Antimicrobial treated bristles help prevent the growth of bacteria between uses for a hygienic clean time after time. This is where a spot cleaner could be so useful. Just as powerful at removing stains as a carpet cleaner but in a more compact and portable design. The Vax SpotWash Spot Cleaner is one such example, a smaller way of cleaning fabrics and upholstery that we’ve put to the test. Once I had filled the machine with clean water and solution, I carried the Vax SpotWash up to my son’s bedroom. The spot cleaner is incredibly light and easy to carry around the house and up and down stairs. Following the instructions, I plugged the SpotWash in, unclipped the hose and with the multi-purpose attachment in place, I turned the machine on.

Includes parts, labour, call out and delivery charges, so you can rest assured there are no hidden costs. Vax does offer a cordless spot cleaner but the trade-off is that this one will only work for 15 minutes at a time between charges while the corded one can work until you run out of cleaning product. It’s all too easy to write the SpotWash off on the basis that you need a plug for it to work, and in some scenarios, it isn’t the best spot cleaner for a car. However, if you look beyond this then the SpotWash is a very impressive cleaning option for both your home and car.

The only real problems came because of the reliance on mains power. This wouldn't be a problem if you have a garage and driveway way but does become problematic if you live in an apartment or street-park your car. It's also incredibly loud compared to other portable vacuum cleaners, which isn't ideal. At just under 3.9kg, the Vax SpotWash is very light and easy to move around the house, from room to room and up the stairs. In terms of noise, it’s much louder than a standard vacuum cleaner, but not so much that it scared my children when it was on. How does the Vax SpotWash Spot Cleaner rate online?

The 3.9 kg dry weight is impressively low for the product, but also a rather redundant figure considering you need water and solution for it to work as a stain remover. At full capacity (with 1.6 litres of water and solution included) the SpotWash weighs 5.5 kg which is still very impressive and makes the SpotWash easy to carry around. The main 'Let’s Get Started' booklet contains all the information you will need to know to effectively operate your machine. The smaller guide, attached to the machine, contains condensed information on assembly and operation. I opted to read the main booklet, as this was the first Vax product I had used, although I have used other carpet cleaners before. Following cleaning the carpets, I only had enough cleaning solution to clean one more small area, so I decided to test it on the cream cushion on our dining table bench. This is where our eldest sits to have his meals, do crafts and play, so it was covered in a variety of food matter, paint and dried play dough. Many of the best upholstery cleaners had been pitched against the mess, but while they're great for the odd small stain, I needed something to do the whole bench which was discoloured from the dirt.You agree to indemnify and hold Vax (and its officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures, employees and third-party service providers, including but not limited to Bazaarvoice, Inc.), harmless from all claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of a breach of your representations and warranties set forth above, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. A spot cleaner is great option for dealing with minor day-to-day stains, rather than having to pull out a full carpet cleaner. While most work in a similar fashion, the Vax SpotWash Home Duo comes with two sets of tools: one for dealing with messy stains, with the other for more regular dirt. The only real issue stems from its compact design. As it's designed for cleaning smaller areas, you’ll probably spend longer cleaning a floor with this than you would when using a more traditional carpet cleaner. However, the obvious upside to the spot cleaner is that you can use the SpotWash to clean fabric sofas, upholstered chairs and even cushions, something that isn’t easily done with a traditional upright carpet washer. The suction was powerful enough to clean whatever was thrown at it and the multi-surface tool was good for bringing up more dirt. The 1.5-metre hose also makes the SpotWash good for reaching nooks that larger cleaners would struggle to reach, even if there are no crevice tools.

It is nearly inevitable that at some point, something horrible will be spilt in your car. Whether it be some shopping leaking onto the boot carpet or a child smearing their lunch into the seats. The type of stains that can’t be fixed with a vacuum cleaner alone. You need something a bit more powerful. You’ll also find a thin crevice tool brush in the box, designed to get right into the corners and edges of a room.

The addition of an extra set of tools for messy cleaning is a good idea, because there won’t be many who will be happy to use the same floorhead they’ve used to clean up pet mess for spot cleaning a stain on their expensive sofa. The self-clean function efficiently flushes the hose clean after use to help remove dirt and debris. The SpotWash can be used on your car's carpets and fabric upholstery (avoid using it on leather) and it was incredibly effective at not only removing visible stains but also refreshing the overall look of the fabric.
