This all-purpose hand held groomer is for stairs, automobile carpet, fringes on orientals and many other uses. The special "Spatula" on the handle can be used to scoop up excess spillage and residue when spotting. US distributors describe the Handi Groom as the smaller, light-weight version of the Groom Industries Grandi Groom, made for tight spaces and vehicles. Where a hand groomer beats a long-handled one Stairs, vehicle carpet, and the fringes of oriental rugs — anywhere you need control and pressure in a small area, and anywhere a long handle cannot reach the angle. On stairs in particular a hand groomer lets you set the nap on the riser as well as the tread, which is what makes a staircase look finished. Why grooming is the last thing you do Grooming a carpet after cleaning sets the pile in one direction, lifts crushed areas and opens the pile so it dries faster. It also removes wand marks, which is the thing a customer notices most and mentions first. Groom while the carpet is still damp, working in one consistent direction, and finish toward the exit so you are not walking back over it. Using the Handi Groom Clean and extract first. Grooming a wet, dirty carpet only moves soil around. On stairs, groom each tread from the back edge to the nosing, then the riser, working down the flight so you finish at the bottom. On rug fringes, comb gently from the rug body outward. Fringe yarns are often cotton and tear if forced. When spotting, use the spatula end to lift excess residue or spillage before you blot or extract. Rinse the groomer after the job so chemical residue does not dry in the head. Handi Groom or Handi Brush? Both are hand-held tools from the same range. The groom lifts and sets pile; the Handi Brush is the brush version for upholstery and rugs. If you need to cover open floor, the long-handled Grandi Groom V2 Carpet Rake or the household-size Perky Groom will be quicker.
