What to know before buying

The one-hour drying figure is a manufacturer claim specifically for Dry Only mode, not a guaranteed result for every carpet or cleaning condition. The over-99% bacteria claim depends on using VAX Platinum Antibacterial Solution. Follow the solution label and product information for safe use.
