Tech titan Shark has unveiled a revolutionary product that tackles stains with unprecedented ease. The company’s latest brainchild, the Shark StainForce, is a new cordless handheld spot cleaner designed to alleviate ‘stainxiety’ for cleaning enthusiasts, busy mums and pet owners. This innovative tool from Shark aims to eliminate the physical strain associated with stain removal on carpets.
Boasting a cordless design and a lightweight build of less than 1.4kg, the StainForce is compact, portable and powerful, making it the perfect weapon against tough stains. It takes four hours for the reusable battery to charge, which gives 15 minutes of use.
Priced at £169.99, the device comes with a dual-formula spray, which Shark claims is 30 times more effective in fighting stains than using Shark’s Deep Clean Pro alone. The StainForce also features a Grab-and-Go Caddy, a self-contained organiser that keeps the unit, its attachments and spray solutions together in one place.
This formula also works wonders in eliminating strong odours from sources such as pet urine and smoke, leaving the treated area smelling fresh and looking pristine, reports the Mirror.
Reviews for the device are excellent with many satisfied users hailing it as “fantastic”. One happy person wrote: “Great product, cannot fault it does what it says on the box I put the solution down and cleaned it so happy. I could use it in the car as well. 10 stars, not five.”
Another user shared: “Used this to clean spilt hot chocolate sachet on a dog bed and it cleaned it all up in a less than a minute and was really easy to empty the tank.” And a third cleaning enthusiast wrote: “This is a fantastic product for a busy home. We have 3 dogs and have tested the product out on both old and fresh muddy paw prints with great success. Just make sure you saturate the stain well. Good job of drying both the carpet and sofa. Very pleased with the results.”
Describing how to use it, one person explained: “Vacuum main debris, use StainForce to agitate the stain, spray cleaning solution and clean. Repeat as necessary. The solution, in my opinion, smelled nice and not like some cleaners that smell harsh. It was easy to dispel the dirt from the machine, and it cleaned up really beautifully.”
Whilst some customers have noted how it tackles stubborn, aged stains, one reviewer didn’t find it shifted them readily, claiming the device worked best on “new marks”. Someone else mentioned that they docked the bundle one star due to the “cost of the cleaning solution, not the machine itself, which is fabulous”.
In the user guide, Shark suggests that for older and tougher stains, to let the spray solution sit for five minutes before extracting. It continues: “If a difficult stain was not removed, wait 24 hours and repeat the stain cleaning process. Very old or tough stains may require multiple attempts to fully clean.”
