The Hoover CleanSlate Plus is a specialized spot cleaning machine designed to extract liquids and stains from carpets and upholstery. Its horizontal tank design provides a lower center of gravity, which helps keep the unit stable while you are reaching with the hose. The machine features a 40-ounce dual-tank system that keeps clean water and used liquid separate, ensuring that you are always applying fresh solution to the mess. It is particularly well-suited for stairs and car interiors due to its portable footprint and specific 7-inch wide tool.
Engineering data indicates that the machine uses thermoplastic gaskets to maintain suction. To keep these seals in good condition, it is best to use the recommended cleaning solutions, as very high-pH chemicals can cause the rubber to become brittle over time. A notable feature is the "Hose Rinse" tool, which allows you to flush out the inside of the hose after a cleaning session. This prevents the buildup of debris and maintains the machine's suction levels over many months of use.
