Moving in slightly overlapping passes, pull the spray extraction nozzle slowly backwards, spray the pressurised water into the floor covering via the spray nozzles and immediately remove the dissolved dirt and the remaining cleaning solution using the suction nozzle. Repeat the process until the vacuumed rinsing water runs clear.
