SmartWash Automatic Carpet Cleaner

This full-size carpet cleaner from Hoover has plenty of loyal fans. Our testers rated it highly, landing it a , and it has over 25,000 reviews on Amazon. One of our testers used the model to clean up old pet stains from their carpets and found it worked very well — better than the models they had tried in the past. Among the features that make this a stand-out option are the onboard wand of oxy stain solution to precisely target stains and the Heatforce technology that helps carpets dry faster so your furry friends don't have to be kept out of the room for long. When you pull back on the handle, this Hoover carpet cleaner switches automatically from washing to drying.

There's a 1-gallon water tank and a 16-ounce cleaning formula tank that take the guesswork out of preparing a cleaning solution. They automatically mix in the proper proportions before they are dispensed onto your carpets. With a 12-foot hose, a two-in-one pet tool and a stair tool, you can tackle messes off the ground and in tight spaces too. And keeping all of the extra attachments together is easy thanks to the included accessory bag that can be stored onboard. The power cord is a little shorter than many other full-size models we've tested in the past, but at 22 feet long, it should still be suitable to reach most spots in many homes.

Pet Stain Eraser PowerBrush

have long been strong performers in our Lab tests and favorites of our experts. Bissell's Pet Stain Eraser PowerBrush is our pick for the best value and best handheld carpet cleaner for pets. When we tested this model in the Cleaning Lab alongside six other portable carpet cleaners, it earned the best overall score and even outperformed many of the larger models we tested. We found the appliance easy to clean and maintain after we were done testing too. Skip the measuring and mixing of carpet cleaner solution by using any of Bissell's pre-mixed carpet cleaners in the 8-ounce tank onboard. While the tank is on the smaller side, that keeps the model incredibly lightweight, even when the tank is full. Two 8-ounce bottles of Oxy-powered spot and stain remover are included with the appliance. Using a cleaning solution from a different brand in your machine could void your warranty.

Pets are often startled by the loud sounds full-size vacuums and carpet cleaners make, but this handheld model earned some of the best scores for its low noise level. Stubborn pet messes are easily removed with the stationary rubber pet tool made to tackle pet messes better and you can turn off the rotating brush to prevent damaging delicate fabrics. Every purchase of this model supports which helps save homeless pets.

Professional Pet Stain and Odor Removing Formula

Pet stains, including dog and cat urine, are problematic not just because the stain looks unsightly. If left untreated, the odor can draw your four-legged friend back to do their business in the same spot over and over again. To prevent that, our Lab pros say this spray solution from Bissell is, unequivocally, the best choice. A liberal spray and blot will help erase the stain, then place a moist cloth over the area and let it sit for a good 12 to 72 hours. As the solution sits where the mess once was, the enzymes will keep working to eliminate the scent, not just mask it.

In our tests, we were impressed by the efficacy and the versatility of this formula. In addition to pet messes, the Bissell spray completely erased food stains too. What's more, it works on other fabrics including upholstery and mattresses — great for any human accidents, like a bed-wetting toddler. It does need more time than most to really work its magic, but our Lab pros say the payoff is certainly worth it.

Portable Carpet Spot Cleaner & Pet Stain Remover

Small but mighty, the Kenmore's SpotLite Portable Spot Cleaner earned a spot in our latest for its large tanks, extra long six-foot hose and two cleaning attachments, all of which make cleaning fresh and set-in carpet stains easier and quicker. We also found you can tackle an entire sofa, back included, in a single cleaning session.

The controls on the portable carpet cleaner are intuitive to use and the large tanks are easy to fill. Clear markings indicate how much solution to add for both small and big jobs. Once running, it did a great job removing all kinds of stains: grape juice, tomato sauce, coffee stains and more. On the downside, it's a bit heavier than similar models we've tested. There's no hose cleaning feature, either, but we were able to work around this by drawing clear water through the hose to rinse it prior to storing. And, unlike some other portable carpet cleaners, you don't have to stick to the brand's solution — any brand of portable cleaner solution can be used without voiding the warranty.

Pet Multi-Surface Stain & Odor Remover

This -winner works much like an enzyme cleaner but harnesses the power of probiotics to get the job done. It works on carpets, pet bedding and other upholstery and is just as safe and gentle as its enzymatic counterparts. Our Lab pros could hardly believe how effective it was, even on hard surfaces. The probiotics eat away at the odor-causing bacteria in pet messes for up to three days after use, eliminating both the stain and the odor.

It's a must-have in homes with dogs and cats and even little kids. One tester used the cleaning spray to clean up human urine from a potty-training accident, noting it got rid of both the stain and the odor almost instantly. It doesn't have much of a scent, which can be a pro or a con depending on your preference.

Paws & Claws Deep Cleaning Carpet Shampoo

Sometimes an all-purpose cleaner just is not enough to tackle stubborn pet messes, even with the best carpet cleaning machine. For tough pet messes, reach for this enzyme-containing carpet shampoo from Hoover to give your appliance the boost it needs. We have not tested this solution in our Lab yet, but with over 38,000 reviews on Amazon and our experience with the brand's other carpet cleaners, we feel comfortable recommending it. It has the ingredients necessary to break down stubborn stains and odors, including enzymes that tackle pet stains. According to the manufacturer, the formula also contains ingredients that protect carpets against future stains.

Reviewers rave about the pleasant cotton breeze scent the cleaner leaves behind on cleaned surfaces. Keep in mind that when you use Paws & Claws you'll have to dilute the formula with water before adding it to your carpet cleaner machine.

Do not use this product without a carpet cleaning appliance.

Revolution HydroSteam Pet Carpet Cleaner

We've tested previous iterations of this carpet cleaner with wow-worthy results, but the new Revolution HydroStream Carpet Cleaner from Bissell (true carpet specialists, if you ask us) brings something truly special to the table. It uses steam to treat stains and clean, then harnesses a unique quick-dry mode to dry carpets faster, allowing you to tackle a tough task in what feels like record time

In our tests, we steamed out tough messes, including mustard and wine stains, with ease. The controls are intuitive, the machine is easy to maneuver for a heavier upright and our pros especially liked the two attachments — a two-in-one upholstery tool made specifically with pets in mind and a 6-inch tough stain tool. The large tank allows you to clean expansive areas before refilling and the long 8-foot hose lets you tackle stairs and upholstery.

Commercial Mighty Pro X3 Pet Carpet Cleaner Pack

If you're looking to get a professional-level pet stain removal service at home without hiring a professional carpet cleaner, this full-size appliance from Rug Doctor might just be the one for you. With an almost 4-gallon clean water tank and a 2.6-gallon dirty water tank, you can clean large areas of your home without needing to stop to empty or refill the water tanks. We tested an older version of this model in the Cleaning Lab and were impressed with the results. The brand is well-known in the industry, and this particular model has even earned a for soil removal, water removal and gentleness.

Though this is the most expensive option on our list, the Mighty Pro X3 can be rented from your local hardware store for a fraction of the price as needed. Clocking in at almost 40 pounds, this also isn't the easiest model to push.
