Instructions for cleaning your carpet by using a carpet cleaner

To achieve the best cleaning results, you should

Vacuum the whole areas before washing the carpet.
Rinse your carpet with plain water first. This step is very important because the cleaning solution will work better on wet carpet rather than dry carpet
Wash the carpet with your upright carpet cleaner. Go the same area a few times to clean deeply.
After that, wash the carpet again with plain water.
You may need to pre-treat the stain if it is old so the carpet cleaner can remove them easier — especially if it is a pet stain.
