VAX. For a really clean home.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DECISION TO BUY A VAX MACHINE

You have just taken the first step towards achieving a cleaner and healthier home environment.

All VAX machines denver outstanding results in everyday use as a vacuum cleaner and allow you to achieve a new standard in cleaning for your carpets and upholstery with a regular washing regime.

Carpets are one of the biggest investments you make in your home. In the past it has been difficult to clean and maintain them as you would other items around the home and it can be hard to tell just how dirty they get through normal everyday wear. Particles of dirt get trodden deep down into the carpet pile and eventually damage the fibres and shorten its life, Ordinary vacuuming only tackles the surface of the problem and may remove little more than a tenth of the dirt.

The unique VAX simultaneous washing action gets to the root of the problem and gently dislodges the dirt, dust and grease held deep down In the carpet's pile lifting it clean away.

Regular washing with your VAX revitalises and protects the carpet fibres keeping colours bright without overwetting or damaging the fibres. For areas which get particularly heavy use, such as hallways and living rooms VAX recommend washing every 6-8 weeks, whilst in bedrooms where the carpet gets less wear, every 3 months is enough to keep carpets clean, fresh and healthy.

IMPORTANT

"Vaxing" is a term used to describe the washing of carpets using the unique Vax Cleaning system. Not many people realise just how dirty carpets can become, even when regular maintenance is carried out by owners or professional cleaners.

No matter how powerful a vacuum deaner, dry vacuuming of carpets will only remove surface dirt.

When vacuuming for the first time, many owners are astounded at the amount of dirt and grime this washing system releases from their carpets.

Depending on many factors such as age of carpet, neighbourhood conditions (ie. dry, dusty, muddy, sandy) etc, in some instances the release of din particles can

be so extensive that the carpet becomes discoloured. This is. due to the efficiency of the Vax system and is not a malfunction of the unit. With subsequent Vaxing treatments, the discolouration will diminish. For heavily soiled carpets it may take a number of treatments.
