Hoover OXY Detergent, 48 Ounces, AH30140 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My wife & I just finished off our first 48 oz. bottle of Hoover's Oxy Detergent. All that I can say is that I was really hoping for more from this product. We have shampooed two main rooms with this detergent and a Hoover SteamVac Carpet Cleaner, All-Terrain, F7452900, and it is from this that I base my review.
One of these rooms is our family room which contains a door to the garage. The carpet by that door is an obvious problem area. The other problem is the plain & simple fact that it is the family room. The amount of traffic in that room can be seen as a dingy path in front of the seating. Overall, the SteamVac seemed to pull up a lot of dirt, but this review is about the cleaner & not the...well....cleaner (SteamVac). Aside from the SteamVac lifting up copious amounts of mid- to fine-grained dirt, I cannot tell any difference in the brightness of the carpet between areas that I repeatedly shampooed and those areas that were not cleaned at this time.
In the second room (our 'formal' living room), there were a couple of spots from one spill or another (prior to getting a carpet shampooer). The same condition as above applies here. I repeatedly scrubbed a couple small, spotted areas and a quick passover on the traffic pathways. At the end, there is no discernible difference between the clean but uncleaned, the lightly cleaned, and the thoroughly scrubbed sections of carpet.
If I had seen some kind of improvement in the coloration or renewed rebound in the pile of the carpet, I might think that the Oxy cleaner was at work. Unfortunately, it not only failed to lighten up some of our Kool-Aid stains, but it left virtually no difference in look or feel between cleaned & (clean) uncleaned carpet. I can draw no other conclusion than it is no more effective than any of the cheaper detergents. To that end, save yourself a couple dollars, and buy regular detergent. If nothing else, spend those couple dollars on a pre-treat spray of some type.
