To use a Hoover rug cleaner you should put hot water into the holding tank with a small amount of carpet shampoo. Run the machine back and forth over carpet until all areas are clean. Empty the reserve tank when all of the water and shampoo have been used and repeat the process until the carpets are all cleaned.
A rug pad is not mandatory. However, if placing a large rug on wood or tile floors, the pad will protect the floor underneath from spills and dirt being ground in. It will also protect the underside of the rug from wearing out. Additionally, it will cushion the rug, and keep it in place. If you are placing a large rug on a carpet, no rug pad is necessary.
The main use of a rug pad is to stop your rug from sliding on the floor. It not only keeps your rug in place, it also helps to protect your floors and keeps you safe from tripping or falling over the rug.
If the rug is wool, and hand knotted, there is no way you want to use an in home steam cleaner to clean it. There's just too high of a possibility for damaging the rug, and it's really not sufficient for thorough cleansing. Do it right, take the rug to a professional. The only reason you would want to steam a rug in home is if you're taking out hard creases or furniture indentations.
