QuestionDoes this machine have a separate tank for clean water rinse or does the cleaner go in the same tank?
Asked 7 years ago by Karla.
- Answer There are separate receptacles for clean water and cleaning solution on the top tank. The tank includes a knob on the front that toggles between "Rinse" and "Wash". "Wash" allows the water to mix with the cleaning solution; "Rinse" stops the mixing and allows only water to be sprayed.

QuestionIt works with water - wet cleaning and without water - as simply vacuuming? Right? Or is only wet cleaning?
Asked 7 years ago by Anastasiya.
- Answer It is a carpet shampooer. It works by spraying water and cleaner on the floor and scrubbing it. Then you suck up the water/cleaning/dirt mixture. It does not operate as a standard vacuum cleaner. I own the Hoover carpet cleaner to wet scrub my carpet and a Dyson for vacuuming the carpets.

QuestionHi, I don't mean to sound ignorant but what is the difference between the Steam cleaner & the Deep Cleaner?? The carpets that I need this for require heavy cleaning. Thanks
Asked 7 years ago by SBSR1.
- Answer The Power Scrub Elite warms up the cleaning solution and the rinse water and does not create any steam. While it is effective and has two cleaning options (one for normal cleaning and one for deep cleaning) many areas that I have used it on have required two to three cleanings. I've tried the pet and the professional cleaning fluids and found that the pet solution does a better job with set in dirt and a lot better job with odors. The machine is effective in getting out everyday dirt but has a little tougher time on the ground in stuff. You also need to be careful about walking on the area cleaned while it is still wet. The cleaning solution will do a great job pulling the dirt out of your socks or off your bare feet and you will end up with soiled carpets.

QuestionWe just moved into a house with an unfinished basement with very dirty concrete floors. After thorough sweeping there is still hard to remove dirt. Can this be used for that?
Asked 5 years ago by Roger.
- Answer Hey Roger, Thank you for your question! No, Power Scrub is designed for carpets. I would recommend either the FloorMate Jet or the FloorMate Deluxe hard floor cleaner that will vacuum and wash your floors at the same time. Just be sure to check that your concrete floor is sealed before washing. Thanks, Joseph - The Hoover Team
