    Vacuum carpet (see page 10, HOW TO DRY VACUUM).
    Decide where to begin — and end — your job. Clean in 
    3’ X 4’ sections, starting in areas farthest from exit. Plan
    to leave a path open to empty collection tank and
    replenish filling cavity.
    Carpeting will dry in two to four hours, depending on
    carpet style and air circulation in room. A floor fan
    speeds drying.
    Plan activities to give carpet time to dry.
    Replace furniture on damp carpeting by placing waxed
    paper under legs until floor dries completely.
    Check manufacturer’s tag before cleaning. “W” or “WS”
    on the tag means you can use your Big Green. If tag is
    coded with an “S” (with diagonal strike-through), or says
    “Dry Clean Only,” do not proceed.
    If manufacturer’s tag is missing or not coded, check with
    your furniture dealer.
    If possible, check upholstery stuffing. Colored stuffing
    may bleed through fabric when wet.
    The Big Green is not recommended for cleaning 
    wood floors.
    Use only Bissell
    ®Floor Care cleaning solution on no-wax
    floors. Never use Bissell®Carpet Cleaner or other carpet
    cleaners on bare floors.
    Sweep before starting.
    Remove old wax before cleaning.
    Leave an exit path.
    Allow at least 1/2 hour drying time.

    How To Begin

    Tip:
    Always vacuum before you clean. If
    possible, move large furniture
    aside. But if it’s not possible to
    move your furniture, don’t worry 
    - your Big Green features a clean-
    ing wand that easily maneuvers
    under and around furniture.
