PRACTICAL CLEANING
CLEANING TIPS & PREPARATION
CHECKING THE FITTING AND CONDITION
Check the condition of the area to be cleaned. Look for loose carpet, heavily soiled areas, stains or spots and worn areas. Bring these to the attention of the person in charge before proceeding. Make sure all edges of the carpet are secured or tacked in place and all seams are sewn or glued tight. This is your protection against shrinkage.
IDENTIFY CARPET AND FIBRE TYPE
Synthetic fibres such as nylon and polypropylene respond well to hot water extraction cleaning and are more resistant to alkaline chemicals and shrinkage than wool or wool-mix fibres. When cleaning wool or wool-mix fibres, always use approved cleaning solutions and avoid over-wetting.
TESTING FOR COLOUR FASTNESS
Locate an inconspicuous spot on the area to be cleaned. Test carpet for colour-fastness before proceeding. Apply S709 Multi Pro diluted at 1 part to 4 parts water and cover with a clean white towel or tissue and place a weighted object on top. Wait approximately 10 minutes then remove weight and examine towel or tissue. If there is no colour transfer the carpet should be safe to clean. If there is a colour change on the carpet or transfer of colour to the towel or tissue then carry out the same test with B109 Fibre & Fabric Rinse diluted at 1 part to 20 parts water. It may be possible to clean the carpet using B109 Fibre & Fabric Rinse. For further advice contact Prochem’s technical department.
MOVING AND REPLACING FURNITURE
Remove the furniture from the area to be cleaned.
Large pieces can be moved to the opposite end of the room from where you start cleaning and replaced when cleaning is completed. Plan your cleaning route. Start cleaning at the furthest point away from where you plugged in the machine and work back towards the outlet so that the power cable will not get in the way. After cleaning carpet, always place foil protector pads under furniture legs to prevent moisture from damaging the finish and dye and rust from transferring to the carpet.
DRY VACUUMING & PRE-TREATMENT
Vacuum clean the area using an upright vacuum.
DO NOT USE THE FIVESTAR MACHINE AS A
DRY VACUUM! Heavily soiled areas or areas of concentrated foot traffic should be pre-treated with recommended pre-spotting or pre-spray solutions.
CLEANING CARPET
1. PREPARE THE MACHINE
Make sure switch is in the “off” position and all hoses are connected. Using only approved cleaning solution, mix according to label instructions and add to “Cleaning Solution” side of machine bucket. Do not fill past “maximum fill level” indicated in bucket. To reduce foaming in dirty water section of bucket, add Defoamer solution according to label instructions. Do not add Defoamer solution to cleaning solution side of machine bucket. Place bucket onto machine then close and secure lid using bucket handle.
2. TO CLEAN
Turn switch to carpet position. If the machine is an “All-Floor” model, turn the solution control valve located on the side of machine to
“carpet”. Turn pump switch on. While pushing
“activate” switch, pull machine while stepping backwards. Release “activate” switch, 6” before ending of cleaning stroke. Repeat cleaning stroke with 3” overlaps. Continue cleaning until cleaning solution is used. Empty bucket into waste sink or toilet then rinse dirty water section and repeat steps 1 and 2.
3. CHECK BUCKET LID
If excessive foam appears in lid, switch off, check dirty water side of bucket and add more
Defoamer solution if required.
4. CLEAN UP
Clean lid filter screen and rinse out bucket.
Wipe all surfaces including bottom of machine.
Remove carpet lint and strings from brush and vacuum nozzle.

CLEANING UPHOLSTERY
CAUTION – WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
ATTENDING AN UPHOLSTERY CLEANING
COURSE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN
FABRIC UPHOLSTERY.
General instructions
Cleaning upholstery with success requires a good knowledge of the type of fabric to be worked on.
Look for the cleaning instruction label sewn on the underside of the furniture for the recommended method of cleaning the fabric. If it calls for dry cleaning, do not attempt to clean with the wet extraction method. Otherwise, damage to the fabric could occur. Extraction works well on most wetcleanable fabrics, including synthetic (acrylic) velvets.
Before proceeding, test the fabric for colourfastness. Apply a small amount of ready-to-use cleaning solution on the fabric in an inconspicuous area. Wait for 2 to 3 minutes and blot the area with a white terry cloth towel. If no colour comes off onto the towel, the fabric should be safe to clean. If a little colour comes off, there is some risk of colours running when you clean. It may be possible to stabilise colours by cleaning with B109 Fibre &
Fabric Rinse. Refer to the “Testing For Colour-
Fastness” under Cleaning Tips and Preparation.
On heavily soiled areas like arm rests, pre-treat with a recommended pre-spray.
1. PREPARE THE MACHINE
Complete step 1 under Carpet Cleaning
Instructions using approved upholstery cleaning solution. Disconnect vacuum hose with black hose cuff from lid and disconnect solution hose from back of machine. Replace them with the upholstery tool hoses.
2. TO CLEAN
Turn switch to upholstery position. If the machine is an All-Floor model, turn the solution control valve located on the side of the machine to “carpet”. Turn pump switch on.
Depress upholstery tool trigger while pulling tool across upholstery surface. Clean with the upholstery tool using as little solution as possible. Make overlapping passes to prevent streaking. Go over the area you just cleaned without depressing the solution trigger (vacuum only) and gauge the amount of moisture extracted for dryness. On heavily soiled areas like arm rests, pre-treat with a recommended pre-spray. Continue cleaning until cleaning solution is used. Empty bucket into waste sink or toilet then rinse dirty water section and repeat steps 1 and 2.
3. CHECK BUCKET LID
If excessive foam appears in lid, switch off, check dirty water side of bucket and add more
Defoamer solution if required.
4. CLEAN UP
Clean lid filter screen and rinse out bucket.
CLEANING HARD FLOORS
(ALL-FLOOR MODEL ONLY)
If your machine has a “solution control valve” located on the side of the machine, you may clean hard floors using the following instruction.
1. Turn the solution control valve located on the side of the machine to “Floor”.
2. WARNING: Use only approved floor cleaning solutions. To avoid possible scratching on soft floor surfaces such as vinyl and linoleum and stone floors such as marble and terrazzo, remove all abrasive materials from the surface to be cleaned using dust mopping and dry vacuuming. The Fivestar All-Floor is intended for use in general maintenance to wet clean hard floor surfaces. Do not use the machine to apply floor finish (emulsion polish), floor polish stripper or to vacuum up floor polish stripper.
3. PREPARE THE MACHINE
Make sure switch is in the “off” position and all hoses are connected. Using only approved floor cleaning solution, mix according to label instructions and add to “Cleaning Solution” side of machine bucket. Do not fill past “maximum fill level” indicated in bucket. To reduce foaming in dirty water section of bucket, add Defoamer solution according to label instructions. Do not add Defoamer solution to cleaning solution side of machine bucket. Place bucket onto machine then close and secure lid using bucket handle.
4. TO CLEAN
Turn the solution control valve located on the side of machine to “Floor”. Turn pump switch on. While pushing “activate” switch, pull machine while stepping backwards. Release
“activate” switch, 6” before ending of cleaning stroke. Repeat cleaning stroke with 3” overlaps.
Continue cleaning until cleaning solution is used. Empty bucket into waste sink or toilet then rinse dirty water section and repeat steps
3 and 4.
5. CHECK BUCKET LID
If excessive foam appears in lid, switch off, check dirty water side of bucket and add more

