Stairs can take a lot of effort to clean. But, the Rug Doctor Hand Tool can make it a breeze! It will get into all of the nooks and crannies to leave every inch of your stairs looking like new.
Just follow our guide below to find out how to clean your stairs with ease.
Step 1
Vacuum your stairs well before using your Rug Doctor.
Step 2
Remove the upper tank from the machine. Add 150ml of Rug Doctor Carpet Detergent to the lower tank, then fill it with hot water to around halfway up the mesh filter.
Step 3
Securely attach the upper tank to the Rug Doctor with the black retaining wire.
Step 4
Disconnect the pipes on the back of the machine, then connect the smaller solution pipe from the Hand Tool to the brass connector. Also attach the larger vacuum pipe to the vacuum hose.
Step 5
Plug in the machine, set the switch on the top to ‘Hand Tool Use’, then turn your Rug Doctor on.
Step 6
Begin cleaning at the top of the stairs. To do this, pull the Hand Tool backwards over the carpet while squeezing the trigger to spray the cleaning solution. Then, release the trigger and repeat this process.
Step 7
When you’ve finished, spray out any excess cleaning solution.
Step 8
Disconnect the Hand Tool and reconnect the pipes. Then, remove the upper tank and empty out the dirty water.
Step 9
Detach the filter and clean it under a tap. You can then replace it, ready for when you need it next.
Tips
Make sure to never use water that might scald your skin, and always fill your Rug Doctor with lukewarm water for woollen carpets. Ensure all connections are secure before cleaning.
