This spot cleaner worked so much better then I thought it would . I have a boxer (7yrs) and a maltese (1yr)and when I tell you it's like having 2 toddlers in my house its hectic . They love playing in the dirt , love eating their oily bones on their beds and drool and whatever else they can get their paws on . This little machine works miracles and sucked it right it , yes it's small and therefore it's for small jobs like a dog bed , spots on carpet , not a big project . I highly recommend this product to all pet lovers and children .
