Getting rid of stubborn spills or stains can be a difficult task, and sometimes no amount of elbow grease will get them cleared up. But luckily, there’s help at hand that will save you working up a sweat for no reason, and will also do the cleaning job for you.
Unlike full-size vacuum cleaners, you can now invest in something that will lift spills and stains from carpets with very little effort. The Vax SpotWash Duo Spot Cleaner, now reduced on Amazon by 34%, costing £92 (prices correct at time of writing), is a great deal. The full price on Amazon is normally £139.99 so getting it for under £100 is a bargain.
It helps get rid of stains and spills by combining powerful suction with deep cleaning. And it comes with various tools too to suit your cleaning needs. There’s a messy clean-up tool and an everyday tool for day-to-day cleaning of carpets and hard floors. Because it has separate tools, some designed specifically for use on pet messes, it means a much more hygienic approach to cleaning because you’re not cross-contaminating cleaning tools.

Even more appealing is that it’s light and compact, so carrying it around from room to room is no hard task. It also makes it easy to fit on stairs alongside you as you clean or pop it on a counter if you needed. Storing it is a doddle too as it doesn’t take up loads of space, so you can also quickly grab it when needed, without the hassle of feeling like you’re unloading a huge machine. If you want to use it to clean your car seats too, getting it near the car won’t be a hassle due to it compact size too.
The Vax SpotWash Duo Spot Cleaner has an average of 4.6 star rating out of nearly 3,000 reviews, so it’s a popular buy. One five-star review on Amazon described it as ‘superb for the price’ adding: “I’ve used this on multiple car seats, mats and carpets and there hasn’t been a stain yet I’ve been unable to get rid of! I’ve also used it in the house to get a few stains out of carpets.” Someone else raved: “We have a puppy and whilst we’ve been toilet training him we’ve had a few accidents on our carpet, I bought this a few months ago and it’s been a life saver!”.
Another happy buyer said: “I don’t usually leave reviews. But this has gotten ink stains, coffee and tea stains out of upholstery that we couldn’t get out with strong stain removers by itself.” But of course, there are a few detractors. One three-star review pointed out: “Weather needs to be better before I can tackle large areas. This is because it takes a couple of days to fully dry.” While someone else said they were disappointed with how long the cleaning solution for the machine lasted, so that’s worth noting too.
Shopping around is always a good idea too, for comparisons. Shark are a well-known brand in the cleaning space, with their StainStriker Stain & Spot Cleaner coming in at £124.99 online, discounted from £149.99. Another one is Bissell’s SpotClean Stainlift, which is £109.99 online.
But for varied functionality you really can’t beat the Vax SpotWash Duo Spot Cleaner.
