Your video series on the Hoover Power Scrub Elite Pet Plus Carpet Cleaner was fantastic! Watched them all before using my new machine. Thanks for making everything so simple and straight forward - nicely done!!
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback and I am glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for this added video! I just did my stairs & they came out great! I did the upstairs hallway & it looks good. May do it again, it gets a lot of traffic! One thing I don't like is the spin brushes. After only using my machine twice they look like they are falling apart! I still had my old one of 10yrs & its brushes looked brand new & I put that machine through hell! They need to make them better! I also noticed that the electrical cord is much shorter by at least 5'! Wasn't happy with that. But thank you so very much for your professional-looking videos! They have been a great help!
Thanks for the feedback. Not sure why the brushes would look so bad after 2 uses. Ours did not have that issue and we have been using it for 4 years. You may want to contact Hoover on that. Maybe it is defective. Glad that you enjoyed my videos. Hopefully more to come soon.
Thanks for the video. The second time when you used the hand held wand, you could also be pulling up color from the dark carpet, which is why the water still looks dark.
It could be. I did notice carpet fibers in the dirty water but it did seem to be mostly dirt. Carpets really hold a lot of stuff, like a sponge. This is why we have either tile or wood laminate throughout our home.
If you have an exceptionally soiled carpet like this one. Put some carpet solution in a pump sprayer and spray the whole area. That will make your cleaning easier.
Make sure that red door on the right bottom front is always down or it won't be sucking the water up.
Thanks for your time you put in this video very helpful info, it helped me out a lot.
Thank you for the feedback!
Thanks for your review it's very helpful
Excellent! Thank you
Thank you for the review. I have same cleaner. However, I wanted to share something I discovered, to my surprise. I have several area rugs, just like yours, in my Office and Clubhouse. The 3 rugs are all different colors with basic designs. One more Black, another Brown (like yours) and my Huge one is Dark Dark reddish burgundy wine...etc. With each cleaning, I noticed my returned water was basically the Main color of carpets. I didn't really noticed this until I dumped water out, between the 3. First one was the dominate black one. At first, I thought, geeze, this carpet is super dirty with the blackish water. Like you I cleaned wash and then 2 rinse and drying. Then I started over with the brown carpet. Return water was also dark brown. (I was thinking, why did I wait so long to clean these?). Both Black and Brown carpets turned out great and the multi-colored floral designs (whatever they are called) looking more vivid. Then I started on the Dark reddish one. This is when I noticed the return water being reddish. No matter how often I went over the rugs, the dye always lifted a little bit. No damage appearance to rug's design. However, now I know, I can't depend on the return's water appearance to determine if carpet is clean. Esp. with your brownish carpet. LOL With all that said, I love my Hoover! Especially with the bigger tank! Sincerely, Brigitte in Tulsa Oklahoma
Thank you for sharing. Yes, after a few uses I noticed that as well, especially in the brushes. It seems to pull alot of the rug fibers and this will make the water appear dirty. It is unfortunate that it is pulling fibers, as this will wear it down over time. The rugs need cleaning so I suppose there is no way around this.
Great job on the video and now you have clean carpets and I'm getting ready to use my new machine. Thank you for your time and effort. I did subscribe.
There’s a short video from Hoover where they say to pull the trigger when pushing forward and release it when pulling back (but I do it both ways too :) Thanks for the vid.
Thank you for the tip. Hmm. I will have to try that. It may cut my time in half.
Your vid was very helpful, I'm just using mine and your vid gave me great tips....Thanks much
That is great! Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for a great review makes my decision to get one easier. 🙂
Terrific! Happy to help!
You should rinse fırst… then put wash mode..
Hmm, I wonder if I can use this booger to clean the carpet in my truck....
Yes I use it to clean cloth seats and floors of my car with the hand tool. I recommend vacuuming first.
I realize this is an old video, I just bought one of these, but did you consider perhaps your carpet is running, as in the dye is running every time you get it wet, your carpet is dyed black in some places, so it may just be continuing to run as they call it, frustrating when that happens, takes you a while to figure out the dye may just be running.
Yes. Thank you for mentioning this. After a few uses I realized that there were carpet fibers in the brushes and in the tank so this would cause the water to look dirtier.
@@radiantreview1316 Oh boy, this message was from 3 months ago, lol, nice to hear from you, lol. But actually I didn't mean carpet fibers, I meant like running. For example, I have a red rug that when I get it wet, the water turns completely red, looks like Kool-Aid or something. So carpets can be made with colors that "run" i.e. they actually leak the dye they were dyed with and make the water the color they are. This red rug I have I washed in in the bathtub once and through the entire washing and the entire rinsing, the water was blood red the whole time. So, it's not the fuzz or the fibers, it's the dye coming out of the carpet is what I was talking about. I don't know if your carpet leaks it's dye when gotten wet, but if so, it would be hard to tell in your case, as your carpet was black, right?, dirty water as opposed to black dye, would look the same, but yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks for writing back, have a great day.
@@denakerr1379 lol yes time flies when you’re having fun cleaning carpets. 😂 I do understand what you mean by running. What I meant to say is that I didn’t see that as obviously as I noticed the fibers, although it is a possibility. There was a lot of grit/dirt in the water so it definitely is doing the job.
I suppose it would depend on the carpet and how it is made. I could see where the dye could be sucked out of it. That stinks because overtime it sounds like it could fade.
Did you use any cleaning solution or just water? Maybe do a test of just water to see if the cleaning solution aide the color to be lifted.
Wouldn't it better if I dry the whole room together after pulling the trigger the whole time instead of wash two patches and dry it then wash another 2 patches and dry? When do I rinse it?
That is a good question. It may come down to a matter of preference or necessity. Maybe for deeper stains, you may want it to soak before you go back over and dry it. I would recommend checking the manual and the cleaning solution bottle. Leaving the solution on too long may cause discoloration. I usually wash then dry multiple passes until I see less dirt coming up, then I go back over to rinse and dry last.
@@radiantreview1316 By soak it you mean a pre-treament spray? What does moving forward with trigger pressed do? dirty water only goes into the tank when I move backward with triggered pressed. does moving forward means just dispensing solution and water and scrubbing it?
Tom Tan you mentioned washing the whole rug then going back to dry. This would leave the rug to “soak” in the cleaner and water. Leaving the cleaner in the rug for too long may cause discoloration. I haven’t used the Hoover pushing forward with the trigger pressed. Pressing the trigger will disperse cleaner or water depending on what you have it set to. I believe it was designed to disperse cleaner then suck it up immediately by pulling the Hoover backwards. Another viewer mentioned that a Hoover video suggested pulling the trigger while going forward then releasing it while pulling back. Since the suction is in the front of the machine, it is the backwards motion the would be most effective in sucking the water and dirt.
@@radiantreview1316 the manual told me to press it both forward and backward but since backward is always sucks up water then it's a waste to press it backward right? I used the whole 10oz bottle for just one small bedroom and a small 3x4ft area.
@@TheCupfulBoy I agree. I think it would be a waste to do it in both directions.
How long for rug to dry?
Depends on how much you soak it and how many passes to pull the water out. I’ve never timed it but generally speaking it seems to take a few hours.
Why tf you talk so much tho
Thanks for watching and for the tip. It's an Italian thing. LOL. I'll keep it in mind for the next video.
