This concentrated stain-lifting formula, which is made in the U.S.A., can be used as a pre-treatment with regular carpet shampoo, or can be diluted to make a standalone cleaner.

It’s effective at both fighting stains and deodorizing upholstery and carpets, and the formula begins working in seconds. The manufacturers also note that it can work on items like sofas and sneakers, in addition to cars.

• Size: 24-ounce spray bottle
• Scent: Not specified

This water-based, non-foaming cleaner, which comes in a 24-ounce spray bottle, is useful for regular treatments to keep your carpets dirt-free. However, it’s not as effective for deep-cleaning as a true carpet shampoo. Due to its lighter nature, it is also safe to use on materials like vinyl and velour.
