Can I put this product in a carpet cleaning machine and do the whole house at one time?

I used it on concrete. I would read the instructions on the bottle or call the manufacture to make sure it is safe to use on carpets.

I haven't tried that but it sounds like a good idea. It's been awhile since I've needed the product but as I recall, step one is to soak up and remove as much urine as possible, then use the Urine Off to neutralize and leavings. So, if you're carpet isn't drenched already, that might be a good idea. I do know that if you have an area rug, oriental carpet for example, you want to roll it up and clean the hard floor underneath and then clean the carpet.

This product used as directed is the BEST I have ever tried for removing my dog's urine stains in my carpet, but it needs to soak in, and leave it there for a while, especially if stains are old and set in. I don't think using the product as carper steamer cleaning solution would work unless you apply the UNDILUTED product one day (by hand) and let it work overnight or longer, then use the vacuum cleaner to remove the remaining product and dirt/soil and refresh the carpet. You'd use an awful lot of product that way, though. Good luck.

I've never tried that. Would probably delute it too much to be useful. I would was and air dry first then generously spray on the rug.

I would think so, except you want to leave plenty in the carpet so it "eats" all the bacteria causing the odor. Don't dilute it! By the way, it works great on my carpet. If you've got a bright color or something, you might want to test in a small area.

I use this product in my Hoover floormate so I clean all the floors at the same time so the answer is Yes. I would say It is not as aggressive on the tile as the wood since the PH level is different with the tile cleaner. I have both on hand so this is also not a problem on my end. It also leaves a pleasant smell after cleaning and with the machine it requires no rinse after use. I would not recommend as a simple mop and go.

This product was formulated for use in carpet cleaning machines,if you don't want to purchase a unit you could rent one for around $20 and it would make a great improvement using this cleaning formula that is one of the best on the market.

You may have to go over the carpet a few times since it has been a year....i cleaned fresh blood out of a dirty carpet with this machine but it did take pre treaing and 2 cleaning attempts...this is a good machine for "ongoing" routine cleaning...

Yes! I use it more for quick touch ups between vacuuming but it does work on carpet. I love it, use it all the time.

When you get a black light, you will see that there are accidents all over the place, so I would do the whole carpet. Smells nice.

It can, but it's not really a rug/carpet cleaner. It can be used to "refresh" rugs and carpets, but it won't really get them clean. I hope you find this response helpful.

Just run the regular sweeper. No pretreatment is required. Our house we bought was a model home. The carpets didn't look dirty. But we have six little dogs and when we first moved in the peed ALOT. This took care of all stains and I couldn't believe the dirt that was on the floor. And it smelled wonderful.

I'm sure it could. The only issue would be does your existing vacuum have the suction power to collect all of the powder out of the carpet. Just like with any other carpet powder, for it to work, you have to be able to get it back out of the carpet. If your current vacuum doesn't have adequate suction, some of the powder may be left in the carpet, and dirt along with it.

I don't think you would be satisfied with it over the long haul. Using it on carpet can be rather difficult, and tiring to your arms. Also, the dirt storage capacity is small, so you would probably have to empty it more frequently than you would like. (It does not have a disposable bag.) It works best on a room or two at a time. I don't think it is designed to be a whole house vacuum.

It's not recommended. The Hoover cleaner is great, however, do not use it full strength.

It is not actually a vacuum cleaner. However if the carpet is only lightly covered in dirt and more in need of a rug cleaning then the carpet cleaner can be used to do both jobs at once. It sort of depends on your thought as to how to best go about cleaning your carpets. Experience seems to be the best teacher. After using my Carpet cleaner for several months now I seldom vacuum unless I see no reason to clean the carpets. As times goes by the more times that I use the carpet cleaner over the same carpet over time the carpet gradually becomes even cleaner.

I don't think it would be easy for anyone to do that. It's big. I bought a shop-vac to suck everything up -- it's nice and easy.

I use it alone, but I don't see why you could not combine with another cleaning solution , if your carpet needs deeper cleaning.

Depends on the type of floor your cleaning. If its plush carpet like mind, you might have to roll it back and forth a time or two. I hope this helps.

not on it's own- I have no idea if you could create a formula though. It's bubbles too much for machines. Vinegar would reduce the bubbles- but I wouldn't try it without some sort of recipe. BioKleen and Seventh Generation are good brands for machines. For more info on making your own cleaning recipes- I love the book Clean and Green. It talks about recipes you can make for the washing machine and dish washer- but while all her other formulas are 1. Cheaper than the store bought, 2. Better at cleaning, and 3. Safer for the the environment than store purchased cleaners- she says herself that the recipes for the washing machine and dish washer are at best equal to Seventh Gen or BioKleen. I agree. So- for all purpose, bathroom, floors, and everything else where you would buy a bottle- I prefer the homemades- and use this as one of the ingredients- but for the machines- I just buy one of the environmentally friendly brands, made for machines.

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.
