Cleaning Carpets and Rugs

For carpets and rugs, use the Dual V Nozzle for efficient cleaning. Apply hot tap water and Hoover-approved cleaning solution. Test a small area first to ensure color safety. Use slow, overlapping passes to thoroughly clean high-traffic zones. Avoid over-saturating fabrics. For best results, clean in multiple directions to lift dirt and stains effectively. Regularly rinse the tank and refill as needed for optimal performance.

Cleaning Upholstery and Stairs

For upholstery and stairs, attach the handheld upholstery tool or stair tool. Always check the fabric cleaning code to ensure compatibility. Gently apply cleaning solution, working in small sections. Use a clean, damp cloth to blot stains, avoiding excessive moisture. For stairs, clean one step at a time, ensuring thorough coverage. Allow surfaces to air dry completely to prevent dampness or mold growth.

Using the Cleaner on Hard Floors

The Hoover SteamVac Dual V is suitable for hard floors when used with the appropriate hard floor tool. Before cleaning, sweep or vacuum to remove debris.

Allow the floor to air dry for a streak-free finish.

Applying Cleaning Solution Effectively

Use only Hoover-recommended cleaning solutions for optimal results. Add the solution to the tank as directed, ensuring proper dilution. Apply it evenly to the carpet using the Dual V nozzle, working in sections. Avoid over-saturating the carpet, as this can damage fibers. For tough stains, apply a small amount directly before cleaning. Always refer to the manual for specific instructions tailored to your cleaning needs.
