For users who have pets and therefore are dealing with pet-related stains such as urine, vomit or feces, as well as pet hair, Hoover recommends the use of a pet-specific cleaner. The Hoover brand is called "Premium Pet Cleaner" and can be purchased in many hardware or home retail stores.
Many homes have carpets that require a deep cleaning to remove ground-in dirt, deep stains or old stains that have been allowed to remain in the carpet for a long time. For this type of carpet, Hoover recommends a deep cleaning solution that can be used on a variety of carpet types and upholstery as well. The Hoover brand is called "Deep Cleansing All Purpose Carpet & Upholstery Detergent."
Allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander and dust affect many people. In this instance, a fragrance-free and dye-free cleaner that is specifically developed to remove allergens from a carpet surface is recommended. Hoover has a product called "Anti-Allergen Carpet & Upholstery Detergent" for this purpose, which can be used on upholstery and carpet alike.
Unfortunately, some of the hardest stains to remove from carpet include blood, wine and juice. These so-called 'organic' stains resist many usual carpet cleaners and may leave a faint stain even after cleaning. For this purpose, Hoover recommends the use of an oxygen-based detergent to remove the stains from deep down in the carpet fibers. The Hoover version is called "Oxy Carpet & Upholstery Detergent."
