Numatic George Vacuum Carpet Cleaner GVE370 Hoover with A26A Kit

The reason most people purchase a George vacuum is for his carpet cleaning abilities, but George really is capable of a lot more than just carpet cleaning. We have covered the main applications he can do below which we think makes this machine a great starter into the cleaning industry ;

• Carpet Cleaning – He is primarily an “injection extraction cleaning machine” or carpet and upholstery cleaner if you prefer, and this is the reason most people buy him (who does not like nice clean carpets at home). The included accessories provide everything (including the cleaning solution) so that carpets can be relieved of their staining and given a good quality deep clean. This will give a similar quality of clean to machines often hired from DIY stores.
• Upholstery Cleaning – The same injection extraction cleaning process is used for cleaning upholstery, and he is supplied with a quality hand tool that will allow you to clean sofas, chairs, stairs, and even curtains. Any fabric that is safe to clean wet can be cleaned with George (and the correct chemical for the job).
• Normal Vacuuming – This is where we get into the list of jobs that most people do not realise this all-in-one carpet cleaner can do. The GVE370 also comes supplied with a full dry kit, allowing for “normal” daily dry vacuum cleaning to be carried out like a normal dry cleaner.
• Wet Vacuuming – Had a spill? With the wet float assembly (included) in place, George can suck up water just as well as he can dry deposits.
• Hard Floor Cleaning – Hard floors can also be cleaned using a similar method to carpet cleaning. This allows you to scrub tiles, and other wet cleanable surfaces and suck the dirty water up, rather than just mopping it around.

The above are the primary roles that the GVE370-2 is capable of carrying out, however, the accessory kit allows him to do a lot more than just that, some other jobs he is great at include;

• Car Valeting – With the smaller hand tool you can shampoo seats and carpets in the car, and ensure that everything is cleaned through. Once done you can use the soft dusting brush and the dry filter to get all dust out of air vents, dashboard crevices, and other pockets and corners.
• Unblocking sinks – The wet mode that is great for clearing up spills can be used to the same effect to suck blockages from sinks!
• Dusting Skirting Boards & Picture rails - The soft dusting brush makes this task quick and easy. 

Very Simple To Use

George has been built around the familiar design of a Henry and is therefore very simplistic yet robust in construction. He comes supplied with a comprehensive instruction manual explaining the various operations that he can carry out. There are some very simple things to remember to ensure that you get the most from your machine though, these include.

• Ensuring the wet float assembly is in place for any applications using water and any cleaning solutions are “low foaming”.
• Ensuring the Dry filter is in place for non-water based tasks and using a bag with George when being used dry.

How do I use a Numatic George vacuum to clean carpet?

Cleaning carpets with George is a very simple process that can be split up into four simple steps:

1. Dry vacuum the area to be cleaned using the standard combination floor tool (included) or alternatively use the optional Airo brush. This clears the area of any hairs and other dry debris allowing the wet cleaning to penetrate deeper and give a better clean.
2. Mix up your chosen cleaning solution (or use the included solution) in the internal “doughnut” shaped tank. TIP: Do NOT use boiling hot water; use lukewarm water as it will give better results.
   1. Optional Step – Pre-spray any staining with a spot and stain remover (included in the optional kit upgrade)
3. Assemble the fishtail wand and get to cleaning the carpet. TIP: Work from the far side of the room back toward the door, this will ensure you are not kneeling in water. Once the internal waste tank is full you will hear a distinctive change of note from the vacuum, this is to let you know to empty it, you will be surprised at the colour of the solution collected (even from clean looking carpets)!
