The Hoover spot cleaner is designed to remove practically any mess your dog or cat can throw at you, including muddy paw prints, urine stains, and vomit. Just fill the tank with water and solution, spray the area, place the nozzle over the area, and watch the rug start to look brand new again. The spot cleaner has a dual-tank system that stores the mess it sucks up on one side and distributes clean water from the other, so you’re not cleaning with the same nasty water you just pulled up. To buy: $69 (was $90); amazon.com. Additionally, the “small but powerful” spot cleaner comes with a bristle tool that’s ideal for scrubbing just-made messes on rugs and upholstered furniture, as well as a rubber nub tool that has little spikes on the bottom to get deep into carpet fibers, so nothing’s left behind. The spot cleaner will also deliver that professional kind of clean for human-made accidents too. Think: spilled wine, overturned cereal and milk, and baby and toddler messes. Since you’ll probably be using this all over your home, you’ll love that the compact spot cleaner is extremely light to carry. At just under 7 pounds, the cleaner is easy to move anywhere—so you can tackle the dog slobber on the living room rug before getting to the heavily trafficked stairs, and then move on to the bedroom where the cat likes to nap. And when you’re done, the compact spot cleaner can be tucked away in the cupboard or a closet. In fact, one person who has two pets and a “messy” partner titled their review, “Must-Have for Dog Owners or Parents” and shared that they use the Hoover to refresh their chaise lounge.“After about five minutes, I sucked up some nasty water. And [the] stains are immediately gone,” they wrote. “It is wonderful.” The same shopper confirmed that it also eliminated dog smells. Another who believes it’s “perfect” for pet accidents and smaller spills confirmed, “This is by far the best out there, and the suction is much more powerful than I thought it’d be capable of.”
