Rug Doctor carpet cleaner leaves carpets overly wet even after multiple suction passes.

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspecting the floor head.

• 1. Check suction performance: Verify that the recovery tank, lid, and gaskets are sealing properly and that suction is strong at the hose.
• 2. Inspect intake slot: Turn the machine over and clean the vacuum intake slot at the floor head. Remove lint, hair, and debris.
• 3. Check squeegee: Inspect the rubber squeegee or vacuum shoe at the front or rear of the head. Replace if torn, hardened, or missing.
• 4. Adjust technique: Make slower extraction passes without spraying, allowing the vacuum to remove more moisture.

Tip: Use additional dry passes after cleaning to speed drying time.
