This is the helping hand you need if you have pets in your home. Pets do occasionally make messes and more so if you are puppy or kitten training, the messes with these little ones seems endless! Many pet owners know that however hard you scrub and scrub and perhaps try a variety of household cleaners, the stains are often still there. That in itself is so annoying and leaves you wondering what to try next as the pet accidents appear to have sunk into your lovely carpet and despite your cleaning attempts these messes seem to have spread and often do cause a faint smell.
As a dog owner I was delighted to be able to try out this SpotWash and was delighted to find that it was so easy to use. But firstly I must comment on how brilliantly it was packaged on delivery. I always think that when a company has taken such trouble to get their packaging right, the contents must be, pardon the pun, spot on! The design and engineering on this machine was impressive and I cleaned up not only just after muddy paws but after the children too. Life is for sure messy, but to have this neat and clever machine made my life easier, without a doubt. The SpotWash Home came with a free Stain Removal Kit which included: Vax StainShot Original, Vax StainShot Oxy Lift and the Vax StainShot Antibacterical and was worth £30.00. When ordering from vax.co.uk you also get three bottles of Stain Removal Kit, again worth £30.00.
To remove stains and spills just fill the SpotWash with water and the solution and you are ready to clean. There’s a trigger on the handle which means that you can accurately target the stain or spill you are dealing with. The SpotWash machine then gets to work and it cleans and extracts the stain you are removing into the dirty water tank. Then when the mess has magically disappeared you just pour away. Gosh, this was so easy and effective to do and there was no evidence of the mess left behind. The area was looking clean and smelling great – that was my job done!
This machine has been cleverly designed so it is easy for you to ‘grab and go’ which means you’ll use it all the time. Although I love my carpet cleaning machine that is for larger areas and I do find it quite an effort to drag it out from under the stairs. I did though think this machine was rather deceptive, in that I wasn’t expecting such a compact machine would be so powerful, but it was and because it was compact I could fit it, even with all the tools, into a kitchen cupboard. I found it amazing to use and the clean was superb. My plus point was it being in a cupboard so it was handy to reach for to deal with general household messes and I wasn’t having to drag and struggle with a larger machine.
The Pet Tool Kit includes a number of tools so you can be effective when you have got messes and spills on different surfaces throughout your home. So let me tell you about the SpinScrub Hand Tool, this attachment is so clever. It has automatic rotating bristles which effectively removes any dirt that has gone deep into your carpet pile or into your upholstery, but the best bit and call me lazy if you wish, you don’t’ have to do any scrubbing as this clever tool does all the hard work. So easy to use, the SpinScrub hand tool, with the help of the cleaning solution gives a near spotless environment for your pets and of course your family too as it kills over 99% of potentially harmful bacteria. Then there’s an Extra Wide 2-in-1 Wash Tool, with carpet and upholstery attachment and a hard floor attachment. The Messy Clean Up Tool, I’ve used a lot as this carpet cleaning attachment is just perfect for pet mishaps but also means there is no cross contamination with your everyday cleaning tool. The Crevice Tool is perfect for cleaning around edges, nooks and crannies, stairs and upholstery, those annoying niggly places which are always a nightmare to keep clean. All the attachments have an antimicrobial treatment which helps protects against the growth of bacteria and fungi. I must say that is something I’d never even thought about, so it is a good job I can rely on the knowledge and expertise of Vax.
I also found that their new Odour Neutraliser Spray really does break up the tougher and smellier messes, so that my home smelt much fresher and not like a dog kennel, which is something I always worry about when people visit, especially if they are not pet lovers.
I guess it seems rather silly to say you love a machine, but this SpotWash Home Pet-Design, with its terrific specialised tools has given me the confidence to quickly remove messes, easily and with little effort, so my home is clean and safe for the family and our pets.
Although this machine is classed as a home pet design, it’s obvious the emphasis is on pets, but I’ve found it invaluable for cleaning the messes the children make, plus there’s no forgetting the odd wine or beer spill! So even if I didn’t have pets in my home I’d still want this for all the human messes that we create on a daily basis. Yet another area where this machine was a blessing was in cleaning the inside of the car. This really showed its usefulness generally, but especially when we take the dog to the beach or on a long muddy walk through the forests. It is amazing how much sand, mud and dirt four paws can bring back into the car and that is not counting the humans! I’d always see our car as untidy and grubby but I have never had the time or inclination to take it to be valeted, but now with the SpotWash I don’t need to have that hassle or cost.
This is without doubt the best cleaning companion I have tried and I love the versatility of this machine allowing me to remove stains, spills and pet messes with very little effort. Do check out the Vax website for more information and their range of products.
