiency of the solution

newsspot

Fill the fresh-water tank up to the "Max." line with the cleaning solution.

newsspot

Place dirty water container in the housing and put lid on.

newsspot

Put power plug into socket.

newsspot

Switch on unit with the "Suction" and "Spray" buttons.

newsspot

To spray - press lever on grip section of floor or hand tool, and keep it pressed. This allows the solution to be sprayed on and into the fibres and then vacuumed in the same process.

newsspot

Go over the surface to be cleaned in overlapping strips with the floor or hand tool, working backwards.

newsspot

When the dirty water reservoir is full or the fresh-water tank is empty of solution, it is essential to turn the unit off with the "Suction" and "Spray" buttons.

newsspot

Remove cover , take out dirty water reservoir and empty.

newsspot

Repeat above procedures as necessary.

Cleaning methods:

newsspot

Always test a small hidden area of the carpet or upholstery for colour fastness prior to cleaning.

newsspot

Normally dirty carpets:

  • Add 100ml of RENEW WS carpet shampoo to every 7 litres of warm water and then clean the carpet in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
  • Use machine as above.

newsspot

Heavy soiled or stained carpets:

  • Add 150ml of the RENEW WS shampoo to every 7 litres of warm water and then clean the carpet in accordance with the manufactures instructions.
  • Use machine as above but do not switch on the vacuum button -simply spray the solution onto the carpet and leave for 10-15 mins. Then go over the area with both the "Suction" and "Spray" buttons switched on.

General tips:

newsspot

Always test a small hidden area of the carpet or upholstery for colour fastness prior to cleaning.

newsspot

The more sensitive the fibres (Oriental rugs, Berber carpets, upholstery) - the less RENEW WS Shampoo should be used.

newsspot

Hemp backed carpets can shrink if over wetted - and colours can run.

newsspot

Brush deep pile carpets when they are wet in the direction of the pile (e.g. with a pile brush or scrubber).

newsspot

Better cleaning results are achieved if warm water is used ( max. 50° C.)

newsspot

Pre-spot badly stained areas separately with RENEW Stain Remover and follow instructions on the container.

newsspot

Always work from light to dark, that means from windows to doors.

newsspot

Always work from the cleaned area to the non-cleaned area.

newsspot

Do not walk on cleaned areas or place furniture on them until they have dried.

newsspot

The fresh-water tank can be emptied simply by suction:

  • Take Floor Tool or Hand Tool off suction hose
  • Hold suction hose in the un-used cleaning solution in the fresh-water tank and switch on the unit with the "Suction" button.
  • The cleaning solution which has been suctioned off collects in the dirty water reservoir - empty reservoir.

newsspot

Put Floor Tool or Hand Tool on suction hose.
