Carpet and upholstery cleaning (pre-spray)
1. Dilute at 32:1 (32 parts water and 1 part Lavender Force). That's approximately 97% water and 3% Lavender Force (120ml of Lavender Force in 4 litres of water or 30ml per litre). For heavy-duty applications, dilute at 16:1 (16 parts water and 1 part Lavender Force).
2. Test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the suitability of the product.
3. Vacuum. Thoroughly dry vacuum with an upright vacuum cleaner or a vacuum fitted with a powerhead or turbo head to remove loose soil.
4. Pre-spray. Generously apply pre-spray. Do not allow to dry before extraction.
5. Agitate (Optional). If necessary, machine or manually agitate areas with a soft brush or scourer.
6. Extract and Clean. Using a portable carpet cleaning machine, clean/extract the fibres using slightly overlapping strokes. Use Plush rinse in the solution tank for the ultimate result.
7. Use a carpet rake or brush if necessary to re-align fibres and speed up drying.
8. Dry. Before the area is opened to traffic allow to dry. Using a carpet dryer, air mover or just turning on an air conditioning system may also speed up the drying process.
Carpet and upholstery spotting (bottle use)
1. Dilute at 4:1 (4 parts water and 1 part Lavender Force). That's 80% water and 20% Lavender Force (150ml of Lavender Force in a 750ml bottle). Add the water first, then add Lavender Force, to avoid foam and speed up the filling process.
2. Test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the suitability of the product on the surface.
3. Remove any debris or excess stain deposits.
4. Apply directly to the surface via a cloth, disposable wipe or trigger. Then blot the fibre or stain. Do not over wet. Agitate gently.
5. Leave for a few seconds or for stubborn stains allow 2-5 minutes dwell time.
6. Blot away with a disposable cleaning wipe, clean white towel or extract with a machine.
7. Repeat or adjust the process if necessary.
*Always use the appropriate XO2 labelled product bottle.
Handy tips
• Always test first in an inconspicuous area before using any cleaning solution. Play it safe, especially when you use a product for the first time. Better to be safe than sorry. Some surfaces can be sensitive to moisture and particular chemical types.
• Use warm to hot water to boost your cleaning performance (especially on oil, fat and grease).
• When pre-spraying use Plush rinse in the clean water tank for increased fibre safety and faster drying.
• Use Bubble Buster defoamer in your dirty water tank if you experience foaming from existing chemical residues in the fibres.
• Move the wand slower across heavily soiled carpet areas.
• Go over the carpet a second time dry (without pulling your wand trigger), to extract additional water and achieve dryer carpets.
• When diluting chemicals add the water first and the chemical last to prevent foaming, splashes and spills.
• For best results use freshly diluted cleaning solutions.
• Always extract rinse using Plush if you intend to apply a fabric protector to the cleaned carpet.
How do I dilute Lavender Force if I'm using an inline sprayer?
For this example, we'll assume your inline sprayer has a 4.7L bottle fitted with an 8:1 dilution tip. For normal soiling, add 3.5L of water (75%), then add 1.2L of Lavender Force (25%). For heavy soiling, add 2.35L of water (50%), then add 2.35L of Lavender Force (50%).
