After the wash cycle, switch the knob on the clean water reservoir to the "rinse" cycle. Pull the trigger and perform one or two passes forward and backward over the same area. This dispenses clean water without cleaning solution, helping to rinse the carpet. Next, release the trigger and slowly move the machine over the carpet to extract as much liquid as possible. It is crucial to go very slowly during the extraction passes to maximize liquid removal. The carpet should feel damp, not soaking wet, once finished. After cleaning, allow the carpet to dry completely, possibly using a box fan to speed up the process. Avoid stepping on the wet carpet to prevent re-soiling with dirt from feet or shoes.
