The process of washing hard surfaces with a floor/carpet cleaning nozzle has its own characteristics.

During wet cleaning, water is supplied to the washing nozzle, and at the same time the brush of the hard surfaces adapter along the floor.

This may leave residual moisture on the floor covering.

In order to dry the surface, change the angle of the washing nozzle, press the rubber scraper on the adapter to the surface with a little force and collect the water by moving it towards you.

A rubber scraper with simultaneous supply of cleaning solution can also remove specific contaminants.

Special holes in the body of the vacuum cleaner make it easy to keep extra nozzles handy while cleaning.

For example, you can place a crevice nozzle, a brush or an upholstery nozzle in these holes while cleaning.

This way you always have small accessories at hand.

Some models of THOMAS vacuum cleaners are also equipped with a Vario Clip nozzle holder, which is attached to the tube or hose handle.

It is not recommended to add aromatic (essential) oils to the water during dry or wet cleaning!

Fats promote the adhesion of debris and dust particles to the parts and filters of the vacuum cleaner. This makes it difficult to maintain the vacuum cleaner after cleaning and shortens the service life of replaceable filters.

It is recommended to wash and dry the water-repellent filters in the AquaBOX lid after each cleaning.

If the suction power has decreased, it's time to wash the HEPA filter.

1. First, tap the dry filter on a hard surface;
2. Then gently rinse the entire surface of the filter under running water WITHOUT using brushes or detergents.
3. Even if the filter has turned grey, it can still trap dust perfectly. After washing, dry the filter at room temperature.

The motor protection filter with activated carbon cannot be washed, it can only be tapped out lightly.

The micro exhaust filter in the lower rear part of the vacuum cleaner is not serviceable and must be replaced.

For maximum efficiency of the entire filtration system, the manufacturer recommends changing all the filters together (the whole set) вon average once every 12 months, but this depends on how the cleaner is used (frequency of cleaning, contamination level in the room, etc.).

The process of washing a carpet occurs when water is supplied to the washing nozzle while the nozzle is moved along the surface.

The washing solution, under pressure, penetrates deep into the pile of the carpet, washing away all the dirt from the depths.

Wet and more elastic fibres of the carpet are straightened by the suction force and the surface becomes evenly fluffy. At the same time, residual moisture will be present on the surface and in the depths of the carpet.

To remove the water, change the angle of the nozzle, press it down on the carpet with a little force and collect the water in a ""pulling"" motion. For maximum effect, do this several times until no more water drops appear on the nozzle.

The transparent plastic of the nozzle makes it possible to control how the water is absorbed.

The amount of water sprayed onto the carpet by a vacuum cleaner and collected in the AquaBOX may vary by 2 or more times.

This is normal - some moisture remains in the carpet and dries out in a few hours.
