And another. You can probably find more with a google search. The important thing is PLEASE, do not use shampoo meant for an extraction system. CLICK HERE TO GO TO troopersam's LINK |

that extraction type shampoos should not be used in the Kirby shampooer, Kirby now makes a solution for extraction type machines. |

If you don't use dry foaming shampoo in your Kirby, you'll end up leaving a lot of soap residue in the carpet. All that soap residue will will just attract more dirt and grim. On the other hand, dry foam shampoo is scrubbed into the carpet but leaves the carpet fairly dry. When it is completely dry, the carpet is then vacuumed to remove the soap residue and any dirt that it gets out. That won't happen if you use extraction shampoo. |

Set the bottle down and step away from the Kirby. Kirby uses a dry foam, using something else will leave residue, could over saturate the carpet, and could damage the Kirby. |
