How to Hook Up the Kirby Shampooer

The Kirby shampoo device is unlike most carpet shampoo machines in that it is an attachment for the vacuum cleaner that is filled with cleaning foam and uses the suction power of the vacuum cleaner to apply and remove the cleaning foam on the carpet. The carpet surface should be cleaned in a normal fashion by the Kirby vacuum or another standard vacuum prior to carpet shampooing. Hooking up the Kirby shampoo attachment takes a few steps and should only be done by adults due to the use of chemicals and the weight of the vacuum cleaner.
