4.0 out of 5 stars Not much different from Hoover Deep Cleansing., September 13, 2005

This review is from: Hoover 40321130 Premium Pet Formula Carpet/Upholstery Detergent, 128-Ounce (Kitchen)

I bought this shampoo about a year ago, and was kind of unsure whether to get this or the Hoover Deep Cleansing Shampoo. I was not sure which would be better for my carpets, as they had a combination of pet problems and the normal problems. So, I got both.

One difference is the fragrance. The Deep Cleansing smells very good, whereas this one is exceptional. Hoover seems to pay special attention to this detail, as these products both smell great. In terms of cleaning, though, it is very difficult to tell the difference. I know this is supposed to be good on pet stains, but it was not any better than the Deep Cleansing in my experience. If it was, it was very slight; I could not discern any difference and I did test them. Also, I could not see any difference on normal areas like stairs.

I wish I could say to use one for pet stains and the other for normal rooms, but the difference is minimal if at all. I just buy the this one because as pleasant as the Deep Cleansing scent is, this fragrance is out of this world it is so pleasant. Both detergents are very pleasant to work with as they have no residue problem (mentioned in more detail in the next paragraph), are not harsh on skin, do not brown the carpet, and of course leave a very pleasing scent. There is not much bad to be said about this product.

One thing that the shampoo says, is that it is OK to leave some residue on the carpet as it helps resist resoiling. I find this to be untrue, as detergent residue tends to attract dirt pretty aggressively and going over the carpet one time with just water after doing it with shampoo seems to leave the carpet cleaner for a long time. Professional carpet cleaners will all tell you to remove any detergent residue, except for encapsulating detergents (which this is not), and some will not even use shampoo for this exact reason. They use a pre-spray and then use hot water. Which brings up another appealing characteristic - this detergent is quite easy to get out. I would also like to mention that with this or any other cleaning solution, or just water, the temperature of the water is very important. The hotter, the better. This can often make quite a difference in the cleaning ability of the solution, so whenever possible use very hot water.

I followed the previous reviewers suggestions and used 1/3 to 1/2 the amount of detergent the manufacturer recommends, and got out year old stains that had defied previous cleaning attempts. I am very pleased with this cleanser and my new hoover steam cleaner.

This container holds enough detergent for 25 gallons of steam cleaning. It removes the stains, especially pet, but the older stains don't disappear permanently. It works very quickly, also. The stains disappear almost immediately.
