Owner's manual

Q: Can I clean my area rug right where it is?on my hardwood floor? How wet does it get the rug?

A: Hi Cleanchick! You are able of cleaning your area rug on top of your bare floor. We recommend two dry strokes per wet stroke when cleaning to prevent water saturation. For example, prime the trigger as you push the cleaner forward. Release the trigger when pulling the unit back. Push the cleaner forward once more WITHOUT priming the trigger then back once more. This procedure is what we call, 2 dry strokes per wet stroke. Hope this helps! -Giselle, Hoover Customer Care

Q: can this be used as a regular vaccum for carpets??

A: Hi aaron! No, this unit cannot be used as a regular vacuum and was designed to clean carpets with water and solution. -Michael, Hoover Customer Care

Q: Can I use this as a regular vacuum without water?if not any recommendations in a vacuum that can be use for both deep cleaning and dry cleaning?

A: No you cannot. You must vacuum before using this product. This item is for cleaning carpets only.

Q: Can this cleaner be used without the rotating brushes, I have Berber carpet, I think the brushes may rip it or something???

A: Yes it can be used without the spinning rushes, it has the feature to shut them off. Which is also handy for hard floor cleaning or spills

Q: Can you use this to wash hardwood floors? If yes how would I dry?

A: Hi Floorclean, this unit has SpinScrub® Brush Technology. This includes Patented 360° counter-rotating, removable brushes which will gently wash and scrub sealed wood, vinyl, tile and grout from all angles. The SteamVac uses a trigger to dispense the cleaning solution and once that it done you will use the SteamVac to suck the dirty water back up. We hope this helps! Thanks, Cierra

Q: 1. I see that it includes accessories for upholstery. Can I use it for stairs as well? 2. Can this be used to clean laminate flooring?

A: Yes, you can use this for stairs. No this can not be used for laminated floors.

Q: Does it work good on Berber carpet?

A: Yes on burber. However I do move slower when removing moisture from the carpet.. burber drys pretty quick using the slow method

Q: To clean bare floor, it says in the manual that you have to buy the "bare floor attachment". Where do I find this? Thanks.

A: Hi CleanFreak! The part is always available at the Hoover website! The part number you need is 440007192. Hope this helps! -Michael, Hoover customer care

Great Rug Cleaner
The Hoover Steam Vac is just what I wanted and need. It did a very good job on my loft carpeting and the stairs. You have to switch to the stairs attachment, but it was simple to attach and easy to use and the stairs look as good as the loft. It doesn’t clean as good as a professional cleaner, but I am very pleased with the results. It’s been almost 3 weeks since I cleaned the carpets and they are still looking freshly cleaned. I am also pleased that the carpets dried very quickly, especially since I have two long-haired cats. It does a super job picking up cat hair. It doesn’t take long to assemble and it isn’t too heavy, which is really important for me as I am fairly petite. Although it isn’t recommended for tile floors, I tried it on mine. Unfortunately, the tile didn’t look any better. In summary, given it’s reasonable cost, I think it’s an excellent value.

Great for pet owners!
I have this because my little pup thinks the downstairs carpet is also a bathroom. Had spots everywhere. Eventually broke her of that habit and now the carpet looks like it never happened. Used it every weekend for about 6 weeks now. Easy to use (no handle for carrying up and down stairs though which is the only negative). And considering the price to rent one this works great for smaller areas. I would get a larger tank if you have a large area or have to use it multiple times. Using it once in a while (even for larger areas) would be ok.

Best carpet cleaner for a household.
I bought this specifically to clean my living room carpet. This is the second Hover Steam Cleaner I have owned. And just like the first one I expect to get years of use. And after first use of this new one, I’m not disappointed. I purchased this house over two years ago. The first use of steam cleaner and the carpet looks like the day the realtor showed the house.
