Alright, let’s talk about this here Hoover Dash Pet Carpet Cleaner. You know, the thing you use to clean up after them messy animals and kids. I ain’t got no fancy book learnin’, but I can tell ya how to use this thing.
First off, you gotta read the manual. Yeah, I know, nobody likes readin’ them things, but it’s important. It tells you all the how-tos and the don’t-dos. You can find it on that there internet, * they say. Just search for “Hoover Dash Pet Carpet Cleaner manual” and you should find it. They even got videos, if you’re like me and pictures is easier to understand.
Now, before you start, make sure that there machine ain’t plugged in. Don’t want no shocks, ya hear? And fill up them tanks. One for the clean water and soap, and one for the dirty water. They gotta be full, or it won’t work right, just like a stubborn mule that won’t pull the plow if it ain’t fed enough.
- Fill the clean water tank: Use warm water, not hot, not cold. And don’t go pourin’ just anythin’ in there. Use the right soap, the stuff they tell ya to use. Too much soap ain’t good neither, makes a mess, like too much salt in the stew.
- Empty the dirty water tank: After you’re done cleanin’, that there tank’s gonna be full of nasty stuff. Dump it out, and rinse it good. You don’t want that stinkin’ up the place.
Okay, so you got the tanks full, now what? Well, you gotta plug it in, and then turn it on. There’s a button somewhere, probably on the handle. Push it. If it don’t turn on, check the plug, make sure it’s in good. Sometimes them things are tricky.
Now, this here machine, it sprays the water and soap onto the carpet, and then sucks it back up. So you gotta move it slow, back and forth. Don’t go rushin’ it, like you’re tryin’ to outrun a storm. Take your time, let the machine do its work. If it ain’t sprayin’ water, even though you filled the tanks, might be an air bubble. They say you gotta turn it on and lower the hose to the floor. Like coaxin’ a calf to its mama, gotta be gentle with it.
And don’t go soakin’ the carpet. You just want it damp, not drippin’ wet. Too much water ain’t good, takes forever to dry, and then it starts to stink. Like leavin’ wet clothes in a basket too long.
Now, when you’re done cleanin’, you gotta clean the machine. Yeah, I know, it’s a pain, but you gotta do it. Empty them tanks, rinse ’em out. And clean the brushes, too. They get all full of hair and dirt and whatnot. If that there machine stops working all of a sudden, unplug it, take off the nozzle, and take out the brushes. Then put the nozzle back, plug it in, and turn it on and off a few times. Then put the brushes back in. That should reset it, like wakin’ up a sleepy dog.
Cleaning and keeping up with the machine is important too. Don’t go dunking the whole thing in water, you’ll ruin it for sure. Use some mild soap and water to wipe it down. And don’t use no harsh chemicals, like that alcohol stuff or gasoline. That’ll just mess it up. Just wipe it down with a damp cloth, like you’re wiping down the kitchen table.
And one more thing, don’t go usin’ this thing on anything but carpet. It ain’t made for hardwood floors or nothin’ like that. And make sure the carpet ain’t soakin’ wet from the cleaner. It ain’t waterproof ya know. If you do that you can get a nasty fire or zap ya good, that is according to them manual folks.
So there ya have it. That’s how you use a Hoover Dash Pet Carpet Cleaner. It ain’t rocket science, just common sense. And if you get stuck, go find that there manual, it’ll tell ya what to do. And if that there machine breaks, or you need a new part, you gotta go find someone who knows how to fix it. I ain’t no repair woman, I just know how to clean.
Remember, if you’re still havin’ trouble, or need a part, you can always ask for help. Don’t be too proud. We all need a little help sometimes, like a farmer needs help from his neighbors at harvest time.
Now go on and get that carpet clean. And if them pets or young’uns make another mess, well, you know what to do.
