When a stain happens on upholstery or your carpets, it doesn't take long for certain substances to take hold for good, hence the need for suitable appliances that will clear that stain easily and fully.
The Shark CarpetXpert, now $70 less at QVC for Presidents' Day, sucks stains right out of fabric. This edition comes with the Shark StainStriker, a spot cleaning powerhouse that can take care of upholstery, while the CarpetXpert can deep clean carpet.
The Shark CarpetXpert and StainStriker Can Banish Stains From Carpets and Upholstery
Before and after shots of a six-month-old stain that our tester cleared using the Shark CarpetXpert and StainStriker.
There's a special place in your essential cleaning toolkit for a carpet cleaner and spot cleaner. They do the work that our human hands would need a lot more time and physical energy to complete, dabbing and scrubbing over and over until stains disappear.
Instead of patiently hoping that your hard work will get rid of stains, the Shark CarpetXpert and StainStriker can simply pull them right out of the fabric. This can take seconds (genuinely) while being much safer, as you avoid the risk of scrubbing stains deeper into the fabric, a classic rule of stain removal that is all too easy to forget in the moment.
So if you have carpets and soft furnishings in your home and you often find yourself patiently scrubbing away stains to varying effect, the Shark CarpetXpert, currently on offer at QVC for Presidents' Day, is for you. It saves time, cleans more thoroughly, and is safe to use on your precious fabrics.
We saw this first-hand when testing the Shark CarpetXpert. Mystery stains on an outdoor lounge chair, that were more than six months old, were cleared after two quick rounds of spraying and scrubbing.
And it's the spraying that helps the CarpetXpert and StainStriker work as such effective stain removers, and such strong carpet and upholstery cleaners in general. This dedicated Shark cleaning solution is designed to deep clean these soft furnishings to break down stains, remove odors, and wash out bacteria, while protecting the fabric from damage and being safe for pets to sniff and walk on.
The Shark CarpetXpert does what traditional upright vacuums can't. Vacuum cleaners are essential appliances for removing dust, hair, and debris from our carpets, but they don't actually wash them. The stains, bacteria, and odors that are rife within the carpet fibers are still left to grow, affecting our physical well-being, the comfort of our homes, and even damaging the floors down the line.
After one pass over a seemingly clean 8x10' rug, the dirty tank was full of murky brown liquid, and afterwards, the rug had some of its original color restored, while smelling and looking much fresher.
And if you're a pet owner who has long wished for your best vacuum for pet hair to be able to get rid of accidents, the Shark CarpetXpert is your savior. It has a special pet tool with a self-contained dirty tank to avoid nasty messes from getting into the main tank.
It was able to clear a gross mess left behind by a cat, and luckily, the dedicated pet tool has silicone nubs that are much easier to clean than the bristles on the other attachments. After a minute or two of scrubbing, the majority of the mess and stain was gone, and the floor tool was able to clear the rest of it – along with cleaning other old stains and spots of discoloration after being outside all summer.
The Shark CarpetXpert with StainStriker is discounted to $299.98 at QVC for President's Day.
What to Shop
If you don't need a full-sized carpet cleaner, or perhaps can't sacrifice the storage space for one, you can buy the Shark StainStriker spot cleaner by itself, which will still be able to banish stains from flooring and furniture. But if you have a lot of carpet, the Shark CarpetXpert's more powerful floor cleaning shouldn't be ignored.
While you're ordering, save on delivery by stocking up on the Shark StainStriker cleaning solution. It means you won't have to buy any again for a long time (as it already comes included).
Its spot cleaning abilities may not be as strong as the Shark CarpetXpert – with a notable lack of a dedicated pet mess tool – but the Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is undoubtedly the most effective carpet cleaner we've tested. It uses steam power to break down tough stains and bacteria, that's so powerful that it was able to clear stains that were more than two years old at a pet shelter.

Our Kitchen Appliances Editor, Chiana Dickson, highly rates the Black+Decker Steam Mop for stain removal without harsh chemicals, and she uses it to clean everything around the house, from flooring to soft furnishings to her oven, cutting chores in half.
If your home has more hard floors, the Dreame H14 Pro is the most effective we've tested when it comes to stain removal and floor washing, eliminating mess in seconds then leaving floors dry a few minutes later.
