How long can you clean before the water runs out?

You can get a 10x12 room done without a problem. I tend to go heavy on the water to get deep cleaning vs doing the way suggested. I really like my shampooer, especially the lift away feature. Great for doing cars and stairs or furniture. Highly recommend it. We replaced most of our carpet, but will still use it to clean the vinyl. Hope this helped.

My only word of note would be that it can take 15 to 30 minutes for water to work its way back in after a complete cleaning. During that time the unit will think it is out of water. If it is not that, I hae not run into the situation.

I can't tell you how long the shower will last.But it takes the water about 30 seconds to run out.One two litter bottle is not big enough for a full shower.

I don't have the product literature in front of me, but usually these things can go 3 months or so before the filter is changed out, especially if the water is kept clean. Filter longevity will depend on your water and how much stuff the pets might drag into it.

Hi Julie, the water base is very small on this unit. Maybe about the size of a dixie cup. If you run the mist on full power, the water will be gone in 15-20 minutes. If you run the mist on medium, it will last about 1.5 hours. If you run on low, it will last about 3 hours.

We wash ours before summer and before winter. We use a standard garden hose at a high velocity aimed at the inlet surface of the filter for abouttwo or three minutes and then let dry throughly (in sunlight if possible).

We pour the unused fluid back into the jug, and then put water into the machine and run it with water in it to help rinse everything out, including the wands. When we put fluid into the machine, it is normally in it for 6-7 hours, then clean it as we said. (we actually run it on and off for about 30 minutes total)

Some people on here are saying clean up is a 2 minute rinse and that is simply not true, unless they don't care about cleanliness. If you actually want to scrub your filter to be free of food particles (my definition of clean), it's going to take 5 minutes minimum, and that includes cleaning the auger, the restrictor, and the screen, as well as any food that was pushed out the wrong end up against the base of the motor.

I can't tell you how long it lasts since I am still using it. Be sure and get the pre-filter which will keep most of the dirt off of this filter.

I do not know as I have only used it once at this point in time. Thus, I also cannot yet recommend a degreaser to use after you run out.

The longer the better- i usually leave it for 3 minutes while i am in the shower- but when i have time i use on the weekends and i leave it for 30 minutes under a shower cap then i rinse it out.

Filter. Then backwash for a minute or so after your done vacuuming or until water is clear. Then rinse for about 20 seconds. Then back to filter.

I am not sure, I can only answer based upon my own experience with the machine. After I am done using the steamer, I usually just dump out the rest of the water to prevent mold and mildew from forming. If you leave the water in there a couple of days (which I have managed to do as well) it's not a big deal. Hope this helps.

It depends on how thorough you want to be. You can just run soapy water through the system and be done. I like to soak the nozzle parts, the hand piece, and hoses and scrub everything clean. To me, it's worth it to know it will be ready to go next time I drag it out.

I use mine for at least six months. After I'm done using the mop, I rinse it in the tub and let it sit in a bucket of water mixed with a little bleach for about twenty minutes; that keeps them clean and ready for the next use. They're great!

I am not sure of the maximum time as I only run it about 30 minutes at a time. I have not had to refill the water very often. Sorry I cannot answer your question.

Fill with warm water and a little vinegar. Leave in for 5 minutes. Pour it out and wipe out with damp cloth.
