1.0 out of 5 stars No noticable difference from regular "Deep Cleansing" detergent, July 17, 2010

From the other reviews, I expected a lot. I previously used Hoover's "Deep Cleansing" detergent (green bottles).

I didn't see a difference between the results I previously got and now with this "Platinum" and "Professional-Strength" version. I even used this product at double strength on high-traffic areas. The particularly dirty areas needed a second-pass; the spots I missed with a pre-treating spray were still there.

Since the "Deep Cleansing" detergent is available in 128oz bottles for about the same price as this 50oz bottle, I recommend the "Deep Cleansing" detergent.

Note: I used boiling hot water with a "Hoover F5912900 TurboPower 5200 SteamVac Carpet Cleaner with Clean Surge". I followed the tips from the reviews for the SteamVac and was very happy with the deep cleaning results from the SteamVac. I know my one-star review for this detergent is an anomaly from the other reviews, but using the exact same SteamVac and methods, but with different detergent, I saw that this "Professional-Strength" product costs more but did not perform better than the "Deep Cleansing" detergent. I don't think any other reviews point this out (at least not strongly enough -- I mean, twice the amount of cleaning power for the same price is a big deal, at least to me).

Used on carpeting that had not been cleaned for 7 years. Carpeting looks like new and was able to remove any and all spots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it, May 7, 2010

I bought this because I wanted to see if it would work better than the deep cleaning solution that is half the price and while they clean about the same - this powered through stains like they were never there.

I have a Hoover F8100(if your considering a carpet cleaner - this one is great),
and what I think that I am going to do, is buy a bottle that I can pour this in and use it as a pre-treatment for stain and high traffic area, and then use the less costly stuff for normal cleaning...
