How to use the Kärcher Puzzi 8/1: step by step

A clear guide that helps you achieve a near-professional result when cleaning a sofa, carpet, mattress or car interior yourself.

Every machine we rent out comes with a printed guide, but below you'll find the full step-by-step manual, which you can read before booking so you know what to expect.

1

Dry vacuuming

Thoroughly dry-vacuum the surface with a regular vacuum cleaner to remove surface dust and dirt before wet cleaning.

2

Testing the material

Test the material in an inconspicuous spot — make sure the fabric doesn't fade or shrink from the cleaning solution.

3

Diluting the solution

Dilute the cleaning solution correctly, following the instructions on the machine and the product label.

4

Even spraying

Spray the solution evenly, without over-wetting the surface — less is better than too much.

5

Slow extraction

Slowly extract the dirty water, moving the nozzle in even, overlapping passes.

6

Extra passes

Do extra passes with extraction only — no more solution — to pull out as much moisture as possible.

7

Ventilation

Ensure good air circulation — open windows or use a fan to speed up drying.

8

Cleaning the machine after use

Once you're done, rinse the tanks, hose and nozzle — this is a condition for getting your deposit back.

How much cleaning solution to use

The Kärcher Puzzi 8/1 rental includes 100 g of cleaning solution — usually enough for one to two medium-sized surfaces. An extra 100 g portion can be added in the booking form for €4. Always dose the cleaning solution according to the manufacturer's instructions and the amount of water needed, rather than by eye — exact proportions are marked on the machine and in the enclosed user guide.

Tip for first-time users

If you're using the Kärcher Puzzi 8/1 for the first time, start with a smaller, less visible section of the surface to get a feel for the machine's sensitivity and the right amount of pressure. This helps you avoid over-wetting the larger, more visible part of the surface.

Common mistakes

  • Too much cleaning solution in a single pass — extends drying time and increases the risk of mould
  • Skipping dry vacuuming before wet cleaning — causes a streaky result
  • Not enough ventilation during drying
  • Not rinsing the machine after use — can affect your deposit refund
