Very clever attachment! I always will pre-spot stains first. Their spotters work well but even the shampoo works fine as a general spotter. Shampoo like in this video. Don't let the pan get too full or you could spill dirty foam back on the carpet. Clean the tray. Always give the foam to work at least 5 minutes. Then turn the valve off. Shampoo in multiple directions. The Squeegee at the bottom will skim off the excess foam and moisture. This product will dry quickly. When completely dry vacuum again to extract left over residues/soil and fluff up carpet.

We bought our Kirby G4 in the 90’s. We still have it! It still the best vacuum we ever bought. We also bought others over the years but they were plastic and failed. The one thing about this vacuum is that it has a strong motor and will push through plush carpets. It’s also one that has the shampoo kit, so you have a shampooer that is self propelled. A must for shampooing plush carpet! Thank you Kirby. Btw, I pulled my back out trying to push a popular brand shampooer thru the plush carpet. So never again. I’ll use my Kirby. ❤

Picked up a used Sentria on Craigslist with the shampoo kit and floor buffer/fluffer for $275. Always loved these Kirbys to use as a pre-vac before a hot water extraction. My other kirby is a heritage 2. I happen to own a carpet cleaning business with a Pro-Chem 405 cfm truck mount. Hot water extraction with a rotary shampoo machine paired is king! Takes a few guys. Just for fun tried this Kirby attachment in my house and was pretty impressed for what it is! You may have to repeat this process 1 to 3 times to get decent results. It works lol. I also have a Dri-Eaz carpet dryer to dry the carpet quicker for the encapsulating process to complete. Anyone else could just use a home fan. When dry vac it up! Not bad results when I have a $20 grand machine to use outside lol. Always get a professional hot water extraction to property rinse/clean your carpet once in a while!
@paulbeach71295 жыл бұрын
Nicholas Paley The Kirby floor care system was meant to eliminate the need for hot water extractions by individual homeowners. It was recommended to continually vacuum your home for a certain amount of time before even attempting to use the shampooer, to give the Kirby enough time to remove as much dirt from below the carpet as possible, and believe me, it will. I know because I worked for Kirby after the Sentria 2 was released. We demo cleaned behind truck mounted machines and were still filling dirt pads in older houses, and pulling construction dust in the newer ones.

I am not affiliated with Kirby, but I can tell you that at least with my Heritage II model, only a small amount of water (just a little over a quart) is used to shampoo an entire room. The Kirby lays down a foam rather than dousing the carpet with a lot of water. The carpet surface gets damp, but not soaked. This small amount of water is deposited in the pan after shampooing, along with dirt and loose carpet fibers. Rather like using foaming hand sanitizer as opposed to washing one's hands.

Thank you for viewing the video. You are right that I move fast, however speed depends on the carpet and how dirty it is. A commercial carpet that is short and glued down as is the one in the video will foam up real fast, even with the knob turned way down it will foam up quickly. The thicker the carpet, the slow you will need to go. Also our carpet was mostly clean, if it had been dirtier I would have slowed down. Thanks for bring up a great point for others that my be going too fast too!

I decided to clean a carpet with the Kirby my (at the time, future-) wife bought in 2001, 3 months before I met her. Now that we've been married for 17 years, I decided it's time to remove the parts from the original bags and clean a carpet. I found the video manual, but I couldn't get the VHS tape to play on our Blu-Ray player, so I went online and found this video. Looks simple. Keep in mind I haven't actually used the shampooer yet, but, since it looks like part A goes into slot B, I'm sure it will work. One question: I'm going to clean a wool area rug, do I need a special cleaner solution or should I just go for it?

@Tatanyablue9 жыл бұрын
Paul Jenkins Depending upon the solution you use many can. Products such as Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer have bacteria destroying enzymes that target the bacteria from the urine. Many times after cleaning this bacteria is left behind and dogs and cats can still smell it and will often continue peeing in that same spot. Removing the bacteria "discourages" re-soiling by ridding this scent encouragement. Hope this answered your questions, I've worked in various pet shops and shelters in case you're wondering how I know.

Is the brush roll spinning when you turn it on? (tilt it on it's side while it's running to check). Also is it making foam? ( Do you see foam being applied to the carpet when going back and forth like the video). If the brush roll is spinning make sure you are using the proper amount of Kirby Shampoo. Make sure the little screen is attached to the tank where the small hose connects to it. (sometimes it gets lodged inside the hose)

I'm missing the lid on the tank. I'll order another one but it in the meantime can I just cover it up with duct tape or does this need to be vented? Also, I'm not getting any soap out. What might that be?
