Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hoover 40321130 Premium Pet Formula Carpet/Upholstery Detergent, 128-Ounce
Customer Review: Not much different from Hoover Deep Cleansing.
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Nice product, but kinda pricey
Summary: 4 Stars
This solution cleans fairly well, and leaves a nice scent behind, you will be amazed how much dirt comes up. You will want to reclean again in a few days, if your dirty tank was really dirty, means you still have lots of dirt still on your carpet. however, you could use a clear hot water tanks, with no added product to rinse over the carpet again, or add half of the original product of the first cleaning to go over the areas again.
Wish these products were so expensive.
And this hoover solution is hard to find at local stores.
Customer Review: Not bad!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had some pet stains that were at least a year old in my carpet and while it didn't magically pull them completely out it did make a nice dent in the color! Plus it removed the smell of the more resent stains. I'll go back over the old stains a couple more times like it recommends with the vacuum. And I'm betting my carpets will look almost new and smell awesome too! It is a much more pleasant smell than the shout and other stain fighting products I've used.Customer Review: It works!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have dogs and cats and have had to deal with their accidents. This stuff does an excellent job and doesn't leave a residue or fragrance (the pet odor doesn't disappear until the carpet is completely dry) I was pleasantly surprised as I have tried everything on the market to remove pet odors and this is one of the best. (I use less than the recommended amount though-about half.)Customer Review: Does the job.
Summary: 4 Stars
5 kids and 5 cats- what do you expect when you have light carpeting? Stains. Felt this was a bit costly, but was looking for something with a strong pleasant smell. That it was the first day or 2. Nothing special. Got the carpets fairly clean but not brighter like some products do. The seller was amazing with shipping-super fast and packed great-very impressed.
