Will this be safe for non Hoover rug shampoors?

This doesn't really answer your question since I have a Hoover rug shampooer, but I have used this shampoo and other brands of shampoos in my Hoover machine. I have never seen any difference with using this shampoo in my Hoover machine and other shampoos in my Hoover machine.

No, you can't use this in a Rug Doctor. You can use our X-Mite Moist Powder Carpet Cleaner 1lb. product without having to use water,shampoo or steam. I have put the link below for you, it will take you right to our product. http://www.amazon.com/X-MITE-Moist-Powder-Carpet-Cleaner/dp/B00JZXZJKY/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1404834193&sr=1-2&keywords=xmite+carpet+treatment

I think in order to keep the warranty valid you are supposed to use their hoover carpet shampoo. But FYI I use mine in my rentals and my tv room that does house my dogs and I use bleach and hot hot water to clean the carpets. They come out great. I always color test a new carpet first in a discreet location to make sure it is color fast and once it dries and I see that there is no fading I clean it.

I don't see why not and because it is motorized it should provide more power; especially, with the suction. In addition, because of the spray nozzle feature; this would be ideal so not to over soak those priceless rugs, since you control how mush distribution. For best results, always do a 'spot check' first in a corner or darkest part of the rug.

I use mine with the Bissell Green Machine for general cleaning. I used it on my living room carpet and my car and it was fine. I believe as long as you are using a carpet shampooer that can handle liquid you should be fine.

My family room has a berber carpet (that's getting pretty filthy) and the lightness of this model concerns me re: cleaning that type of rug. To get my handvac to suck up the dirty water I really lean on it to increase its ability to suction. I suspect that as far as berber carpet goes, its best to get a heavier (industrial) machine, as I don't think you can push down on an upright to get it to suction better. I'll check this at the Hoover retail store near me and post a reply later.

It really depends on how thick of a carpet it is. I have one large area rug that is very thick and it won't move very well. My other is a short nap and it does a great job. Just remember you MUST empty the refuse basket and clean the brushes often if you have a lot of hair. And like I have said before this does not preclude you from using your other vac now and again. Mine does a great job picking up hair, dirt and dust.

No just, follow the instructions. Works great in my Hoover carpet cleaning my machine! Be sure you understand the 2X setting.

I usually vacuum it with my vacuum's furniture attachment have not tried to do a deep cleaning though but I think a shampooer with a furniture attachment would work just fine.

Hi Tyler, if you able to use a normal vacuum with a spinning brush on your carpets this should be ok to use! You may want to pretest it first.

I used it for the whole carpet. I really like the smell of the regular Hoover Platinum shampoo better, however.

No, but don't let that worry you. This is by far the best vac. I've had. I have wooden floors and rugs, and a very hariry dog. Picks everything up. The lady that cleans for me, loves this vac.

Yes. It is somewhat of a myth that you need special "HE" detergent or cleaners for an HE machine. Typically, just use a smaller amount of any detergent or cleaner. It does not cause suds, so should be no problem using this.

not sure any will but I did notice my dogs don't go on carpet for a while where I used it, in my steam cleaner

do not know - only used in the washer. Suggest you use baking soda sprinkled on carpet. Have a dog and it helps us.

I believe it specifies a "Hoover" carpet cleaning solution but any carpet cleaning solution would work, even a DIY one (you can google it)

May be! I have not tried it on carpet. You can turn off the brush, but the suction is too strong and is not adjustable.
