Lang Hoover Grout Cleaner made my 5 year old travertine grout lines look like new--and trust me I have tried everything. I have natural stone so some uneven areas and I used the product with a grout brush not the Hoover Floor Mate machine which mises 90% of the grout, but does clean rest of floor very well. Grout is tricky. I recommend that you go to Home Depot/Lowes, get the grout brush, and sit on the floor and clean grout lines with this great product like a Marine. Great looking floors now. Highly recommned this product. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Works, but not with the Spin Scrub - get out the grout brush instead By Comdet This works very well in getting grout clean, but I have not had much luck using it with the Hoover Spinscrub. It cleans the floor just as well as the regular hard floor solution, but does not do much on the grout even when I used the grout brush.But, it works very well when you go at it the old fashioned way with some elbow grease and a grout brush. I've used it on both floor and counter tile grout (both gray) and it really does a good job. I dilute it at about a 5-to-1 ratio (5 parts water, one part cleaner) and use a spray bottle to apply it.For really stubborn stains, let it set a bit on the grout then hit it with a steam cleaner. Does a great job and has a decent fresh scent. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Snake Oil By LipSmacker I used this with a grout brush, diluted and full strength. Improvements were marginal at best. I get much better results with baking soda and water with less scrubbing. See all 22 customer reviews...
Carpet Express C4 Remanufactured Carpet Steam Cleaner Like Rug Doctor
his Rug Doctor Style Carpet Cleaner is a 'steam' carpet extractor for cleaning carpet, upholstery, vehicle, RV & boat interiors, plus more. This machine does NOT have a heater. It uses HOT tap water. This machine is made in the USA by Carpet Express® whose principal owner co-founded the Rug Doctor® in 1973. The 33 years of industry experience is evident in the design, quality & dependability that you will notice with this machine. Our Experience with the Carpet Express C4 Low Moisture Machine! When we put this machine out in our rental stores, our customers preferred this low moisture machine over the other brands of carpet cleaners we offered. Some of our stores even requested that we pick the others up! User Serviceable Components The user serviceable components (Pump, Vacuum, Brush Motor), should you need to repair anything after the warranty, are easily accessible from your local vacuum supply store. If not, we are always willing to provide you with reasonably priced replacement items. Should you take a look "under the hood", the first thing you will notice is all the major components are in one convenient location. This puts the vacuum and solution pump, very close to the working area. Powerful Components in better location than the other guys... The main difference in this Carpet Express C4 a Rug Doctor Style Machine, is the vacuum motor location. It is in the bottom of the unit, close to the suction pick-up opening in the front. In some others, it is in the top, alot further from the suction opening, reducing the efficency of the vacuum motor. Therefore, more solution is recovered resulting in a drier fabric with less residue left in the carpet (which encourages faster resoiling). Low Moisture System just works better! Because the low moisture system dispenses less solution to begin with & the vacuum extracts more of that solution ----- you benefit from a carpet that dries sooner & contains less detergent residue, so it stays cleaner, longer.

Most helpful customer reviews 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Sucks up liquid very good. By S. C. Dawson I rented one from Home Depot. I had recently rented the Rug Doctor machine and am not sure which one cleans better. The Carpet Express I am quite sure has better suction. After going over an area 3 times it didn't feel any wetter than after the first time. Rug Doctor strongly recommends not going over an area more than twice. I did and the carpet got too wet.CE seems easier to handle that the RD. Pushing it around was less a problem than the RD. It has a rotary brush an opposed to the shaking or vibrating brush on RD. Not sure which brush style cleans better though. Carpet Express seems to remove dirt as well as the Rug Doctor but sucks up more moisture than RD leaving carpets drier. One negative thing, the CE instructions direct you to use the container that collects dirty water to also mix clean water and carpet cleaning detergent. That's like mopping the bathroom floor with a cleaning solution that's in the toilet stool. Not a good idea. Just use a clean bucket.The ideal may be to clean with Rug Doctor and suck up left over moisture with a Carpet Express. Not sure but I am leaning toward the CE as being better than the RD.I have used pro carpet cleaners and don't think they do a better job than renting a RD or CE. If you have the time and don't mind breaking a sweat by all means do it yourself.(Following reviews from another website)Carpet ExpressPros:* Extracted nearly all of the water we put into the carpet swatches.* Best suited for carpets that are exposed to moderate traffic.Cons:* Cleaner may not remove very heavy soils.* Testers said the cleaner was bulky and heavy to push.* The handle isn't height-adjustable; several of our taller testers had to lean forward while using this cleaner. (The one I rented had an adjustable handle like RD)* The unit cleans and extracts the carpet only on the backward stroke, making it difficult to maneuver around a room.* Some controls may not be intuitive, and you may have to ask a sales associate for a complete instruction manual.* Upholstery attachment tools can be used with this cleaner; but they weren't included with the rental. (I rented from Home Depot and attachment tools came free, RugDoctor at Lowes was an extra $3)Rug Doctor Mighty ProPros:* Picked up a significant amount of dirt in Institute tests and should work well on high-traffic areas.* Extracted almost half of the water we put into the carpets.* Controls are easy to understand and use.* Manual is complete and accurate.Cons:* The machine cleans and extracts only on the backward stroke, making it more difficult to maneuver around a room.* Can be heavy to push when filled with water.* The handle moves forward and backward, but doesn't extend up or down; several of our taller testers had to lean forward while using this cleaner.* Solution and water must be mixed in a separate bucket and poured into the tank, which can be messy.

