From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8
“H319 (eye irritation Cat 2) is present in SDS §2 classification. No reclassification document exists for the working-solution concentration · SDS §2 H-codes are treated as applying at working-solution dilution per health.md PPE guidance. Eye contact during tank-fill is the primary plausible pathway.”

U.S. regulatory standard
29 CFR 1910.133(a)(1)
“The employer shall ensure that each affected employee uses appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from… liquid chemicals…”

TL;DR Label-claimed low-foam at the recommended 4·5 oz per gallon dilution · well-reviewed by a large owner base with no documented foam failures, though independent automotive detailer confirmation is absent. Handles everyday carpet stains reliably; deodorizing is fragrance-based soil removal, not enzyme neutralization.
A 2X concentrate designed for full-size and portable carpet extractors · Hoover, Bissell, and Rug Doctor are all cited as compatible machines. At the label dilution of 4·5 oz per gallon (roughly 1:25·1:32), the low-foam surfactant chemistry is well-suited to machine extraction without documented pump complaints. Broad, well-rated owner feedback shows solid performance on fresh food, drink, and carpet soil. Set-in stains may need a second pass. Odor reduction comes from soil removal plus a Fresh Linen scent · there is no named enzyme in the disclosed chemistry.
A good fit for owners running a Hoover, Bissell, or Rug Doctor extractor on car carpet and upholstery · the concentrate stretches across many tank fills. Buyers without an extractor should look at a spray-agitate carpet cleaner instead; this formula is engineered for machine extraction and is not designed for brush-and-blot use.
The SDS (2015, WARNING signal word) carries H319 eye irritation · safety glasses during tank-fill reflect that classification. Skin and inhalation tiers are situational: direct hand contact when pouring concentrate, and steam in a closed cabin during extraction. Water-based, label-claimed biodegradable; spent dirty water goes down the drain via the machine recovery tank.
The Safety Data Sheet for Hoover CleanPlus Carpet Cleaner and Deodorizer carries a WARNING signal word, with classified hazards including H319 (causes serious eye irritation). See the PPE breakdown above for use-case-specific guidance translated from the SDS hazard codes.
CarCareTruth scores Hoover CleanPlus Carpet Cleaner and Deodorizer at 7.1 out of 10 on the composite CCT score, with a health sub-score of 8.5/10. The CCT score blends real-world effectiveness, ingredient health impact pulled from the manufacturer's safety sheet, and environmental footprint against a published category rubric. See the methodology link on this page for the full scoring breakdown.
Per the Safety Data Sheet ingredient disclosure: SDS §3 (2015-03-24): Laurylmyristyl polyglycol ether with EO & PO (CAS 68439-51-0) 0.5·1.5%; Alkylpolyglycoside C8-C10 (CAS 68515-73-1) 0.5·1.5%; Poly(oxy-2-ethanediyl) alpha-undecyl-omega-hydroxy (CAS 34398-01-1) 0.8·2.0%. Remainder: water + trade secret. Back label: 'Detergent contains anionic and non-ionic surfactants.'
