Renewal Carpet Cleaning Solution, AH30924

The Hoover Renewal Deep Cleaning Formula (AH30932) has been a staple in my cleaning arsenal for years. In 2026, with the influx of "eco-friendly" but underpowered cleaners, this concentrated formula remains the benchmark for what a true deep clean should look like. Here is the professional breakdown. The Science: Lifting vs. Masking Most grocery-store carpet soaps simply mask odors with heavy perfumes. The Hoover Renewal formula uses advanced surfactants that penetrate deep into the carpet fibers to break the bond between the "grit" and the fabric. In my testing, I used this on a high-traffic hallway that hadn't been professionally cleaned in two years. The result in the dirty water tank was a murky, dark grey—proof that it was pulling up deep-seated particulates that other "surface-level" cleaners missed. The Concentration Factor This is a 2X Concentrated formula. In a 128oz jug, you are getting enough solution to clean a standard 2,000-square-foot home multiple times over. Because you use less per tank, the "cost-per-room" is significantly lower than buying smaller, pre-diluted bottles. PROS Exceptional Stain Lifting: It excels at "lifestyle stains"—mud, spilled coffee, and tracked-in dirt. It brightens the look of the carpet pile, making older rugs look "renewed" rather than just damp. Universal Machine Compatibility: While it’s a Hoover product, I have tested this in Bissell, Rug Doctor, and Kenmore machines with zero issues. It doesn't over-foam, which is the #1 cause of machine motor failure. Fresh, Crisp Scent: The "Renewal" scent is clean and airy. It doesn't have that "chemical hospital" smell; instead, it leaves the room smelling like fresh laundry without being overpowering for those with sensitive noses. No Sticky Residue: One of my biggest pet peeves is a "crunchy" carpet after it dries. This formula rinses clean, leaving the fibers soft and plush. Great Value: The 128oz size is the "Pro's Choice." It’s a massive amount of cleaning power for a very competitive price point. CONS Heavy Lifting: 128oz (one gallon) is heavy. If you have mobility issues, you might find it difficult to pour accurately into the small measuring caps without a funnel. Tough on Protein Stains: While it's great for dirt, for heavy biological pet accidents (urine/feces), you may still need to pre-treat with an enzymatic cleaner first for 100% odor elimination. Drying Time: Because it’s a deep-cleaning formula, it encourages deep saturation. Expect a 4–6 hour drying time depending on your home’s humidity. Overall Input The Hoover Renewal AH30932 is a masterclass in chemical engineering. It is a reliable, hardworking, and high-value solution that does exactly what it says on the jug: it renews. It turns the chore of carpet cleaning into a satisfying "before and after" transformation. Reviewer Pro-Tip: For a true "Professional Finish," perform a Rinse Pass. After you’ve cleaned the room with the solution, fill your machine with just plain, warm water and go over the carpet one more time. This removes any lingering traces of soap and ensures your carpet stays cleaner for longer by preventing dirt from sticking to soap molecules! Who is this for? Homeowners with high-traffic areas, parents of active kids, and anyone who wants their carpets to look and smell "brand new" without the expense of a professional crew.

Pros - cleans well on dirty carpet, smells pleasant, goes a long way in my Hoover carpet cleaner. I tried all kinds of carpet sprays, powders, etc. on some dark high-traffic areas on a super-light almost white carpet and none worked. So I had a professional carpet cleaner come in ($325), but to my surprise he left most high traffic areas maybe only 75% better, but you could still see the dirty areas from all the footy traffic. So I tried a Hoover carpet machine (bought off Amazon, $120, 100% pleased), and actually got the carpet much cleaner than the professional using this cleaning solution. To be fair, he was only here once, and I had to go over the hi-traffic areas 3-4 times with the Hoover machine to get it really clean, but that isn't the cleaning solution's fault if a professional carpet cleaner couldn't get it clean the first time either. In the end the carpets come out as good as can be expected and in some areas are actually 100% clean now which to me is surprising, given how dirty they were. CONS - THIS IS A BIG BOTTLE AND DOESNT HAVE A POURING SIZED CAP unlike smaller versions of Hoover cleaning solutions. But it was much less expensive per fluid ounce, so I kept a smaller Hoover bottle (with pouring cap) when it was empty and fill that smaller easier to handle bottle from this one. Otherwise, it could be messy trying to get this solution into the Hoover machine's solution container if you try pouring out of this big bottle, unless maybe you use a funnel?

I use this to clean my couches and let me tell you, it takes all stains out, it makes it smell clean and very easy to use. I pour this into a carpet cleaner that I have and I make 1 pass through the entire couch and it cleans it with no problem. I get plenty of uses out of this bottle so it’s definitely worth the money. It last quite a few months because I wash the couches every month. I have 3 small dogs and a cat who love to be on the couch and this removes the dog and cat smell and takes any stains out. I’ve also used this to clean the rug in one of the rooms and it took the stains out of the rug as well, but I mainly use it on the couch now since I don’t have rugs anymore. I recommend this product especially paired with a carpet cleaner.

This carpet shampoo works well for deep cleaning and removing everyday dirt and stains. The scent is mild and not overpowering, and it lathers nicely in the machine. My only small complaint is that it can take a bit of effort to rinse completely if you use a lot, but overall it leaves carpets looking fresh and revitalized. A reliable choice for regular deep cleaning.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT!

Cleans good and smells good

Great solution and perfect for all kind of carpets.

What I like about this product is that it is 100% effective. Somehow I let it sit around for the better part of the year because I thought it had a shampoo texture when in fact, it has a very thin, watery texture. This does not at all diminish its efficacy. I whipped it out to try to remove a set in grape juice stain that remained after I had my carpet, professionally steam cleaned. I was so disappointed after the professional cleaning, because not only was the carpet still filthy. Some of the stains remained to my astonishment… I poured some of this product directly on the stain and immediately lifted the stain with a paper towel. I use bounty I think it’s the best it is so absorbent anyways after that went so amazingly well I decided to try to see if it would lift some dirt too. The problem that we have been having is that dirt had accumulated on the edges of our pale area carpet because the edges are hard to vacuum and shampoo. Along the edges, I pour the solution directly on the dirt, waited a couple of seconds, and then lifted the dirt with bounty my carpet. I’m so sorry I did not make a video but you can physically see the dirt that has been lifted on the bounty, so I pretty much repeated this procedure until there was no more dirt showing up on my paper towel. My husband was upset that I went through about six rolls of bounty. But as I pointed out the cost for six rolls of paper towels is so much less than the hundreds of dollars that we spent on the professional carpet cleaning. I should also add that the carpet edges especially were really dirty. Are used a different shampoo a regular shampoo from Hoover and bought a carpet cleaner from Hoover and that did not clean this carpet. Then came Covid. Then we got the professional steam cleaning then I discovered this fantastic product. So far it has removed Concorde grape juice, stains that had been set in, Crayola “washable” marker and deep set dirt all along the edges. I’m re-purchasing and I’m going to use it in my Hoover steam cleaner. Hopefully that will work as well as lifting the stains manually with paper towels. I don’t see how anyone could be disappointed with this product. It’s practically magic.