Bissell PowerLifter PowerBrush Upright Steam Carpet Cleaner
Powerlifter® Powerbrush Upright Deep Cleaner. The powerful and easy to use full size deep cleaner for carpet and area rugs
Amazon Sales Rank: #6704 in Home Color: Purple Brand: Bissell Model: 1622 Number of items: 1 Dimensions: 44.00" h x 11.00" w x 19.00" l, 12 amp full-size upright carpet cleaner with 4-row rotating DirtLifter PowerBrush Removes deep-down grit and stains using hot tap water and detergent Removable nozzle; lint screen; 2-in-1 water tank for easy filling and emptying Built-in measuring cup; 16-ounce bottle of Fiber Cleansing Formula included Measures 19 by 11 by 44 inches; 1-year limited warranty
Amazon.com Review Dirt is a normal part of a carpet's everyday wear and tear--but that dirt can get ground deep into a rug's fibers every time it's walked on, damaging them permanently. Portable, lightweight, and easy to use, the Bissell PowerLifter PowerBrush Upright Deep Cleaner protects and extends carpet life by removing deep-down grit and stains, using just hot tap water, deep-cleaning detergent, and its four-row rotating DirtLifter PowerBrush. Carpets are left clean, odor-free, even gently groomed for a polished look. The PowerLifter's user-friendly design includes thoughtful touches like a comfortable handle, quick-release cord hooks, a lint screen, and easy-to-maneuver wheels, as well as a built-in measuring cup and a removable nozzle for quick clean up. In addition, the unit's two-in-one water-tank system features a heavy-duty bladder inside for clean water, which empties and mixes with the cleaning formula during operation. The dirty water that gets pulled out of the carpets collects around the outside of the bladder, which means the clean and dirty water never mix. The unit's wide cleaning path covers more ground in less time, while the 20-foot power cord spares users from unplugging and re-plugging when cleaning larger rooms. The PowerLifter is not a steam-cleaning machine, so don't expect the same results that steam can deliver. It is, however, an inexpensive alternative to professional cleaning, without the hassle and expense of carting a rental machine back and forth. The unit comes with a 16-ounce bottle of Fiber Cleansing Formula and a dual-purpose Scotchgard-enhanced detergent that both deep-cleans carpet and protects it from future dirt and stains. The 12 amp full-size upright deep cleaner measures 19 by 11 by 44 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty. --Mary Park

So I ran out to rent a carpet cleaner which we needed immediately due to a monster spill. All the rentals were rented out! + It costs $$ to rent. + And who knows whats left over in those machines. So I made the decision to buy one to have in just such an emergency. Great decision. Why buy an expensive Bissell for over $250 when this 1622 Powerlifter Powerbrush can do everything they can. It's got the brushes it's got the power. The only real difference between those models is that they heat up the water for you. Well can't you just pour hot water into the resevoir? Yes you can. And away we go. I made this wise economic puchase some months ago. This machine has proven itself reliable strong and able time after time. The ultimate weapon for all sorts of messes.. . . . .. And yes it cleans alot better that the store rental units. Oh and by the way we did try that little green machine cleaner. For-get-aboudit. 38 of 43 people found the following review helpful. Good cleaner - as long as you don't have dirty carpets! By Ann McCann After three cleanings of two area rugs - I wash them once a month, the nozzles that squirt cleaning solution plugged up. Checking the internet we found that clogged nozzles are a common complaint - and not at all easy to unplug. We called the Bissell company, who put us through some tests (have a screwdriver handy when you call the customer service line!) and recommended we take it to a local repairman.The Bissell- recommended repair person quoted me $89.95 to clean the machine and get it running again. Cleaning and belts are not covered under Bissell's warranty - making the warranty effectively useless. I had had a Bissell with a heater and an upholstery brush that lasted several years. I had hoped that the machine would be more durable without the heater - but I guess not. Now we're in a quandary over what to buy the next time, and I'm depressed over buying a rug cleaner that would only work for three times on two 5x8 area rugs! 24 of 26 people found the following review helpful. very pleased By D. Montano I rely on this little cleaner to keep up with pet stains. I could not be happier. It cleans, it picks up the water nicely, it's quiet and it's an inexpensive option. The water container is easy to operate, it sits right down with a tight seal, it's easy to carry. This is a very nicely designed, inexpensive cleaner. See all 27 customer reviews...

Schnug I bought this item from the HSN but then found it cheaper here on amazon.com (of course, DOH!). This is a perfect tool for cleaning up light spots on the carpet but does not do the same job as a more heavy-duty carpet steam cleaner. The pluses are that you can store it with the soapy water in the canister, and it is light and easy to manuever. I use it mostly to do spot cleaning; for example, cleaning up after my cat's furballs. It is always an event to have to break out the large steam cleaner, but this is an easy tool to grab, use, and return to the closet. The brushes on the bottom of the cleaner do not move (they aren't agitated), which is the norm with the heavy duty steam cleaners; however, I like this feature better for regular use as it will not have as much wear and tear on the carpet. I give this appliance 4 stars out of 5. It is a good supplementary cleaning tool but not a must-have. See all 1 customer reviews...

I have used about every other carpet cleaner on the market and none of them have compared to this one. I have two dogs, three cats, 3 kids and a husband who wont take his shoes off! By the time I got done cleaning the carpets, I just stood in amazement. It looked like i had just put new carpet down. I never write reviews but I had to for this product! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Nontoxic Carpet Cleaner By J. Harper I have three dogs and a bird. It came time to shampoo my carpet and I didn't want to use a cleaner that gave off any kind of scented fumes or used chemicals the pets might inhale or walk on then unintentionally lick from their paws. I remembered using Simple Green back in the seventies so gave their carpet cleaner a try. It worked great. Cleaned well, the scent was mild. I used it with my Hoover carpet cleaning machine. This is the third time I have purchased it. I also use the regular Simple Green Cleaner around the house now. See all 2 customer reviews...
