Hoover Deep Cleansing Carpet/Upholstery Detergent, 128-Ounce

Comment: I used this with my new Hoover vac, which came with a small bottle of this. The small bottle was enough to last one small bedroom and a hallway, so it was good that I purchased this at the same time.

It pours well from this large bottle into the container on the vac, no funnel needed, so the fact that I could pour easily with this bottle was an unexpected bonus.

I used this with the new vac on a carpet in a house I built 5 years ago that has only been vacuumed, never cleaned. With a now 6 year old son in the house, and the things he drops off the dinner table hitting my cream colored carpet, things were getting pretty dingy. So I thought I'd give a self clean a shot.

I've had mediocre experiences with carpet shampoo in the past, slightly tacky floors in spots no matter how well it was rinsed after the detergent was applied, noticeable cleaning supply smell, or just not very effective solutions that didn't do much more than water alone could have.

This one had none of those issues.

I knew it wouldn't remove some stains, and I do have one spot where, while it's better and less visible, it still IS there. But that really is the only spot it couldn't remove. The rest of the stains that weren't that bad aren't visible anymore. My traffic areas look much better, and the rooms themselves are brighter now, carpet whiter and cleaner than its been in years.

There's no chemical smell, it's more like a very subtle air freshener was used in the room, barely there, just enough to make it a bit nicer smell.

No tackiness at all, even when it was damp, was not at all sticky, even the feet when slightly damp from walking on it didn't get sticky at all while they were drying. Carpet fibers didn't adhere to each other at all either, and while I habitually vacuum after things dry just to get the fibers all looking "normal" again, I didn't have to do that after using this.

Very pleased with the product and its results, will always keep in stock now for when I need to clean the carpet.

Comment: When the Hoover shampoo was not available, we tried another brand (They're all the same, right?). It did not clean as well as Hoover's soap. Considering the reasonable price of the machine and how long the shampoo lasts, this is a very good combination for keeping rugs and carpets clean. The Hoover machine and shampoo do a very good job of making old carepets look new again.

Comment: Product cleaned my carpets & furniture ok. I can't compare it to another one since it's the only one i have ever used. I can't wait to see how much dirt comes out the next time I use it.

Comment: Seems to do a very good job when compared to some others I have tried, but them it could just be my preference. I purchased this item along with a Hoover steam vacuum. Combined together they do an excellent job.

Comment: Ordered from Grady's. Slow delivery poor customer service. Carpet cleaner works the same as most others I've used.
