My kleenrite spotter I ran Hydrox through it and forgot to clean with fresh water. Before I start pulling things apart trying to find the clog I was hoping for a quick fix. suggestions?

To find fault is easy. To do better may be difficult.

Disconnect your upholstery tool. Fill machine with hot water.
Turn on the pump only and with a screwdriver push in on your
hose connection and see if water comes out. If you have water
coming out of your machine then your upholstery tool is clogged.
Can't make it any simpler than that.

there was flow. couldn't stick a hanger through the solution feed hose on the wand. reconnected and no flow. Thanks charles

If you have water flow from the machine then get a
pin and poke it thru the openings in the water jets.
Even better take the jets off and run under hot water.
Make sure all of your quick disconnects work properly.
Any encap products will plug up sprayers & extractors.

Don't run any chemicals thru your machine.

Charles nailed it. You've determined that you have flow to the upholstery tool, so the machine isn't clogged - so it's your jet on the upholstery tool. Clean out the jet, and you should be good to go.

What we don when a jet gets clogged down here in the south is we take the jet off and go outside and get a pine needle. They are oblong not round, the same shape as the jet opening, and push the pine needle through to unclog the jet. The problem with using something metal to shove through the hole is that you can actually make the hole round and then the jet will not work right. Then while you have the jet off the tool make sure to hook up the tool to the machine and run some clean water through it so that you can flush out any other potential clogs before reassembly.

This works great for us because I never have to pay for a clean out tool since they are so plentiful down here.
