“Can you use your own liquid carpet detergent in this machine?”

1-10 of 11 Answers

• Although Hoover of course recommend their own detergent, we are using a 50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water, with a few drops of essential oil (tea tree oil) in it to improve the fragrance. This has worked well for us and is very inexpensive. I haven't noticed any problems with the machine.

• Yes, you will see other brands that work for hoover or "all carpet cleaners". I haven't had any issues yet.

• I used my own liquid carpet cleaner because it was better then the hoover cleaner i brought from the store. Just make sure you follow directions when putting it in the machine

• You can use it with just about any carpet shampoo on the market, not only Hoover brand. If you make your own, I don't know but if you have successfully used it with a different machine I'd be willing to bet, yes.

• You can use any brand in this machine. I have used bissle, hoover, even a Walmart pet one. They all work great.

• I've use a brand of cleanser other than what came with the machine without problem. Make sure to dilute according to cleanser instructions.
