Don't laugh! Could I use this on some kind of gentle to do very very dirty interior apartment raw hardwood floors and I guess a shop vac?

Don't even think about it! I live in an area (southeast Louisiana) where flooding is an issue and have seen what can happen when people get water in their house. There's too much risk of causing mold if you use this indoors. Have you tried using Murphy's Oil Soap? I find that it works very well, even removing rust from metal surfaces (without a lot of scrubbing). It is safe to use on wood, but again, be careful not to use too much.

I would not. Because of the amount of water that is applied in using it, it would make a heck of a mess.

I suppose in theory it would work. I would worry about water getting into the cracks in the floor and developing mold and if you get any water into the walls the insulation will wick in up into the walls and then you could get mold there. I would probably do a lot of research before I tried this but I understand your wanting to use something powerful to clean the floor and this would do that

It is not designed for that use. It can be a spot cleaner for carpets to remove grease, tar and oil. And to clean bathrooms and floors. I would think to use it in a washing machine would be akin to using something like Pinesol on one's clothes. In other words, overkill.

Possibly. But not as well as one would think. Try scrub brush and hot soapy water and shop vac. Or pay 40$ and have Stanley stemmer do it

First of all, I want to make sure you realize this isn't a vacuum sweeper? That aside, it really seems light to me for a carpet shampoo-er. I think it would work out fine for you.

A smaller shop vac would probably work fine, if you reduced the end of the hose for the vac to match the outlet for the dust bag. I do not think a large powerful vac would work as well as it would not draw enough air... but a smaller 5 gallon size should. Have not done this myself... I just take it outside and work there with a mask.

i would be very careful with the sander. it can eat your hand. for safety i would not put shop vac on it.. imo

yes. it works like a carpet sweeper, in my opinion. go back and forth. we have hardwood and area rugs and are very happy with it.

Hi Samantha, Unfortunately no is only deep cleaner and is not designed for just vacuuming. Sorry!

This is not the greatest vacuum. I would rethink it! It works well on a bare floor, but not that great on carpet. You just plug it in and it last only minutes.

For a portable vacuum YES. I use it from the hardwood floors to the inside of my kayak. Also plan to use it detailing my car interior.I personally LOVE the trigger that acts as the on/off. Suction on when you want it. I've even use this to sneak up on pesky mosquitoes and spiders.

I really think this should be called a carpet sweeper. I don't think its worth the effort using it on hard floors and just use it on my rugs. I use an old fashioned broom on the rest.

I use my large Shop-Vac, a long piece of a wire clothes hanger, and my air compressor to clean the inside of this Hoover vacuum cleaner. It is a poor design for a vacuum cleaner, and a problem that should have never occurred, or have to be taken care of by a customer.

Monica, I have no idea. As it doesn't have a beater brush, and all of the motor, etc., is in the handle, I would guess not. It's made to be a vac for hard floors only, and works great. You could go to their web site, put in the model, and work your way through to the parts list, to see for sure.

Clean softer stuff the old fashioned way. This machine is too strong for that sort of stuff...

This Hoover is only good for picking up dirt. It does not have a motorized brush scrubbing. So answer to your question is YES if just want to skim the dirt off the carpet or hardwood floor.

I don't know...my doctor told me to use it for carpets...couches...etc....keeps the dander down....I don't think in the washer would work...

Not really. More of a shop vac. I think it would be inconvenient to move around in a house.
