How does the PowerScrub XL differ from the standard PowerScrub?

The XL adds a larger recovery tank and Quick Clean Mode on top of the five-brush SpinScrub system, so you refill less often on big jobs.

Does it clean stairs and upholstery?

Yes. The upholstery tool attaches to the hose for stairs, furniture and car seats, though the upright body itself is awkward to balance on steps.

How long does carpet take to dry?

HeatForce blows warm air to speed drying, but most owners report carpets still feel damp for several hours, so plan around foot traffic.

Do I have to use Hoover formula?

The two-tank system separates clean solution from dirty water. Hoover recommends its own carpet formula, and other low-foam solutions work but can void coverage if they foam heavily.

What comes in the box?

The machine, an upholstery tool, a nozzle cleanout tool and a sample of carpet formula. Hose and cord are attached to the unit.

Is it good for pet stains?

The brush agitation and extraction handle pet accidents well, and the separate dirty tank keeps residue out of the clean water. Treat old stains with an enzyme pre-treatment first.

About the Hoover PowerScrub XL Carpet Cleaner Machine

The Hoover PowerScrub XL Carpet Cleaner Machine (model FH68010) is built to clean deep, set-in stains and refresh carpets throughout the home. It has five counter-rotating SpinScrub brushes that scrub at multiple angles to loosen, lift and remove stains. HeatForce technology dries carpets faster.

Clean water and cleaning formula are stored together in one tank, separate from the dirty water, so you are not cleaning with dirty water. The recovery tank lets you clean more before you stop to empty and refill. Quick Clean Mode puts down less formula and water to refresh a smaller area, so it cleans and dries faster.

An upholstery tool lets you scrub and lift stains on fabrics and furniture. A nozzle cleanout tool clears dirt and debris from the brushes.
