Q: Can the Hoover Floor Mate be used for carpet shampooing? If yes, what cleaner do you recommend?

A: Well, I'm going to try it on carpet myself...But remember to vacuum first, so not too much dirt clogs the hoses and filters...As long as it's "designed" to extract and pick up water, and remember to vacuum first. I don't see a problem unless you lay too much water down to clean, then the machine can't extract enough water out for the carpets to dry quicker... We're not trying to create a breeding ground for mold under carpets! I've noticed that PROFESSIONAL CARPET CLEANER Do Not lay down a lot water to clean...it's more of the type of quality solution for your type of carpet and man power of the brushes or steam...I don't think it would be a problem when the machine is made to pick up water! Test an area to find out! WARNING! DO NOT use a machine that is not designed to pick up water, you be electrocuted!

Q: Does this work on laminate flooring?

A: Hi M and Ma, the FloorMate Deluxe works beautifully on multiple hard floor types. This includes laminate. Hope this helps. -Ian Hoover Customer Care

Q: What do you use to clean the side tanks and brushes after use? Tank said no solvent

A: I totally take everything off of the cleaning system. Just rinse with water, and let all the parts completely dry before I put it back together. I use the recommended floor cleaning solution and have not had any problems. With my old (and I mean old) Hoover you could not take it apart like this one, and there would be a moldy smell to it. Not with the new ones..

Q: How Large are the water and extraction tanks?

A: Hoover - FloorMate Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner comes with 1.5 quart capacity clean and dirty water tank.

Q: Can you use other branded floor cleaner solution with this or do you need to use Hoover cleaner?

A: Yes you can use any brand

Q: Can this be used on vinyl floors? Manufacturers directions say not to use anything with brushes.

A: I have whole house vinyl flooring. I have used this same type scrubber for years. It may remove some of the shine. I feel normal wear and tear will do that as well especially in heavy traffic areas. I just love the really clean floors. Push mops and squeegee just don't compare

Q: The machine will not put the cleaning solution out on the floor. We've checked and the tanks are inserted properly.

A: Are you using Hoover's cleaning solution with the proper dilution? It's always a good idea to stick with the recommended products, especially if the warranty is still in effect. If you are, I would recommend trying to run a cycle using only the hottest water you can get from the faucet without solution to see if that will unclog the ports. Failing that, contact Hoover support.

Q: Can you use this for waxing?

A: No you cannot use this for waxing.

She Really Uses It!
My wife and I were looking for an old-style buffer to clean and polish our wood floors. We found this Hoover Floormate Hard Floor cleaner and realized that it can be used on hardwood, ceramic, tile and brick-paver floors. When we bought it, at first it sat unused for a couple of weeks until my wife got up enough nerve to tackle the "difficult" job of cleaning the floors. Then, after reading the directions, mixing the cleaning solution (sample bottle included) with water, and getting started, it was off to the races. Since we purchased it, my wife has used it several times with great results. Pros: Easy, no bending over and scrubbing, the tank and brushes remove and clean easily, and the cleaner does a great job of picking up the used water/cleaner mix leaving the floors dry and streak-free. We've used it on both wood floors and sealed brick pavers with great results. Cons: none to speak of. The solution must be mixed and tank filled and emptied, but that's a heck of a lot easier than getting on your knees and scrubbing. Since this machine is so easy to use, it's easier to clean our wood floors more often, so they don't get that greasy grimey buildup, and look better all the time. Expect that the first time you use the machine, you may have to clean your floors a couple of times to realize the full effect of the way it cleans. Also, we haven't attempted to use anything else other than Hoover's recommended cleaning solution, and I'd guess from seeing how it performs that it's formulated correctly and one wouldn't want to uses anything else.

Great Product
My health restricts me from some heavy household cleaning projects, scrubbing the kitchen floor being one of them. I find this scrubber easy to handle and it does a good job on the floor once you get the hang of how to move the cleaner. A slower motion works better than trying to be too speedy. I do wish the cord was just a bit longer, but I am able to work with this length. Wishing I had purchased sooner!

Great for caked-on messes
I love this product. It was cheap and works great! It even cleaned up paint we spilled on our hardwood floor without ruining the brushes. It got out dirt from the spaces in our hard floor that I never knew wasn't part of the grout color. Lightweight, easy to use, and easy to store. The only thing is that if you don't clean it after each use, and I mean the entire bottom, not just the brushes and tank, then it will smell like whatever you cleaned before.
