So I've been looking for something like a wet-vac for a long time, all the ones I'd see would be huge storage wise and costly. To keep up with my four cats that make minimal accidents, this is awesome. I had a futon that I tried hitting with a scrub and towel but didn't make much of a difference, after just three passes, the yrs long stains lifted. I would very much recommend for small messes and just to freshen up the furniture in general. The suction isn't like HEAVY DEUTY, but with just a tiny bit of extra pressure, you get great use of it.
