Mix Rug Doctor Carpet Cleaner with hot tap water in a clean bucket, following the directions on the product label. Ensure the water is hot but not so hot that it could scald or burn your skin. The Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 has a tank capacity of 9 litres.

To begin, lower the restraining wire and remove the white upper tank. Pour the cleaning solution mixture into the red lower tank through the filter screen. Fill the tank until the liquid reaches the “Fill to here” line, which is marked halfway up the filter screen.

Next, refit the white upper tank into place. Secure the tank and the clear plastic dome by replacing the restraining wire to ensure a proper seal. Check the back of the machine to confirm the hose connection is firmly attached.

Plug in the power cord and position the machine in the area you plan to clean. Before using the Rug Doctor, thoroughly vacuum the area with your own dry vacuum cleaner to remove any loose dirt.

Finally, pre-treat any problem spots with Britex Spot 'n' Stain, Britex Urine Remover or Britex Odour Blaster for best results.

Refer to the label on top of the machine and turn the switch to the “ON” position for carpet cleaning. While holding down the red button on the top of the handle—or, depending on the model, squeezing the red trigger—slowly pull the machine backwards in a straight line at a steady pace. Make sure the front metal vacuum slot stays in contact with the carpet surface. After a few seconds, you’ll begin to see dirty water entering the clear dome.

About 30cm before reaching the end of your cleaning pass, release the red button to stop the spray while the suction continues. This helps avoid oversaturating the carpet. Then tilt the machine back slightly and move it forward to position it for your next pass. Overlap each pass by approximately 5cm to ensure consistent, even cleaning.

When the cleaning solution has run out, you’ll notice a change in the machine’s sound and the dirty water will stop flowing into the clear dome. At this point, stop and empty the upper white tank, then refill the lower red tank with a fresh solution mixture before continuing.

Once you’ve finished cleaning, take the machine outside or over a drain. Turn the machine “ON” in the upholstery setting to empty any remaining solution from the lower tank.

Before returning the machine to the store, be sure to clean it according to the instructions located on the back of the machine. Finally, switch the machine to the “OFF” position.

Rug Doctor and Britex products are safe for use on many fabrics, including some delicate fibres. However, it’s important to note that damage may occur if used on fabrics not designed for hot water extraction cleaning. Do not use on suede, Haitian cotton, leather, or non-colourfast fabrics. 

Before cleaning, prepare the surface by thoroughly vacuuming or brushing to remove any loose dirt or debris. Set up the machine, making sure to check and secure the hose connections located at the rear of the machine.

First, detach the top portion of the large vacuum hose at the back of the machine. Connect this top portion to the vacuum hose on the Hand Tool. Then, attach the brass connector to the small diversion valve and tighten it securely to ensure proper engagement.

Next, remove the upper white tank from the machine. In a clean bucket, mix Britex Upholstery Cleaner with water according to the label directions, and pour the solution into the lower red tank.

Refit the white upper tank and secure it by replacing the restraining wire, making sure the tank and clear dome are sealed tightly. Plug in the power cord and position the machine where needed. Refer to the label on top of the machine and turn it to the Upholstery/Hand Tool cleaning setting.

Before beginning, always test for colourfastness. Clean a small, hidden area and blot it with a white towel. If no colour transfers, you can safely proceed. A small amount of colour on the towel suggests a slight risk of colour running, so proceed with caution. After cleaning, allow cushions to dry on clean sheets or towels laid flat on the floor.

Begin cleaning by working at a slow, steady pace. Squeeze the hand tool lever as you pull the tool across the fabric, making sure to slightly overlap each stroke.

Important: Do not press the button on the machine handle while using the hand tool, as it is not needed for upholstery cleaning.

If foam begins to build up around the hand tool, try pulling a little faster or make a second pass over the area without squeezing the lever to vacuum up any excess solution.

When you've finished cleaning, disconnect the upholstery tool. To empty any remaining solution from the lower tank, take the machine outside or place it over a drain and turn the machine to the upholstery setting. This will release the remaining liquid.

Before returning the machine to the store, make sure it has been cleaned in accordance with the instructions located on the back of the machine. Reconnect the vacuum hose securely, and ensure the switch is turned to the OFF position.

Note: For velvet upholstery, use a soft brush or towel to gently fluff up the damp pile and prevent matting.
