The Shark StainStriker HairPro Pet Carpet Cleaner excels at tackling unexpected messes, especially those left by pets. When an accident occurs, the dual-activated cleaning solution is designed to mix and activate at the point of application, providing an immediate, powerful attack on stains like red wine, chocolate, or pet urine without needing to pre-treat the area or apply heat.
Its innovative HairPro Pet Technology is a standout feature for pet owners. Instead of hair wrapping around brushes or tools, it's directed straight into the dirty water tank, preventing clogs and maintaining consistent suction. This means you can confidently clean pet beds, carpeted stairs, or even your car's interior where pet hair often accumulates, without worrying about machine performance degradation due to tangles.
After applying the solution and scrubbing with an appropriate attachment, the super-powerful suction quickly extracts the dirty water and residue. This leaves the cleaned area nearly dry, minimizing waiting time before you can use the space again. For example, a freshly cleaned pet spot on your living room rug can be dry enough to walk on within minutes, rather than hours.
The included attachments allow for targeted cleaning: the Tough Stain attachment for heavily soiled areas, the Crevice attachment for tight spots, and the Pet Hair and Pet Stain attachments for specialized pet-related cleanups. Whether it's a fresh spill or a stubborn, ground-in mess, the StainStriker is built to provide a focused, effective clean.
