uum cleaner. Wipe dirty surfaces
with a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water.

with a soft cloth dampened with
neutral detergent diluted to approx-
imately 1%.

brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping
circles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty sur-
faces and let them dry. Excellent results are
obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as
possible.

using a cloth or sponge. Also check the
belts periodically for excessive wear, fray-
ing or cuts.
