I own a three bedroom house with light beige carpet throughout, a large dog and three cats. Over the years I have used many different carpet cleaning solutions as they all claimed to have extraordinary cleaning capabilities- Most do not do the job and leave the carpet feeling hard and scrunchy... Hoover has done an amazing job with their new "Paws & Claws" carpet cleaning formula, the carpets I had pretty much given up hope on not only came out clean, but they are soft! I also used some of the "Pet Order Eliminator" as having a menagerie running around the house as I do, not only do accidents happen but odors in general sink into the carpet- Could not be more pleased with this product, once again Hoover out does them all~
