I just used this cleaner for the first time today and was pleased with its performance. After cleaning up the solid particles with paper towels, I used the SpotClean Pro Pet Portable Carpet Cleaner. It did a great job of cleaning and leaving the carpet nearly dry. I tested for dryness using paper towels, and the carpet had a little dampness but definitely not wet. So glad I purchased this item. I have two aging dogs and grandchildren that live with us so this is a necessity, I don't want to get the large carpet cleaner out every time there is an accident.
