                      by dollmaker from on 2010-07-29
                      I owned a Hoover Floormate many years ago; but when I moved it did not come with me. Loved it and missed it. I believed that it was no longer being made. In checking google, lo and behold found it alive and well. ordered one asap and love it love it love it.


                      Great cleaner!

                      by Hope Hankin from on 2010-07-14
                      I love the smell of this product and the way it - and my FloorMate - clean my floors! About once a month I use the Floor Mate with little or no solution to remove any residue build-up, but WITH the cleaner my floors always look great and even my dingy grout is getting cleaner after every wash! It doesn't remove set-in bad stains in the grout but it has lightened them...my grout is badly stained and I'm told probably nothing will clean it completely (this works better than even soft scrub and murriatic acid have worked in the past).


                      I literally tried every grout-cleaning solution I could find - and this one may be the best

                      by Bold Consumer from USA on 2010-02-17
                      Last year I obsessed about cleaning my tile. It turned out that it wasn't the tile that was dirty, it was the grout!After researching everything I could get my hands on, questioning all my friends and neighbors, I tried everything that was recommended. Most took lots of scrubbing or they just didn't work. I wanted something that worked, didn't stink, and didn't leave dangerous chemicals that might harm my pet.This one does take a little scrubbing, but works really well. I haven't found anything I like better.


                      Nothing in a Bottle

                      by P. H. Phillips from Orlando, USA on 2010-02-06
                      Used as directed with FloorMate. Also used directly on grout with a brush. Used it full strength, used it diluted. Even let it stay on grout for about 15 minutes. No one of those methods did anything!! Save your money. You'll get as good results using almost anything else. Perhaps most disappointing product I've used in 10 years.


                      Hoover FloorMate Grout Cleaner, it works!!!

                      by L. Nelson from PHX., AZ on 2009-12-30
                      I purchased this grout cleaner after trying several products to get crayon out of the grout on my kitchen floor (my 2 year old decided to color the floor when I wasn't looking) and of course, I had to get on my hands and knees with a brush, but with warm water and this product the crayon came out! I was disappointed when Wal-Mart decided not to carry this product anymore. I have been looking around for it but haven't found it at all, the price I originally purchased it for around $4.89. It's a great product and well worth the price, when you consider it restores your grout to looking like "new" again.

                      Not the same brush in photos, but hey it still works great!

                      by J. Burch from Massachusetts on 2009-07-03
                      I was surprised.....it is NOT the same brush in the photo, not at all. The one I recieved was long as a broom, wooden like a broom, and the end had like a "figure 8" looking attachment made of hard wire and brush, one end for skinny grout lines and one end for fatter grout lines. Definitely NOT a black plastic handle brush like shown, not even the same kind of brush/bristles. Well.......it was odd to see this completely different looking thing than I ordered, HOW EVER honestly I think I like this better than if it did look like the photo, because this one is so long you dont have to move or bend down to use it and its tough and has 2 different sizes. Only gets 3 stars because its not the same item in photos (and for some people...that would not be a happy time) and honestly it works great but looks cheaply made so the price is a bit steep but hey, again....it works. And it works good. Thats all you need, right? Id still recommend it.

                      Oxy Bolt simultaneously deploys bio-augmentation and oxygen to clean and consume grease, grime, oil, dirt, stains, and organic waste. Historically, cleaning solutions built with microbial technology and supplied oxygen could not co-exist.  Microbes and oxidizers were mutually exclusive.  These two powerful cleaning agents could not be used together as cleaners. Oxy Bolt has changed that. Oxy Bolts revolutionary technology allows these two cleaning giants to work in concert. Oxy Bolt super-stimulates existing microbes while providing abundant oxygen to unleash the cleaning supremacy of both. Meanwhile, this is all accomplished in a dry liquid powder concentrate that produces significant cost savings.Environmentally Safe Cleaner that does the job.

                      Awesome for Laminate and Tile

                      by M. Gant from Jacksonville, FL United States on 2010-05-27
                      Like the other reviewer, I had tried everything to get the gunk off my laminate floors. After laying tile in another room and dealing with streaks from the grout sealer for weeks (and the smell of the vinegar everyone swore would clean the tiles so nicely), I bought this product aong with the little microfiber bonnet that goes over the regular sponge mop head and my tiles are gleaming and beautiful without being slick or slippery. I thought maybe this is what I need on the laminates as well, so I tried it there too. AWESOME! I highly recommend this product.


                      Finally something that works on my laminate wood floors!

                      by Shelly Hendrickson from on 2009-04-21
                      I have tried everything on my laminate wood floors- either they are dull and streaky or leave build up that makes the floors sticky- until I tried this product. I was extremely happy with the results. Not only did it clean the floors nicely, but left a beautiful shine with no build up! My husband even asked what I had done to the floors; he said his shoes weren't making any sticking noises when he walked. I was also very happy with how well it worked on my ceramic tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. I finally found a product that will work on all my hard floor surfaces!! I used a narrow Microfiber mop; after I clean I just throw the pad in the washing machine so it will be ready to use again.
