Hoover CleanSlate Carpet Cleaner

Yes, the CleanSlate is specifically designed for tight spaces like car upholstery, floor mats, and seats. Its compact size and specialized tool make it much easier to maneuver in a vehicle than a full-sized carpet cleaner.

No, the CleanSlate does not have an internal heater. You should fill the clean water tank with warm tap water to help improve the cleaning performance on stubborn stains.

For the best results and to avoid potential damage to the internal components, it is recommended to use Hoover-branded cleaning solutions. Using non-approved or harsh chemicals can clog the spray nozzles or degrade the tank seals.

After each use, empty the recovery tank and rinse it thoroughly with clean water. You should also run clean water through the hose tool to flush out any leftover solution or debris, then let all parts air dry completely before reassembling.

It is very effective for spot-cleaning pet messes on rugs and upholstery. The combination of spray and powerful suction helps lift liquids and odors out of the fibers before they set, though it is not intended for deep-cleaning an entire room of carpet.
