Q: Can this be used on stairs for deep cleaning?

submitted by Stair deep cleaning - 14 days ago
  • A: Yes, the Shark StainStriker HairPro can be used on stairs for deep cleaning. It’s a portable carpet and upholstery cleaner with specialized attachments like the Mini Stain Eliminator and Hair Extractor, making it ideal for spot cleaning and removing pet messes on stairs. However, it’s not a full-size vacuum, so it’s best for targeted stain and hair removal rather than cleaning an entire staircase in one go.

Q: Is the smaller extractor built into the larger one, like on earlier models? I'm trying to get another of my exact machine and mine had both sizes built together making it super easy to switch between

submitted by Cuisette - 18 days ago
  • A: The Shark PX251TGT does not have the smaller extractor physically built into the larger one, unlike earlier models that nested tools together. It comes with separate attachments.

    Great little machine

    I got the a couple weeks ago and so far I love it does a great job spot cleaning. I have an elderly female dog and sometimes she will miss the pee pad and this makes cleaning a breeze

    Never use shipping option. UPS does not care.

    Never order this for delivery from shipping. I live on the third floor apartment and they left it on the first floor out by the entrance. Not pleased at all for an item that is over $100.

    Easy to use

    The Stainstriker Hairpro is easy to use. I’ve used it twice on my sofas. I use the whole tank of cleaner though I extract only a little bit of dirty water in the waste tank. It’s hard to tell how effective it is.

    not for me but it could be for someone

    I tried this yesterday for the first time. It semi worked on one out of three rugs . I was using it just to clean rugs. I have two cats but they don't really leave a mess. It just didn't work very well on the ones I tried to use it on. One was an indoor outdoor rug, one was a thin Runner , one was a thick rug with built-in pad. It did best on the thick one. It did warp the runner some. So it is not laying flat in the area I tried a test run on. And it did come with one broken piece but it's not a huge deal.

    Excited to keep using

    I like that it comes with the cleaner required, even though the bottles are small. I feel the suction power is excellent and the directions for use are easy to follow. I have an old dog, and she has been having urine accidents. Using the stainstroker to clean them up when they are “fresh” is a game changer. I can’t speak to durability yet, but I am going to keep this unit as clean as possible so it’ll last a good while. The unit is compact and the cord and hose are stored easily. I wish it had storage for the attachments—even a bag would be helpful. Would definitely purchase again.

    Great machine !

    I have a German shep, and I have a white carpet . YES YES I know bad mistake. But this cleans great !!! You can see the differences and now I need to do my entire carpet. Especially it’s all muddy since we live in a rainy state it comes up. AND IT IS THE RIGHT TOOLS! In descriptions it says “hair tools gray” just follow instructions on how to set up. Was very easy and simple. I honestly just wish the solutions bottles were bigger. And the solution lasts as well. With my green machine I’d have to fill up constantly.

    Failed surprise

    The item itself is not the issue. But the item came in its original box. So the present surprise was a fail. Very disappointing

    Perfect

    It took a minute to get the hang of it and at first, I thought the suction wasn’t working. Once I got the hang of it, I’m thoroughly amazed and should’ve gotten this sooner. I obsessed over which portable cleaner I wanted to get for years. This is one of the top rated ones and I see why. I used it on a set in stain on one of my rugs and it got it out without any issue. I attached a picture of the stain before and after.

    Picks up husky hair no problem!

    We bought this because we have a 4 year old and a husky!! Enough said about the messes and fur. This has been such a great way to spot clean messes! It’s easy to use and works so great! It lifted and removed the milk my child dropped on and between our beige couch and has no problem with my dogs long fur! Definitely worth it!
