Frequently Asked Questions

About the Hoover® FloorMate™

I have wood floors, can I use the Hoover FloorMate on them?
Yes! The FloorMate is the cleaning machine designed especially for hard floor surfaces in your home, including sealed wood, tile, marble, bamboo, linoleum, vinyl and laminate.
What is SpinScrub™ and why is it important?
SpinScrub is Hoover's patented technology using 6 powerful rotating brushes that scrub your floors so you don't have to. No more getting on your hands and knees. What's more, the brushes are gentle on floors to ensure you polish and clean without scratching.
What is the benefit of the two tank system?
The advantage of the FloorMate is that dirty water never touches your floor, leaving it cleaner—faster and easier. In one tank goes clean water and Multi-Floor Detergent. As you clean, dirty water is suctioned up and transferred to the second tank ensuring that your floors see a clean like none other.
How do I change from wet to dry settings?
The FloorMate is a simple 3-in-1 cleaning tool. To change settings, simply turn the dial to vacuum, wash or dry. It's that easy.
Will the FloorMate work on carpet as well?
No. The FloorMate is a state-of-the-art cleaning machine designed specifically to vacuum, wash and dry hard floor surfaces. Hoover makes a full line of vacuum cleaners designed to powerfully clean carpets in your home. Please visit www.hoover.com for additional information.
I have pets, will the FloorMate pick up fur?
Yes! FloorMate uses powerful suction to clean up hair, fur, dirt, food crumbs, coffee grounds and just about all the general cleaning your home requires. But with the 3-in-1 FloorMate, you can also pick up liquid spills like soda, juice and yogurt. It's truly a powerful tool.
How long do I have to wait for floors to dry?
The Hoover FloorMate dries your floor quickly using a non-abrasive squeegee. Every time you pull back on the machine, you squeegee your floor for super-fast drying.
