Since pet messes can leave behind lingering odors, it’s important to find a formula that will help remove bad smells. Other stains, like red wine, will come out more easily if you use a product that’s designed for such spills. Though it does weigh in at 19 pounds when full, we still found the Bissell Spot Clean Pet Pro to be lightweight and easy to carry thanks to an ergonomic handle. The spray trigger is also ergonomic, so you should feel comfortable using this carpet cleaner right away.

It’s important to note that this spray cleaner is specifically designed to remove wine stains, not necessarily other messes. While the Chateau cleaner did okay at removing barbecue sauce during our tests, it didn’t do so well with soil. And as far as odors, it wasn’t able to remove the smell of urine from any surfaces. in the market to help us deal with the job effortlessly. How To Choose The Best Foam Carpet Cleaner? This Bissell has a gentle whirring sound, but make no mistake—it’s working hard to get those stains out of your carpet and upholstery. It removed the wine and coffee stain, while the dirt stain left just a faint reminder that a mess was there. The chocolate stain was the hardest to lift; it was still detectable after cleaning. However, this carpet cleaner is billed for pets, not food stains.

Rid your rugs and flooring of troublesome stains and persistent dirt with our roundup of the best carpet shampoos

Some cleaners are tough to use and contain harmful ingredients, while others are too weak to fully remove stains,” says Andrii Gurskyi, co-founder of HomeClean. Though the Woolite Heavy Traffic Carpet, Rug & Upholstery Cleaner successfully erased fresh wine stains and set-in mud stains, it failed to get rid of barbecue sauce and urine. Plus, the aerosol can produced copious amounts of foam, which didn’t wow our testers, making it a more difficult product to apply than all the other spray bottles on our list. Carpet cleaners are incredibly effective, but they can also be disruptively loud. Not so for the Shark CarpetXpert, which is pretty quiet. While we don’t exactly think you should run it during a dinner party, we felt that a family member in another room would probably not be disturbed by the noise level.

Our testers took detailed notes on how well each cleaner removed stains, noting which were easy to use, if a second application was needed, and if any odors remained.

The SpotlessGo is equipped with two scrubbing brushes (a nylon one for general duties and a rubberised comb for cleaning up after pets), a short 80cm hose, a small 28ml water tank and a much larger 400ml dirty-water reservoir. When testing out the Kids ‘N’ Pets Instant Stain and Odor Remover in the lab, one of our experts noted it was one of the best she’d seen at removing pet urine from rugs. In just one treatment, the cleaner caused urine odors and stains to vanish from the carpet. Though it took two spray treatments to remove smells from the upholstery, these stains disappeared, too. Plus, the cleaner’s scent is gentle and not at all overpowering, even with double applications, so your home won’t smell like chemicals once you’re done. The Bissell does seem to have a lower suction ability and the water tends to dribble and leak out in some parts, so keep some dry rags on hand. However, for its price point, portability, and effectiveness at getting rid of stains, you might find it worth the added trouble.

The design is simpler than you might find on more expensive models, however. The dirty water tank, for example, is held in place by two clips, one on either side of the machine, which requires some fiddling to release, where more expensive models tend to release both tanks with a smoother, single-handed operation. While some of the most lightweight carpet cleaners on our list are cordless, the heftier models do indeed need an electric source. Most of the corded models have around 20 feet to work with because they’re meant for you to move all over a room or even into multiple rooms. However, if you’re looking for a carpet cleaner that does more spot touch-ups, you might be better suited for a cordless model. After two passes with the spray and a sponge, we found that barbecue sauce and dirt mostly disappeared, too. Note that on white carpets, the stain may still be slightly visible with dirt and sauces, but you won’t be able to see it on colored fabrics.Powder cleaners work fast on spot stains or more day-to-day dirt, with no need to dry out the carpet afterwards. Simply sprinkle on the powder, leave it for the specified time, then vacuum it up.
