Vax SpotWash Spot Cleaner | Lifts Spills and Stains from Carpets, Stairs, Upholstery | Portable and Compact – CDCW-CSXS, 1.6L, Red

Product Information

A few days after testing the Vax SpotWash on the carpet and cushion, I had to unexpectedly use it again, but this time for a spill. My youngest had put his drink bottle on our play mat and it had left a large puddle. Meanwhile, my eldest had done the same in the lounge, so I used the SpotWash without cleaner and just the suction, as it was just water that had spilled. This worked perfectly and both the play mat and carpet were left feeling dry in no time. Machine cleaning and maintenance 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. Unlike my vacuum-style carpet cleaner, the Vax SpotWash is compact and slimline, meaning it fits comfortably in my storage spaces, without taking up much room at all. The hose wraps neatly around the base of the machine and the power cord is stored tidily on the cable hooks. Manoeuvrability and noise Includes parts, labour, call out and delivery charges, so you can rest assured there are no hidden costs.

VAX SpotWash Duo spot cleaner effectively removes spills and stains, by combining powerful suction and hygienic deep cleaning tools, with a specifically formulated cleaning solution to target everyday stains. Practically and thoughtfully designed with a dedicated Messy Clean Up Tool solely for pet mess or tougher tasks like muddy trainer marks, you can keep the Every Day Tool separate and therefore hygienic for your day to day cleaning.

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? I have rated the Vax SpotWash Spot Cleaner four and a half stars due to its versatility, how easy it is to assemble, use and clean and the fact that it is great for removing spills and stains. I would have rated it higher if the design of the clean water tank was different, there was on board storage and it lifted stubborn stains more effectively. You’ll also find a thin crevice tool brush in the box, designed to get right into the corners and edges of a room. A good feature of the clean water tank is that it gives two options for how much to fill the machine. You can either fill it just enough for a small area, or enough for a large area, meaning you don’t waste water and solution by guessing how much to put in. Assembly and filling the machine took just two minutes. Cleaning carpets and rugs

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. Also, remember that the SpotWash is not waterproof in any way so you’ll need to keep an eye on the clouds before starting to clean your car's interior. 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 best thing about the spot cleaner is that you can easily control how much solution you want to use thanks to the hand-operated trigger. On surfaces that only needed to be vacuumed the spot cleaner could be used as a regular vacuum and on surfaces that were stained the trigger allowed the SpotWash to properly clean the surface with the solution.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 fact it can also be used for so many household tasks as well as giving car interiors such a deep clean makes it a worthwhile investment. Add in the clever self-cleaning function and clever, ergonomic design and it becomes a very tempting appliance to keep your interior looking factory fresh.
