How to Clean a Carpet with Kärcher Puzzi 10/1

What is the problem?

Without a short walkthrough, people often move the tool too fast or pour on too much solution — leaving the carpet damp for longer than it should be.

The solution

Prepare the tanks, dose the chemistry precisely, work in slow overlapping lanes with the floor tool, and empty the dirty-water tank on time.

How does it work?

1. Fill the clean-water tank and add chemistry to the correct dose — 1 €/pc.
2. Attach the floor tool — it's designed for carpets, not baldų.
3. Turn the machine on and check that spraying and suction work together.
4. Start from the far corner and work in slow, straight lanes.
5. Pass over each lane again without solution to recover extra moisture.
6. Empty the dirty-water tank once it's about half full — a full tank weakens suction.
7. Rinse the hoses with clean water before returning the equipment.

Getting the Puzzi 10/1 Ready to Work

Before starting, check both tanks — the clean-water one should be full, the dirty one empty. Add chemistry only to the clean-water tank, to the specified dose (1 €/pc), not by guesswork.

Once the floor tool is attached, test it briefly on a small area — check that the solution sprays evenly and that suction kicks in right after spraying.

Technique: Lanes, Dose, Suction

Guide the tool slowly in straight lanes with a small overlap — that avoids leaving unwashed strips. Moving too fast is the most common reason a carpet ends up too damp.

Watch the dirty-water tank: once the liquid noticeably darkens or the tank is nearly full, stop and empty it — continuing with a full tank reduces suction power and leaves moisture in the pile.

Practical tips

• The floor tool is for carpets — not the baldų nozzle, which is for sofas and armchairs.
• Don't rush — a slower pass always gives a drier result.
• Empty the tank more often than seems necessary.
• First time using it? Test the technique on a small area first.
