Our take on the Hoover CleanSlate Plus Portable Carpet & Upholstery Spot Cleaner

The Hoover CleanSlate Plus is a compact, corded spot cleaner for carpets and upholstery. It sprays cleaning solution into the stain and then vacuums the dirty water back into a tank, so it handles spills, pet accidents and set-in marks that a vacuum alone leaves behind. It is a spot tool, not a whole-room carpet washer, so it suits households that want a small machine for quick cleanups rather than deep cleaning a full floor. Against larger carpet extractors it trades tank capacity and cleaning width for a lighter body that is easy to carry and store.

Questions and answers

Is the CleanSlate Plus a vacuum or a carpet washer?

It is a wet spot cleaner. It sprays cleaning solution and sucks the dirty water back up, so it cleans stains rather than loose dirt. For everyday dry vacuuming you still need a regular vacuum.

Can it clean a whole room of carpet?

It can, but it is built for spots. The tanks are small and the cleaning path is narrow, so a full room means many refills. A full-size carpet extractor is the better tool for wall-to-wall cleaning.

Does it work on upholstery and car seats?

Yes. The hose and nozzle let you work on sofas, chairs, stairs and car interiors. Test any fabric in a hidden spot first, since some upholstery is not meant to get wet.

Does it need special cleaning solution?

It uses a liquid carpet and upholstery cleaning formula mixed with water. Hoover sells its own solution, and other brands' spot-cleaning formulas work too. Follow the mixing ratio on the bottle.

How long does carpet take to dry after use?

It depends on the carpet and how much solution you apply. Light passes with good extraction dry faster. Keep pets and foot traffic off the area until it is dry.
