6 Places to Spring Clean

There’s no better feeling than coming home to a clean house, lounging on your clean outdoor chair, or stepping into your fresh clean car.

That’s why we love using a portable spot cleaner so much. It can clean most soft surfaces in and outside your home.

Whether deep cleaning hard to reach spots and spills, refreshing surfaces, or spot cleaning everyday accidents, the Rug Doctor® Portable Spot Cleaner will help you get the job done and is so easy to use.

Here are just a few of the things you’ll want to clean with your Portable Spot Cleaner.

Don’t forget – always check the manufacturer’s tag of any soft surfaces for cleaning instructions first and test the cleaner and cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area for color fastness.

  1. Deep Clean Sofa and Upholstery
    Spring cleaning is the perfect time to remove the dirt and grime from your sofa, cushions, decorative pillows, stools, or any upholstered piece in your home. For best results, use a pre-treat on older, set-in stains and ground-in dirt. Fill your Portable Spot Cleaner with water and cleaning solution as directed and get to work.
  2. Clean Pet Areas and Bedding
    Your pet’s bedding can become dirty very quickly if they use it every day. Not only does pet bedding tend to accumulate hair, but it also collects dirt, pet dander, pet hair oils, and other biological messes that set in to cause stains and odors and discolor fabrics. The Portable Spot Cleaner is perfect for tackling tough pet messes. Start by going over bedding with a lint roller or pet hair remover. Next, whip out your Portable Spot Cleaner and fill with Spot and Upholstery cleaner.  Our upholstery and spot cleaner formula for Pro-portable spot cleaning machines deep cleans, removes odors, and protects soft surfaces with StainProtect® technology.
  3. Tidy Up the Stairs
    Stairs collect a mix of everyday dirt, grime, and spills. Therefore, it’s important to devote frequent maintenance to keep stains from setting in. Like the carpet in the rest of your home, the carpet on your staircase needs regular vacuuming. After vacuuming, spray a pre-treat on set-in, tough stains where needed. Next, use your Portable Spot Cleaner on the stain until it’s gone. You may need to go over the spot several times, depending on the severity of the stain.
  4. Prep Outdoor Furniture
    Nothing says spring like clean outdoor furniture cushions, and the Portable Spot Cleaner is up to the task. For best results, remove all cushions from the patio furniture and place them on a flat surface. Next, wipe down the cushion with a damp towel to remove surface dirt then deep clean with the Portable Spot Cleaner.
  5. Clean Car Interior and Mats
    Cleaning your floor mats is one of the quickest ways to improve the overall look and smell of your car, and the Portable Spot Cleaner ready to tackle all your auto messes. For best results, remove your mats from the car and vacuum them thoroughly. Prepare your Portable Spot Cleaner and voila, you are ready to deep clean.
  6. Spot Clean Boats and RVs
    Boats, RVs and other recreational vehicles are a huge investment.  The more you can do to protect that investment, the better the returns if you ever decide to sell or trade in. If you use a boat or RV regularly, some sort of grime, dirt, and spilled drinks will eventually get tracked onto the carpet, no matter how hard you try to prevent it. Timely vacuuming will help remove most of the loose debris, but some of it is sure to find its way deep into the carpet fibers. The Portable Spot cleaner is the best for the job. Its small size makes it easy to work in those tighter spaces!
