Use the Rectangular Brush topped with a large square to spray slowly over the entire surface to expel dust, residue and deodorize.

Make several passes with the same assembly once in one direction, once in the other, to open the fibres. Result: revived colours and inflated fibres!

TIPS & TRICKS

  • NEVER use the sprayer to remove stains from fabrics (carpets, rugs or furniture – sofas, armchairs, etc.): the metal (brass) tip of the sprayer can burn the fibres and cause irreparable damage to fabrics, leaving indelible marks.
  • To treat stains, use only the steam gun, without accessories. Spray parallel to the surface of the stain and all around (avoid spraying perpendicularly to avoid embedding the stain in the fibres). Then wipe gently with the glove, without rubbing to avoid generating lint. A simple ‘caress’ of the fibre is enough.
  • To remove solid residues (glue, chewing gum, etc): spray in the same way (in parallel). Then gently pick up the residue with disposable paper to avoid compromising your equipment (such as an MFV, which could be damaged if chewing gum were to stick to it).
  • Special precaution for PURE LAINE VIERGE à BOUCLETTES: if there is a stain, keep the steam gun at least 15 cm away. Avoid getting too close to the steam to avoid opening the curls and causing an irreversible ‘mottled’ effect. Wipe gently with the glove, never rubbing.
  • ERGONOMICS: To avoid bad posture that can affect my postural health, always practice with one hand in the back, the other hand operating the Vapodil’s broom.
