I used the carpet cleaner to clean an area in my daughter's room where her guinea pigs live. We had a few stains that got through the cage and the Power dash cleaned it up super easily. I also used it at a friend's house who had some pretty bad stains. After cleaning, the carpet looked like it was brand new again. It's very easy to use and does a great job getting everything clean. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable carpet cleaner especially with pets.
