Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover Deep Cleansing Carpet/Upholstery Detergent, 128-Ounce
Customer Review: Worked great
Summary: 5 Stars
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.

This detergent works very well. It has a pleasant oder and has a very low "suds effect", which allows the rug machine to work as designed without premature filling of the recovery tank. This is the detergent designed exclusively for the Hoover SteamVac which is by far the best rug cleaner available on the market. So stick with the Hoover name. I bought this for $19.95 and free shipping from Amazon for a 128oz size bottle which will give me around 26 refils. To put it another way, that's 26 gallons of carpet cleaning solution. That will clean a lot of carpets with just one bottle! ALso, I saw it at Walmart for $5. less-not a bad deal, but you will probably use that much in gas and time spent getting it there.Customer Review: Works Very Well

I purchased this detergent to go along with my Hoover Steamvac All Terrain. The detergent has a pleasant smell, and the carpet was spotless once I was done steamcleaning. I followed the manufacturer's instructions and also pretreated spots with Hoover's spray spot and stain remover.
My only complaint about this detergent is that it is so pricey, not just through Amazon (which is usually the cheapest), but in general. I am going to be using a LOT of this stuff. Thanks to a tip that someone else wrote in their review, I'll be watching for the "buy 2, get one free" promotion from Amazon in the future.
Customer Review: Well worth 20 bucks

We bought this to use in our Bissell Spotbot and we were not disappointed.
If you are looking for this to remove bird droppings from medium-grade or low-grade carpet, you'll need to clean the same spot 3 different times. Since it wasn't designed to do this job, we can't really hold anything against it for this. Get some Poop Off and mix it into your solution - then it works great.
Doesn't get 5* because the two 128-ounce packs we have bought (one off Amazon and one from a store) both have leaky lids which means you invariable get some on your hands when you pull it out from under the sink. Yuk.
Customer Review: Good Size!
Summary: 5 Stars
I do my champagne-colored carpets frequently. Since I live in the country, a variety of interesting things are tracked in. Although the carpets look great after vacuuming, I am always surprised at how much underlying dirt this product pulls out.
Of all the detergents by Hoover this seems to do the best job and quickly.
Of course, I am delighted with the huge bottle. Less ordering or last
minute trips to stores that stock it is always welcome.
This is the most pleasant scent of all the Hoover detergents,
but that is an individual opinion.
