I have Berber carpet and boy was I impressed!

on December 27, 2008

Posted by: sacgary

from Sacramento, CA

Anyone that as ever tried to clean Berber carpet KNOWS how hard it is to get really clean even under the best of circumstances.

I have lived in this 1 Bedroom duplex for almost 4 years. I have a dog and 3 cats. In the years I have been here I have never cleaned the carpet. It was SO NASTY I was embarrassed when people came over.

I had been considering having it professionally cleaned, but even though it was 1 bedroom, a hallway and a living room, it would still have cost around $150. When I saw the sale price on this cleaner at Best Buy I figured I would try it and if it didn't work, then I could return it. :-)

It comes with 16oz of Hoover cleaner and they recommend 3 oz to the tank if you are using a pre treat for stains and 6oz if not pre-treating. I didn't have any pre-treat so I used 6oz per tank.

The hallway and the living room were first and were a total of 200sq ft. The instructions say to make 2 passes each way spraying and then 2 more each way drying. Since the hallway carpet was SO dirty I did it twice. In the living room I made 3 passes each way. I used the entire 16oz cleaning solution but the carpet was CLEAN!

Take the time after you rinse the carpet to make an additional drying pass and the carpet will dry incredibly fast. The hallway was almost dry by the time I finished the living room!

Hoover recommends using their cleaner because of the low foaming properties, but the following day I couldn't find any Hoover brand so I went to a big box home improvement store and bought the Zep for rental and home extractors low foaming solution and it cleaned the bedroom just as nice as the rest of the house.

VERY VERY nice cleaner. I really wish I had taken "before" and "after" pictures so you could be as amazed as I was at the results.

What's great about it: It cleans Berber carpeting well! Easy to assemble. Carpet drys FAST!

What's not so great: The recovery tank holds a little less than the resevoir.

I would recommend this to a friend!
