Can i use this product in Carpet steam cleaner

You could, but if wouldn't recommend it. It doesn't make sense to put it down just to suck it back up. Plus it would cost a fortune. I think better to use it to spot clean pet stains and then use a good shampoo designed to remove pet stains once this stuff has had a chance to dry and do its work.

I used it in my steam cleaner. I just mixed it half and half with the regular carpet cleaner. Definitely made the carpet smell better!

I don't think it is approved for use in a steam cleaner, just because they all usually have their own brand of cleaners they recommend for their own brand. BUT....what I usually do is clean up as much as the mess with a paper towel, then spray with the odor eliminator. Let it sit for about half an hour then run the steam cleaner over it. Works wonders.

I used it to clean a stain off the carpet and it worked. I can't see why it wouldn't work on area rugs. Don't leave the steam wand in one place for too long though.

I'm not sure. Reading the comments below, if you use the recommended shampoo, you can vacuum up any residue left from the soap. It is a "dry" shampoo. If you do purchase, you need to purchase the shampoo online. I looked all over in retail stores and wasn't able to locate any. What I usually do, (and what Martha Stewart recommends- if that makes any difference) is to use this machine to bring up the dirt. Then go back over your carpet with a carpet steamer. This is a shampooer, not a steamer or extractor. It does a great job when I've used a steam cleaner afterwards. I would recommend. I'm not sure.

Yes you can. I do not put cleaner solution in the machine. I use a gallon sprayer to spray the cleaning solution on the carpet and I am able to focus on the traffic and soiled areas and go light on non-dirty areas. I only use water in the machine and it does a great job getting the dirt out and leaves little or no residue.

I love the product but you need to read your steamer directions. I use this in my hoover spin machine and the measurement is different. It is supposed to be mixed with water but the amount will differ and I am not sure if the steamers can use a cleaner in them because they tout "cleaning with no chemicals, just steam"

Yes. You must follow the dilution instructions exactly. Use in addition to your regular carpet cleaning solution. This disinfectant is very strong. Less is more.

That I don't know because I haven't tried it but I can tell you this is the best steam cleaner I have bought so far...I am very satisfied

I wouldnt use in a steam cleaner. It smells like ammonia, and I wouldn't want to risk inhaling the mist. I didn't care for this stuff.

I think not, because this product has to sit on and in the stain until it dries naturally. Also I think the steam would kill the enzyme action before it got started working. But its a great product when used according to the directions on the package. Actually gets rid of the smell, not just mask it.

Probably not. it will mix with the water that steams from the other canister that says WATER. I found that the Hoover Steam Cleaning Solution worked best and I did not dilute it. Even then I had to go over the floor twice to get yellowing areas up.

I don't know why not. We use it in our spin and scrub hot water tile cleaner. The machine came with Multi Floor Plus 2X so it is compatible with that. It is no suds cleaner that works well on our grout. We notice it lightening with each use. Our machine has an auto dispense system which probably uses 1 to 1 and 1/2 tablespoons per gallon.

Yes, you can use this in a carpet machine and it works very well. It won t hurt it. I done this myself and it takes all the odors out. Great product!!!!! Barbara Stiltner

Not really. The reason why is if you use it on carpet, you may ruin your carpet. It was designed for floors, yet it does mention you can use it on carpet...but I would advise against that because it gets the steam too hot.

I did add to my carpet steamer along with the normal cleaning solution has a great smell works good

I don't believe so, this doesn't even work well on carpets. The only reason i still have this is because it sucks up the dirty water that is sprayed on the surface well, helps it dry faster and the amount i payed for it; but the actual cleaning doesn't happen because the brush underneath doesn't rotate to scrub. So to get better use of this, one has to do the cleaning manually and then use the steamer to suck up the excess water.

Sure! It can be dialed to use minimal steam, especially for use on hardwood floors or other moisture sensitive areas. I recommend this machine. I use it regularly on my stone, laminate, carpet stains, bathroom tiles, bathroom fixtures (where hard-water gunk gets built up),and for "ironing". And it's easy enough that my special needs pre-teens are able to use it without supervision.

I don't believe so, I have used carpet cleaners on regular carpeting and on Berber. As I understand it the Steam carpet cleaners apply heated liquid to the carpet to help loosen dirt "However" that doesn't do any good unless you can get that liquid back out. With the Max Extract and other models that apply "direct heat" to the carpet it helps wick the moisture up so that it can be picked up. I typically go over the carpet 3 times for removal only, this gets the carpet almost totally dry in an hour or so. I also don't use detergent in my cleaning liquid as detergent's job is to attract dirt - once you have your carpets cleaned if there is any residue in the carpet it will attract more dirt making your carpets look dirty faster. I use straight powder Oxy and mix it in the detergent dispenser, this also helps keep your machine from clogging up like a sticky detergent might. The Max Extract model is super easy to clean also - miles better than my old Bissell was. Hope this helps
