This couldn't have come at a better time. My kitty decided to crack into his new treats on his own, then leave me little "presents" to clean up in the morning. I gave my large, area rug a good deep cleaning this jetscrub vacuum. Any visible staining was gone after the second pass. To say I'm impressed would be a vast understatement. Any Bissell product I've tried has never let me down. I also want to mention this was super easy to take out of the box and put together and get right to using!