ACCESSORIES & CHEMICALS
ACCESSORIES
HAND / UPHOLSTERY TOOL
Complete with 2.4 metre hose, this lightweight cleaning tool is designed for extraction cleaning stair carpeting, edges, small rugs and inaccessible areas. Also ideal for rinse extracting stains after treatment with an appropriate Prochem spotting agent. This tool can also be used for extraction cleaning of upholstery fabrics, subject to pre-testing of fabric and suitability of water-based cleaning.
VACUUM & SOLUTION EXTENSION HOSE
A 3 metre extension hose assembly for use with the upholstery tool when cleaning stairs and difficult to reach areas.
CHEMICALS
Prochem specialise in manufacturing chemical products for the soft furnishing cleaning industry, including carpets, floor coverings, upholstery fabrics and curtains. This section refers only to the basic
Prochem chemicals for general on-site carpet cleaning using the hot water extraction method.
S775 EXTRACTION PRO
A wide use carpet cleaning formula containing a high concentration of non-resoiling detergents, builders and brighteners for effective cleaning of synthetic and natural fibre carpets. S775 has an approximate pH of 8.5 and should be diluted with hot water at the rate of 10 ml. per litre (1 to 100).
S709 MULTI PRO
A concentrated pre-spotter and traffic lane cleaner for treating spots, stains and heavily soiled traffic areas prior to extraction cleaning. Dilute with warm water at 1 - 4 to 1 - 8 and apply by sprayer. For best results, brush into pile using Prochem carpet pile brush before following up with extraction cleaning process. S709 has a diluted pH of 10.5, therefore always pre-test fibres for colour fastness before use.
B109 FIBRE & FABRIC RINSE
A mild acidic concentrate for use as a rinse to restore correct pH to the fibre. B109 will help to stabilise fugitive dyes and reduce the possibility of
'jute browning' caused by over-wetting or the use of alkaline cleaning solutions. B109 can be used in place of S775 in the extraction machine solution tank, or applied by sprayer after cleaning. Dilute 10 ml. per litre of warm water through your machine.
B109 is normally only used when a dye test suggests the possibility of dye bleed or on light coloured carpets when JUTE is part of the construction and may cause BROWNING.
S760 LIQUID DEFOAMER
Always use S760 especially when foam problems from soapy residue left from previous shampoo cleaning are encountered. Mix 20 ml. of S760 with
500ml of cold water and add to vacuum hose and recovery tank. As you drain off to empty the recovered soiled solution, you simply add more
S760 as necessary. Remember, it is only necessary to add S760 when extraction cleaning previously shampooed carpets, so always check the recovery tank for foam at the start of each job.
STAIN REMOVERS, SPOTTERS, PROTECTORS
& DEODORISERS
Speciality products such as those listed above are available from the Prochem range. Refer to the chemical section of the Product Catalogue for more details. Individual Product Safety Data Sheets on all products are available direct from Prochem or

The vacuum motor is lubricated for life - no additional lubrication is required. The only other maintenance that may be required is changing the motor brushes. This should only be carried out
by an individual with THOROUGH knowledge of
electric motors.
The brushes should be changed before the brush wears to within 3/8" of the brass holder.
With heavy usage we recommend that the brushes be checked every 3 months. The recommended inspection period for normal usage is at least every 6 months. The estimated brush life is approximately 400 to 450 hours, but inspection and replacement should take place at least every 350 hours to prevent the possibility that brush wear may cause damage to the vacuum motor.
On re-assembly, the lead wires must be kept away from the rotating parts and the motor frame. Always ensure that the green earth wire is re-connected to the vacuum motor body to ensure safe operation.
To achieve maximum life, the brushes should be seated on the commutator before full voltage is applied. Do this by applying 50% of the rated voltage for thirty minutes. In the event of electrical or mechanical failure, refer to the General Fault
Finding Guide page in this manual and contact your
Prochem Distributor. Although some service parts are available, we recommend that defective vacuums be replaced.
