Cleaning Carpets
When cleaning an entire room, move furniture to the center of the room. Begin cleaning where furniture was, then
return furniture to its original location. Avoid staining carpet by placing aluminum foil under furniture legs. Clean
remainder of carpet. When finished, leave aluminum foil under furniture legs until carpet is completely dry. Complete
the following steps to clean your carpets.
1. Using a normal dry vacuum cleaner, sweep the area you want to clean to remove loose dirt before using the
Rug Doctor machine. This helps keep the brushes and water vacuum system efficient.
2. Pre-treat any special problem areas with the appropriate Rug Doctor solutions.
3. Depending on how dirty carpets are, mix 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaner product per gallon of hot
tap water in a clean bucket. Water should not be so hot as to scald or burn skin. The lower tank capacity for the
Rug Doctor Mighty Pro is 2.6 gallons and for the Rug Doctor Wide Track is 3.7 gallons. (ILLUS.1)
4. Lower the retaining wire and remove the white UPPER tank .
5. Fill the LOWER tank with the cleaning solution you just mixed by pouring through the white filter screen. Machine
is full when liquid halfway covers filter screen. (ILLUS.2)
6. If using Rug Doctor Anti-Foam, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup to white UPPER tank (ILLUS.3).
Slip tank back in place and seal tank and clear dome securely by replacing retaining wire (ILLUS.4).
7. Check the back of the machine to ensure hose connections are secure and set up to
clean carpet instead of upholstery. (ILLUS. 5)
8. Plug in the power cord and position the machine. Refer to label on top of the machine .
Press the “ON” switch for CARPET cleaning on the top of the machine (ILLUS.6).
9. While depressing the red button on the handle (ILLUS.7), pull the machine slowly and steadily backward in a
straight line, keeping vacuum slot against the carpet surface. You will begin to see soiled solution entering
the clear dome . (If you don’t, stop and refer to the Troubleshooting section.)
IMPORTANT: When depressing the handle button, keep
machine moving so the vibrating brush does not agitate
in one place. (ILLUS.8)
10. Release the button 6 to 12 inches before ending each
pass to stop cleaning solution. Tilt machine back and
push it forward to position it for another backward
cleaning pass (ILLUS.9). Continue cleaning in this
manner, overlapping each pass slightly. When the
lower tank runs out of cleaning solution, the pump
sound will increase in volume slightly and dirty
water will stop entering the dome. Switch the
machine “OFF”. Remove and empty the white
UPPER tank by pouring dirty solution into a toilet
or outdoors (ILLUS.10). Rinse the upper tank and
refill the LOWER tank with clean solution/water
mixture. If you are near the end of your cleaning
job, fill the LOWER tank half full so it empties by
the end of your job. Replace the upper tank .
Continue the cleaning process until area to be
cleaned is covered.
11. When cleaning is complete, switch the machine OFF.
To drain and clean the machine, refer to the
Cleaning Your Machine section.
