1. Choose the Right Solution
Depending on the type of carpet or upholstery you’re cleaning, you’ll need to select the appropriate cleaning solution. Rug Dr Pro offers a variety of solutions specifically designed for different surfaces, so check the product labels to make sure you’re using the right one.
2. Fill the Solution Tank

3. Add Water
After adding the cleaning solution, fill the remaining space in the solution tank with clean, warm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage the carpet fibers.
4. Replace the Solution Tank
Once you’ve filled the solution tank, secure it back onto the Rug Dr Pro machine, ensuring it’s firmly in place.

For optimal cleaning results, you may need to adjust the solution spray settings based on the condition of your carpet or upholstery. Here’s a table outlining the recommended settings:

Agitating and Brushing the Rug
After applying the cleaning solution, it’s time to agitate and brush the rug to remove dirt and grime. Follow these steps for optimal results:
1. Agitate the Rug
Use the Rug Dr Pro’s motorized brush head to gently agitate the rug fibers. This helps loosen dirt and debris trapped in the pile.

Apply light to medium pressure while brushing. Excessive pressure can damage delicate rugs.

Periodically rotate the brush head to maintain even wear and prevent brush bristles from becoming matted.
